Learn how to make a paper football (American rules football). This is probably one of the first folds I ever learned to make, and I don't really consider it origami... but at the same time, I thought it might be fun since the BCS football bowl games and NFL playoffs are just around the corner. So make one and have a little fun playing office football while the boss isn't around.

Here is a simple but fun fold. Use a regular 8 ½’ x 11’ notebook paper. Start by folding in half the long way. Next, unfold what we just did and fold each half in towards the center crease. After we fold in these flaps, we are going to fold in half again along the original crease. Next, choose one end and turn the corner up to make a triangle. Then flip that triangle up and make another triangle and do it again and again, and—well, you get the idea. When you get to the end, take the corner of the square flap and fold it down. And finally, we will take that flap and tuck it in, and there you go! Anyone up for a game of office football?
