This article will talk about how to make modular origami. The color scheme is a whole culture of creating various bouquets. The basis of the crafts are small modules of multi-colored paper. This technique is assembled as a designer and allows you to get various volumetric flowers. There are a lot of variations of creation: roses, lilies, cornflowers, daisies, water lilies and even flowers in the form of voluminous balls on a thin stalk.
Amazing art
Modular origami is an amazing art of creating volumetric figures. Such a technique originated in China. Thanks to the small folded triangles, you can make various variations of houses, animals, plants, cars. Adults and children with their own hands create unusual souvenirs, garlands, Christmas tree decorations. All this covers modular origami. The color scheme in the creation is very simple. Its feature is that crafts are made up of various small modules. Such flowers are almost indistinguishable from real ones. They are decorated with rhinestones, sparkles, foil, varnish. Finished work is used to decorate the premises of houses, apartments and offices. Bouquets are hung in flower pots, put in vases, on bookshelves, window sills.
Preparation for work
The workplace should have a flat surface. To make origami modules you will need:
- several sheets of A4;
- pencil;
- ruler;
- scissors;
- stationery glue.
Modular origami for beginners is just the first step in understanding this art. There are various more complex ways of making figures: sweep, quilling, kirigama, monegami, kusudama. For modular technology use paper or cardboard in different colors. A sheet of paper is drawn into several equal rectangles. So that the future craft was large, you can draw a sheet into 16 equal parts. If smaller - by 32.
Recommended rectangle sizes:
Creating an origami module
1. The rectangle folds horizontally in half.
2. Then doubled vertically. The workpiece must be returned to its original position. It turned out two straight lines along which you can make the module.
3. One side of the workpiece folds toward the middle.
4. The second mirror side folds to the middle in the form of an airplane.
5. The lower part of the workpiece is folded in a straight line.
6. The protruding segments are bent.
7. The protruding workpiece is bent up.
8. The design bends half. Both sides of the module are firmly connected.
Modular origami for beginners covers various variations of creating crafts. Such schemes are very simple. If you follow the exact instructions, even a child will independently create an original craft. Consider several ways to create colors.
Modular origami: instructions for creating a lily
To create a lily, you need two-color paper. You can combine shades to your liking. Looks great white and red, orange and gold, pink and yellow. It will take 85 modules of one color and 50 modules of another. To create the stem, you must use green-colored paper. It will take 39 emerald modules. A total of 174 blanks will be needed. This is the amount that modular origami covers. Lily assembly starts from the center. The blanks are connected in a smooth ring. 2 rows are created. Each of them uses 5 modules. Thanks to these details, it will be possible to bond future petals.
To create a flower petal, 1 module is used in 1 row. Further, in each row, their number increases by 1 piece. In the 2nd row - 2 modules, in the 3rd row - 3, in 4 - 4 modules, in 5 - 5 modules. Starting from the 6th row, their number is reduced by 1 piece. 6th row - 4 modules, 7th row - 3 modules, 8th row - 2 modules, 9th row - 1 module. Since we used 5 modules to create the center, we will need 5 petals. To make the stem, it is necessary to alternate 1 and 2 modules in each row. Odd row - 1 module, even - 2 modules. The leaf of the stem is collected according to the scheme: 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1. The leaf is attached in the middle of the stem. Stamens are created from white cardboard. The material is twisted into a tube. Then it scrolls around its own axis. The flower is put on the created stalk. Stamens are inserted inside. The modular lily is ready! Another way to create a composition is presented above.
Queen of flowers - rose
A beautiful flower that will adorn the bouquet wonderfully is a rose (origami). Modular art embraces various creation techniques. The easiest way is presented in the photo. Consider the most complex in more detail. To create such a rose, you need 9 modules. Three of them cut off valves. Then they must be minimized. To do this, you can use a knitting needle, a straw, a wooden stick. The long side of the module should be at the same level, that is, with a flat end. In the remaining 6 modules, the corners are bent, creating the illusion of a limb of the petal. For the base, a small circle with a diameter of not more than 2.5-3.0 cm is cut. The valves of the three modules are lubricated with clerical glue. Then they are attached to the base. Three more of the same modules are glued inside. Modules with cut valves are placed in the center.
The stem can be made from a wire painted in green. You can use a tube or stick, which must be glued with emerald-colored paper. The bud is neatly attached to the stem. To create a larger effect from the green cardboard, you can cut the petals. It should turn out a beautiful rose (origami). Modular art recommends mixing these flowers with other species, creating excellent bouquets. Usually, roses are placed in the center. At the edges, establish asparagus, bergras, fern, gypsophila or ruscus. Roses look great in combination with lilies, daisies, forget-me-nots, tulips and peonies.
Modular Origami: Orb Origami Color Scheme
To create colors, it is recommended to use double-sided cardboard or colored paper. It is desirable that the workpiece has sides in different shades. Modules of the same size are folded from paper. Then they are given volumetric form. Corners pinch and stick together. A volume ball of multi-colored modules is created. As stamens, curled paper is used.
To fix the workpiece, tubes, sticks, laces and thin ropes are used. Various techniques for creating crafts covers professional modular origami. The Kusudama color scheme is one of the rarest and easiest ways. If you carefully follow the instructions, you get a bouquet of unprecedented beauty. Above is another way to create such colors.
