Origami Unicorn From Blade Runner: How to Make One

By Eric Tuesday September 23, 2008

Let’s face it. We all want to be like Edward James Olmos. While serving as a captain of a Battlestar, he got to make out with Mary McDonald McDonnell. He was nominated for an Oscar in Stand & Deliver (‘how do I reeeach these keeeds’) and got to boss around Don Johnson on Miami Vice. All in all, he’s the man.

Well, now you can be just a little like Olmos, at least, like him in Blade Runner. Remember when he made that origami unicorn? Well, here are instructions, courtesy of Enveloop Online. Awesome.
