Last Updated: June 26, 2017

This unique origami mountain can be made quickly and easily using an A4 piece of paper. It can be used as a background in a diorama and other similar projects.

Steps

1
Fold the top right-hand corner of the paper down as shown in the picture.
2
Fold the rectangular part of the paper over so it is on top of the triangular part of the paper.

3
Turn the paper over and fold the highest point of the triangle down to the bottom corner of the triangle. This essentially halves the size of the triangle and creates a "pocket" which will be used in the next step.
4
Unfold the rectangle on the bottom.
5
Fold the stand. Fold up the right and left bottom corners of rectangle at an angle. Insert the corners into the pocket formed by the folded triangle. This will form a triangular support stand for the mountain.
6
Fold the support section backwards and adjust it so that it supports the paper mountain.
7
Decorate your paper mountain. To add realism you could use some natural materials.
8
Finished!
