Origami Deerstalker: How-To
Tumblr media
Happy 170th Birthday to Sherlock Holmes! In honor, I thought I'd try and make a tutorial for a rudimentary origami deerstalker hat
This hat is a modified version of the Old Scholar hat found in the book "The Art of Chinese Paper Folding for Young and Old" by Maying Soong. It is available on the Internet Archive, and if my instructions are unclear at any point, I recommend referencing the original instructions on page 50, and maybe even doing a test run with those instructions first to better understand what I'm doing here. However, also feel completely free to comment or message me about any questions you have.
You will need a square piece of paper. I used a post-it note for my photos, which as you can see fit my Smiski quite well, but the original instructions recommend a 20 inch piece of paper to fit a small head. Consider the flexibility of your materials and how loose you want it.
Step 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fold and crease your paper in half both diagonally and lengthwise. Then, fold along your lengthwise creases, pushing in along two opposite diagonal folds. This should flatten into a smaller square.
Step 2
Tumblr media
Fold only the upper layer of paper upwards, not quite meeting the corners and leaving a small border of space.
Step 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fold the upper layer along the middle of the shape, creating a lip. Fold this lip under and inside the shape to hide it.
Step 4
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fold the uppermost layer of paper downwards. Fold the lower corner of the layer up, about a third of its length. Fold the layer back upwards.
Step 5
Flip over your paper and repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 on the other side. This will create the side flaps of the hat.
Step 6
Tumblr media
Fold the top layer in half lengthwise, bringing the right and left corners together, and repeat on the other side as well. The two sides we have not folded yet should now be visible.
Step 7
Tumblr media
Fold the uppermost layers of paper on either side up and in half.
Step 8
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Crease the top corner of the upper layer down to meet the bottom (at the fold made in Step 7). Unfold, and fold again to bring the top corner to the crease we just made. Fold again at our initial crease.
Step 9
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fold the upper layer of paper to create a fold between the corner and the middle. Make a small fold to bring down the top corner of the upper layer of paper, about meeting the visible lip from Step 8.
Step 10
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fold the upper layer down. Bring the corners on either side to meet in the middle and crease them in half.
Step 11
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unfold and bring the corners to meet the crease we just made. Then, fold along the crease again. Fold the bottom of our top layer back up along our horizontal fold.
Step 12
Flip your paper over. Repeat steps 8, 9, 10, and 11 on the other side. You have now made your brims.
Step 13
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Open your hat up from the bottom. Congratulations! You have made an origami deerstalker!
Again, if any instructions were unclear, checking the original instructions may help, but also feel free to reach out to me. If you make one, I'd love to see it! Happy Birthday Sherlock Holmes!

The world's largest Sherlock Holmes collection.
Not in London. Not in England at all. It's at the University of Minnesota.
"Buried 90 feet below the West Bank of the University of Minnesota, there's a treasure trove of items inspired by one of the most popular literary characters of all time.
The U's Anderson Library has more than 60,000 pieces of Sherlock Holmes history, making it the largest collection devoted to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective in the world."
youtube
I worked at a mystery bookstore, and the collection's archivist used to call me and ask if we had anything new that was Sherlock-related. I sent him several Holmes vs Cthulhu books. ;-)

Hold My Hand
Plot: Tensions and feelings arise when you and Sherlock end up in a precarious situation when running from a murderer.
Prompts: Forced Proximity, Sexual Tension (mild), “Hold my hand and don’t you dare let go.” <changed slightly, I hope you don't mind
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes (Enola Holmes) x Gn!Reader
Written for @multifandomfix for their birthday event. Happy Birthday! I couldn't decide on one prompt so I kind of mashed a bunch together lol.
Warnings: Nothing really.
Words: 1k.
A/N: After watched Enola Holmes 1&2 I've been debating writing for Sherlock. I have a Christmas fic planned for him, and I thought this might be a good time to test it out. Also I had no idea what to title this lol.

