Origami Stormtrooper instructions and tutorial

Make your own origami Stormtrooper in just 5 minutes! All you need is a square piece of paper, and Force is not even required. This Stormtrooper origami model is simple and easy, and since it takes only 5 minutes, you can make a whole army of Stormtrooper clones! These Stormtroopers are in the same style than the 5 minute Origami Yoda and 5 minute Origami Darth Vader I designed before. Once you have folded your Stormtrooper, you can also fold a blaster. The blaster is made from a small rectangle of paper, made from half of one quarter of the square you use for the Stormtrooper. If you use 20x20 cm paper for the Stormtrooper, then you will need a rectangle of 10x5 cm for the blaster riffle.
