Adults and children love to collect a variety of origami paper figures. But without detailed instructions, it is easy to get confused, especially for beginners, in this type of needlework. In the step-by-step diagram below, the model of the paper dinosaur Brachiosaurus, which can be performed by fans of origami of any level of preparation, is taken as the basis.
What you need to build a dinosaur
Step-by-step recommendations on the origami dinosaur scheme will allow you to assemble the model in just 30 minutes. The following materials will be required:
- paper;
- ruler;
- scissors;
- glue for fixing the finished product.
The figures made of colored paper look beautiful, it is worth giving preference to sheets that are denser, painted on both sides.
Dinosaur Build Description
First you need to prepare a paper square of 20x20 cm. Then outline the folds, as shown in the figure (steps 1-6).
After you get a figure resembling a rabbit’s ear, the corners must be folded in on both sides. The lower front flap rises, using a triangle formed by the intended folds as a guide. Both sides are pressed toward the center, then you need to bend the resulting back valve (steps 7-8).
Next, you need to flip the model, and fold the front part. The bottom valve bends slightly as shown in steps 9-10. This fold will help outline a guideline for the further assembly of origami.
The hardest part of a dinosaur pattern
The next stage is the most responsible, requiring special attention. Errors made in the origami dinosaur pattern in steps 11-19 will not allow to complete the model to the end.
The edges need to be pressed against the folds obtained in step 10. The side flaps fold up and then two large flaps pull down to the stop (steps 11-13). The folds need to be folded out and turned back on both sides (steps 14-15).
After which the model folds in half, the neck arches back. From the tip of the neck with the help of several bends a dinosaur head is formed, the tip of the nose. There are no criteria for the correct folding of the head. You can give it a shape that you like. Optionally, you can also draw eyes, nostrils, and jaws with colored markers (steps 16-18). After several bends, stable legs are formed (steps 19-20). The tip of the tail can be left straight or bent with several folds. And now a simple dinosaur figurine is ready.
The assembly diagram of a paper dinosaur presented in the article is suitable for anyone. A detailed step-by-step description with a schematic analysis will be clear even to beginners.
