How To Make An Origami Turban - (Tutorial)

The turban is based on the very simple paper hat design but elaborates on it to make it look nicer. It uses small folds to make it seem like the fabric that a real turban would be made out of.

To make the turban, you must start with a size of printer paper (A1,2,3,4,5) etc. Fold in in half length ways and then fold over about another 1cm (1/2 In) on the hinge part of the first fold. Then, fold in half the other way and fold the top edges along that crease. then fold up the bottom flaps on both sides so they meet the next part of the shape. Now fold them again in the same direction over the top. Now, fold the bottom left and right corners into the center and then tuck under the flaps. Turn over and then tuck the top into the bottom flap. 

You have now completed your turban. Using an A4 piece of paper makes a relatively small turban. A3 produces the best one.
