Jar Jar Binks 2.0

Jar Jar 2.0

The head of Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars Episode 1. Folded from dark elephant hide with one side painted with white chalk to get the two-colour effect.
The ears came as a kind of gift after I managed to get the eyes right.
It's best to fold the model from two-coloured paper to get the nice colour changes.
Also check out the first version which is easier to fold.



Start with a square sheet of paper. If you are using two-coloured paper, the colour of the skin should be facing down, colour of eyes and inside of ears should be facing up
