Origami is gaining its popularity every day, and this is not surprising. This wonderful technique not only skillfully conveys bizarre forms of animals and plants, but also develops fine motor skills of children's hands.
Today, this master class is designed specifically for them, so the main character of the article will be an origami dog, which can be made in a few minutes.
Material selection
First of all, decide what type of paper you will use. You can take both colored, well-known, and use very popular craft paper. Both options are perfect for our ideas.
You should also consider the similarity with the original. If you want your origami dog to be “alive,” use colors that are less vibrant. Well, if this topic does not bother you at all, just choose your favorite color and get to work!
Stage one: create a figure
- Take a square of paper and lay it face down. Form the central folds in advance by folding the workpiece in half.
- Then, placing the square like a rhombus, fold the opposite corners so that they touch exactly in the center.
- Bend one of the corners back outward slightly while hide the other inward.
- Fold the blank in half, and then bend one of the sidewalls up. It should be formed in the form of a corner sticking up. The same should be done on the reverse side, turning the entire product in advance. Thus, the head for the dog is formed, and with it the body.
- Extend your head slightly forward, then carefully iron all the folds. This action will give origami accuracy and completeness.
Stage two: final details
After the dog was made of origami from paper, you need to add some points to it that will make it more like the original.
The first is the eye and nose. They can be drawn with a dark marker or gel pen. In extreme cases, they can be cut out of paper and glued to glue.
Secondly, these are additional decorations in the form of a collar from a small piece of colored paper. Optionally, you can add a small address for greater similarity.
In addition, for the game you can create clothes for the dog (for example, paper blanket, which will be easy to put on), as well as items of "personal use" (such as bowls, beds, bedding and toys from various types of cardboard and paper).
Thus, you can create a real zoo, which you can play together and have fun with the whole family!
