Origami is able to capture from the first samples of any novice master. This is such a fascinating art: after all, from a simple sheet of paper a beautiful figure appears right before your eyes. I want to try to immediately do something else and more.
Origami is divided into varieties:
- Simple of a square sheet of paper.
- Modular. Despite the fact that it appeared not so long ago, many have already managed to fall in love with folding volumetric figures from triangular modules.
In the article, we will consider in detail how to make origami a "bell" from paper in one and the second way. And if you add up a simple craft for a postcard according to the scheme, then for a modular volumetric design requires a detailed description of the work. Read all the step-by-step instructions in the article.
Craft from a sheet of paper
The assembly diagram of a simple origami "bell" shows the sequence of actions for folding a sheet of square paper. It is necessary to bend the paper sequentially, according to the sequence numbers of the scheme.
The dashed lines indicate the folds, and the arrows indicate the folding direction of the sheet. After performing a series of simple manipulations, we get the origami "bell". This craft can be glued on a sheet of cardboard and make a Christmas or New Year card. A magnificent bow will complement the work (preferably, also origami).
How to make and connect modules
Further we will consider how to correctly execute modular origami "bell". Firstly, you need to purchase special paper. It is denser than usual, and the craft will turn out to be more voluminous. Secondly, you will need to collect a lot of small modules to start collecting the shape of the bell.
A-4 format sheet cut into 16 or 32 parts of a rectangular shape. Collect each element in half horizontally and vertically. Then bend the extreme upper corners inward until joining the central fold. Hide the sticking pieces of paper inward and fold the blank in half so that the pockets are outside. Now you can start assembling the origami bell.
The photo above shows how the beginning of the craft is going. 4 modules have angles outward in a circle. Inside each triangular element, one more is inserted. Then all the details are fixed in the third row. All sharp edges are inserted into the pockets in a circle. So increase to obtain the required diameter of the circle.
Origami bell from modules
Gently pressing down on all sides with your hands, give the craft a cylindrical shape. Further, the bell shape is extended evenly without middle modules. The parts are connected in the usual way: that is, the modules are strung on the corners of a row with pockets in a circle.
In the end, you can simply expand the outermost rows outward with your hands or make triangular-shaped notches by laying out the modules with corners. To do this, divide the number of elements into groups of 5 pieces and first reduce each five to 3 parts in the second row, in the third there is only 1 module in the center. The extreme corners do not hide in pockets and stick out just to the side.
You can decorate the craft with a chenille stick, inserting it inside. She will depict a bell tongue. A lush, bright satin ribbon bow will look beautiful from above.
Try it, you will surely succeed!
