Q&A for How to Make an Origami Pig

Get a couple of simple books that teach you the basic folds, valley folds, and mountain folds. Work on your hand coordination skills and being precise. Try to be as accurate as possible with the instructions. I find watching videos is a little bit better than reading books. But it's sometimes a good idea to watch videos and read books.

Any square paper is okay. It depends on how big you want the pig to be.

Look up Jo Nakashima's origami tutorials on YouTube. He does some pretty complicated things, and I'm pretty sure he's done a pig before.

You would have to get rid of the folded tail, make your own, and then attach it to your pig.

Yes you will get the best results if keep the folds even. When you fold, take your time by adjusting the folds before you make a crease, so you can keep them neat.

It doesn't always turn out like it should on the first few tries. It can also look like something else for different people, since everyone has a different perspective.

You can try using thicker paper to make it, but it will be difficult, because the thicker the paper is, the harder it will be to fold.

You could draw eyes or other facial features, but other than that, there isn't really a way to fold it more distinctly.

To make the pig's tail longer, take another small sheet of paper (preferably, of the same colour) and cut it to the length of the tail you want. Then, simply stick it onto the actual tail, which it already has (the one you would call "short").
