Here is the same model pictured below.

This design begins with a kite base. The base of the kite is a common form of origami used to start different types of origami models, including the traditional origami swan. To make a kite base, fold your paper in half diagonally. Unfold. Fold two of the opposite corners to reach the center crease. This creates a shape that looks like a side kite.

Fold the top and bottom sides of the paper to meet the center crease once more.

Unfold the folds you made in the last step. The next step in this project is to create two bunny ear pleats on either side of the widest part of the base of the wing. Rabbit ear pleats make what will eventually become the front legs of your origami unicorn.

Fold the template in half along the center crease. Turn it over and make an inverted fold along the smaller end. This is the start of your unicorn's hind legs.

Make a second inverted fold to finish off the origami unicorn's hind legs.

Make an inverted fold on the long, thin end of the paper. Position the fold so that it touches the front legs of the unicorn.

Make a second inverted fold to form the neck of the origami unicorn.

Make an inverted fold to form the head of the unicorn.

Make a final back fold to adjust the angle of the unicorn's distinctive horn. The horn should protrude from the top of the unicorn's head. So here is a nice 3d unicorn origami.

Step by step origami unicorn heads

Take a regular-sized sheet of paper and cut it into 4 equal squares. You can do this by folding the paper in half and then in half again. Then cut along those lines. Paper from now on is therefore a quarter of the size of a sheet of paper.

Fold your paper along the diagonals then open it.

Bind off a point until it touches a crease.

Fold one side like this.

Fold the other side like this. (See the triangle? It's the start of a glorious horn!)

Unfold both sides.
Unfold the fold made in step 3. It should now look like this: (you now have the ears!)

Fold your point down to the crease. (Now we have the bottom of the unicorn's face.)

 Fold the lower triangle as follows:

Now fold the triangle down like this. So here is the horn of the unicorn.

Fold the two side corners down like this. (We are going to make the unicorn face narrower).

Turn it over.

And this is what it looks like from the front! (Don't forget to use markers and crayons to add magical unicorn details ...).
