A paper polo shirt sounds like a tiny luxury, and folding one is more fun than you'd expect. This little model turns a single square into a crisp collared top — the kind of detail that makes an origami outfit look finished instead of flat.

The folding is all friendly moves: a quick cut, some creases, and a string of photo-guided folds that shape the body and collar. No reverse folds to dread. Set out the pictures, take your time with the many small steps, and you will end up with a neat little polo that is perfect for a card or a paper wardrobe.

This origami polo shirt is a charming little paper garment that turns a single square sheet into a recognizable collared top.
