Modular origami covers a large number of different topics. From paper you can make flowers, animals, cars, buildings. The choice is very large. Origami from the Flower modules is a wonderful addition to any room interior. Such an article will look great on a bookshelf, on a windowsill next to potted flowers, or in a living corner.
Amazing Origami Art
Origami refers to ancient creative processes. Initially, it was used in various rituals and rites. But later, art became popular not only in China, but also outside the country. Children liked it and is now widely used in extracurricular activities and art circles. The most common form of creativity is modular origami. From small pieces of paper voluminous figures are added up.
When a child is passionate about such a process, he figuratively animates the figures he has created. Such art not only develops children's thinking, imagination, but also helps the development of fine motor skills. After such additional workshops, children improve their memory and thinking.
Creating Modules
To make flowers from origami modules, you need to prepare the modules themselves. To do this, you need A4 sheets. They are cut into 16 equal blanks. Then the sheet is folded in half, then folded in half again. After this, the sheet should be turned with a fold towards you. The edges curl toward the center. The lower lapels are bent up, and the corners - in a triangle. The sheet is unbent. Triangles add up to the resulting outlined lines. Then the lapels are again bent up. The sheet is folded in half. The result should be a module of the correct proportions.
The easiest workpiece
You can quickly and efficiently complete crafts from the origami modules "Flowers". This scheme is very simple. It does not take a lot of time and material. It eliminates the creation of a large number of modules, so it is perfect for beginners. For the manufacture you will need green, white and yellow paper or cardboard. To create one volumetric flower, you need 1 sheet of yellow paper and 16 sheets of white. We add 17 special modules. It is important that such a module has two small pockets and two corners.
To form lines, it is necessary to form a rhombus. For this process, the prepared sheet is folded evenly diagonally. The remaining folds are turned inward. To the main line, formed vertically, the side faces of the rhombus are neatly wrapped. The procedure is repeated 4 more times. At the end, the sideline should appear in the middle of the figure. Making origami from paper (modules) “Flowers”, you need to make a blank with six even edges.
A bouquet of excellent flowers
The lower corners of the rhombus are gently bent toward the center of the workpiece. Then the procedure is repeated with all angles. A sheet of paper smoothly straightens. Ultimately, you should get a blank with bent lines to collect the flower. The workpiece is bent along the planned lines from all angles. Then the sharp corners are wrapped in the middle. Thus, the core of the flower should be obtained. To make origami from the Flower modules, the blank is laid out with the short side in the center.
In this case, 8x8 cm paper is used for the petals. After that, 8 modules are stacked in 1 row in a circle. In the middle of the resulting ring, a yellow module is laid. To decorate the stem using green colored paper, twisted into a tube. You can stick petals on it or put a bow on it. To get flowers from origami modules as a bouquet, the creation scheme is repeated several times. For example, for a bouquet of 9 flowers you will need 153 modules. Of these, 9 are yellow and 144 are white.
Making the stem and leaves
As a stem, you can use a straw, a straw or a small stick. The material is glued with thick green paper. The width of the sheet should not exceed 1 cm. The wrong side is smeared with clerical glue and pressed against the workpiece. Then it is wound in a zigzag pattern on a stick. To make leaves, you need a sheet of paper or cardboard 15x15. It must be folded diagonally and then deployed back. The edges of the workpiece must be folded to the middle. Then fold to the center on the other side. For veins at the sheet, all folds are ironed. The sheet is turned over, and the edges are wound on a pencil or the edge of scissors. Using this process, beautiful curls are obtained.
Simple colorful flower
To create origami from the triangular modules "Flowers" you will need 105 basic modules. To form the height of the flower, it is necessary to build the first three rows of 15 modules. Each row should close in a smooth ring. Then it turns on the other side. In this process, accuracy is very important.
The result should be one side of the modules, turned outward. Then another 2-4 rows are made in an identical manner. The height of the flower is left to the discretion of the author. All rows can be done in one color or different. If you use multi-colored sheets of paper, then the result should be a flower-seven-color.
Creating a Volumetric Flower
At the heart of this scheme are modules that are inserted into each other, assembling into a constructor. Origami from the modules "Flower" is made of 10 modules on each row. When assembling the first row, 10 modules are placed on the short side. They bend in a circle. Then 10 more modules of the second row are attached to them. When creating 3 rows, the modules are already installed on the long side. Then the tails of adjacent modules are connected.
As a result, the connection diagram of the modules in a checkerboard pattern should be obtained. After that, the flower turns over. The remaining rows will be composed by modules on the short side. 4 row is identical to the previous ones. On row 5, for each module, two modules must be put on. That is, for 5 rows they will need not 10, but 20. A free pocket should be inside. 6 row - the last. It will consist of 30 modules. 3 modules are put on 2 elements. When creating a figure, loose pockets should be inside the workpiece. The result should be origami from the modules "Flower".
