So, how can we use our Angel origami craft?
Origami Christmas angel has always been a classic home decoration for Christmas and New Year. Let us recall the old traditions, but we will make the New Year’s angel in a new way - according to the modular scheme of paper. What does modular mean? This folding of different individual parts without the aid of glue. For beginners, a simple scheme of an origami angel is more suitable.Therefore, we will first consider this option from a single sheet of paper.
Fold half the sheet, then again. After this we unfold the paper - two cross-shaped bends should turn out. Then we bend all the corners to the center, turn the craft over. We extend the pocket and begin to give the central part the shape of the head. Then again we turn two corners to the right and to the left - these will be two wings. Origami is ready. It can be hung on a string, the figure will flutter in the wind.
Origami "Angel" in a modular way can be done as follows:
For simplicity in explanation, we will divide folding into stages - modules. So, for the first module you will need blue paper, with a total area of 20 by 20 centimeters. For stage 2 - you need yellow paper - this will be a rectangle with a perimeter of 21 by 12 cm. Then the third module is also yellow paper measuring 5 by 15 centimeters, the fourth module contains a rectangle of white paper with an area of about 9 by 30 centimeters.
If you are familiar with the origami technique, then you should not have any problems with the assembly. So, you will need to make the following parts: head, halo, wings - 2 pieces and a conical dress. An angel's outfit can be made in the same way as an origami flower vase , only in this case the vase will be used upside down. We sculpt the head on the principle of puppetry. Then with paints we draw a pretty face to our little angel. The main thing is that he turn out to be good-natured. Wings are made of 4 or 8 paper feathers - you should know how to make them. You can additionally stick hair to the head, and decorate the paper nimbus with shiny sequins. This cute angel can be made of multi-colored paper, but you need to make sure that the paper is the same color on both sides.
