Here's How To Make Kid President Out Of Origami

Origami paper artist Lisa KN gives us a glimpse into how she creates her amazing pop culture portraits. Art meets craft meets the internet.

Materials

You'll need the following items:

- an old pen w/o ink (to use as a stylus)

- tweezers

- glue

- scissors

- sketch paper (or construction paper) to use as a canvas

- a variety of origami (or colored construction paper)

- a drawing of the subject you want to create.

Step 2: Press hard with the pen to trace an outline of the subject onto the origami (or use carbon paper).

Step 3: Cut out the origami along the traced outline.

Step 4: Paste the pieces onto the canvas with glue. Use tweezers for small pieces. Repeat 2 and 3 with other colors until your piece is finished.

Step 5: Use your imagination to incorporate other materials (e.g., toilet roll, kite string, cupcake paper, etc.).

Step 6: Make a suitable background for the finished piece.

You might not have the artistic prowess to pull off such a feat of origamic beauty, but here are some of Lisa KN's other portraits for you to gawk at.