-
Your throat was hoarse as you ran down the cobblestone street. You glanced behind you, seeing the man chasing you not far behind. Glancing to your right, you saw Sherlock, jaw clenched, hair flying as he ran beside you.
When you agreed to help Enola with her current case - which she fervently assured you wold be an easy one - running from a murderous and crooked inspector with Sherlock Holmes beside you, was not how you thought it would end up.
Slipping through a small group of people, you stumbled to a stop, as your eyes cast over the busy market square.
"The market?" You asked out of breath.
"Yes, we could lose him in here."
The bustling crowds would surely provide you cover from your assailant, giving you time to lose him, but you risked being split up in the busy crowd.
Apparently Sherlock had this same thought, as you felt his hand reach down and grab your own. You felt your heart jolt in your chest as you looked from his hand, to his eyes, which he locked with yours.
"Hold my hand and don't let go." His voice was tense, and his gaze sharp.
You nodded, before he quickly started off into the crowded market. His hand was gripped tightly around yours as you ran close behind him, slipping through the crowds of people.
Looking back behind you, you spotted the familiar bowler hat of the man chasing you, as he bobbed through the crowd. You could tell he was losing sight of you as he hesitated in his steps.
"Were losing him!" You called to Sherlock as you weaved past a large group of vendors.
Taking a sharp left, and slipping past a market stall, Sherlock pulled you into a thin, darkened crevasse of an alleyway.
The alleyway forced proximity between the two of you, as your chests pressed together. You felt Sherlock slowly let go of your hand. You moved your hands and planted them against the wall behind you. The pressure of Sherlock's grip slowly fading.
Noting the closeness of your bodies, you found yourself holding your breath. Your eyes locked for a moment and you felt something pass between you, before you both broke eye contact and peered out into the crowds.
If your sudden avoidance of eye contact was to avoid the tension that palpitated between you, or to look for your assailant, you weren't sure.
Your eyes moved from one person to another, waiting to see the man pass by. After a few moments of not seeing him, you felt nervousness and relief wash over you. You may have lost him for now, but he could be anywhere.
Looking back to Sherlock, you felt a small jolt course through you, as you saw his eyes already locked on you. You felt the back of your neck heat up, as his eyes bored into you.
The detective had made you nervous from the moment you met him. The way his eyes seemed to follow your every movement, the way he studied you, you couldn't help but wonder what he could see. It had to be something notable since he seemed determined to keep you with him since he agreed to help Enola with her case a day prior.
Finally breaking the tension that seemed to be growing heavier between you, you spoke with a hushed voice. "What now?"
Sherlock seemed to snap out of his thoughts as you spoke. He paused for a moment as he took a breath.
"Now, we slip out into the crowd, grab something that could disguise us, and find our way back to Enola. Hopefully she and Tewkesbury have gathered the evidence she needed while we were being chased through London. She should have had plenty of time. Once we have it, we take the evidence to Lestrade, and then-" He paused, his voice going silent.
You rose your brow lightly "And then?" You asked.
"And then-" He began, his voice soft, but you saw his thought falter as he spoke "And then the case is done."
You weren't sure why you thought he intended to say something else, but you felt the disappointment of it anyways. You nodded your head as you forced yourself to look away from him.
Peering out into the crowds, you mumbled softly. "Sneak out. Find a disguise. Find Enola. Case closed. Sounds easy enough."
Looking back at Sherlock, he had a soft smile on his face "Something Sounding easy, and being easy don't always coincide."
You smiled softly and shrugged your head "I guess we'll find out if it does this time."
As you began to step out from the alleyway, you jumped back when you felt Sherlock grab your hand
"Wait."
"What?" You asked as you looked around hurriedly "Did you see him?"
"No, no, we're fine, it's just..."
You eyed him with curiosity as he seemed lost for words. "What is it Sherlock?"
"I- I don't know how much time we will have to talk once we leave this alley and get back to Enola."
You felt your heartbeat speed up as your neck grew hot again. It was unusual seeing Sherlock Holmes uncertain.
"Yes..?"
"I- I have enjoyed my time with you these last few days. You...pique my interest in ways I find to be unexpected. So, if- if it is desirable to you. Perhaps, once this case is over, you would be willing to have dinner with me?"
His previously downcast gaze slowly rose to meet yours. The restraint you had to use not to show your surprise was great. But you remained stoic, before you smiled softly at him.
"I would love to have dinner with you Sherlock."
You saw the small hint of relief wash over his face before he smiled. With a nod of his head he spoke softly "Great. I could pick you up tomorrow, around six?"
You repressed the grin pulling at your face as you nodded "Alright, six it is."
His smile grew wider for a moment before he remembered your current situation. He cleared his throat.
"Perhaps we should go now, before we are found here."
You were jolted back into the moment as you nodded your head "Yes, right."
You both spared each other soft knowing smiles before you slipped from your hideaway. Sherlock's hand reluctantly slipped away from yours as you quickly returning to your previous business. But both of you anew with an excited and expectant energy.
