These masterpieces are obtained from paper by those who have mastered the technique of modular origami. But if a person is just learning, he better start with a vase pattern.
Modular origami is a technique of folding interesting shapes from many details. Various animals, flowers, cartoon characters from small modules turn out to be colorful and almost real. Since they fully retain their bulk shape. So, let’s see how modular origami is formed in stages - vase schemes, in our case.
How are the circuits assembled?
Parts (modules) assembled according to a certain scheme are not difficult in themselves. But the figures of them require patience. For large-scale large-scale crafts, sometimes a huge amount of these details is required.
As for the question of how simple modular origami is made, patterns of a vase, for example, or a swan, these crafts serve as the "basis" of training.
The rules for building any object in a modular origami are simple. The first row of modules combines and holds the second row, which is superimposed on top of the bottom row. And the third row holds the second, and serves as the basis for 4 - and so on.
It is only necessary in the correct sequence to add colored elements. If you disrupt the order of colored elements, the pattern embedded in the scheme will be lost. Simple drawings are visible visually, and if desired, you can not go astray. But more complex drawings require special care.
How to make corner modules?
Acquaintance with modular origami begins with the construction of elementary particles of this world - with modules. Before you sort out the little things how a vase is made up of modules, you still need to learn how to make modules, and know how they are interconnected.
Divide the A4 sheet into equal rectangles, cut them out. Each rectangle bends in half twice. We bend corners along the second deflection, we raise the remaining squares below. bend the resulting triangle in half. This item will be used for crafts.
Simple vase with diagonal stripes of modules
We assemble a simple vase, stacking the necessary modules one by one in a checkerboard pattern according to a simple pattern. Two parts of the first row and one detail of the second; two second rows - one third. So we go through 3 rows .
But first, we explain one subtle rule. The bottom of the vase is thinner, then the craft expands in volume. And to expand this craft, you need to increase the number of modules in the circle. To do this, on each tooth of the previous row, we apply 1 module of the next row, only the next 3 modules should be set according to the basic rule. After all, the figure should hold tight. And so we alternate the modules starting with 4 rows.
Already from 3 rows, you need to make 2 details of a different color to create a diagonal pattern. After each row, it is necessary to bend the folded elements in the right direction. Thus, the diameter of the vase first expands, then, in the same sequence and with the same pattern, gradually decreases .
And when the top of the vase becomes as thin as the bottom, you can make beautiful triangular racks to raise the vase a little longer. In total, it is required to prepare 392 modules of one color and 296 of another .
The result is such a vase with diagonal stripes along. This is a very interesting scheme for beginners.
Modular Origami Vase: DIY scheme
Complex drawings require special care from a person. Advice for beginners - do not forget to count the modules in each row.
Modular origami (vases), the assembly diagrams of which are complicated by different decor elements, must be assembled by observing the master class. However, you can rely on the graphic scheme. We give an example.
Knowing how the elements are fastened together, you can safely start assembling vases that are simple in shape according to similar schemes. For convenience, we also give a module counting scheme.
It is impossible to track visually the structure in the process without straying. Especially when a person takes up the construction for the first time. Be sure to check.
Vase with a complicated shape and pattern
A more beautiful vase in the form of a lotus is assembled in a different way. Let's analyze some of the nuances of the assembly.
Modular origami (vase patterns) is characterized by the fact that all patterns are symmetrical. An equal amount of white and yellow details in each row. The trick of this scheme is that the patterns in the form of petals are made as if in separate windows. They are built on the principle: 9 triangles - one side of the petal, and 9 - the other. Below and above they are held by common units. All other stages are already familiar, we will not dwell on them. And the number of elements can be calculated based on the height of the crafts, and build your own scheme. You can continue to train and try to make alternative schemes based on the imagination.
Origami crafts of varying complexity
The rest of the crafts are done on the same principle as that shown on the example of previous schemes. When the usual patterns are mastered, you can begin to make openwork patterns, mottled with various small ornaments from colorful drawings. In complex crafts, there are such elements as carved "windows", columns. It is important not to get lost in the calculation of the modules used in each row .
This is how a modular origami “vase” looks, the scheme of which is much more complicated than the scheme in the form of an elementary “cocoon”. But the craft is more interesting and colorful.
This art knows no limits, and all schemes are dynamic. If you want to build a larger modular origami, the layout of a large vase will be the same, only you need to create twice as many elements. And folding a large vase is also twice as long. In fact, in order to build a large modular origami, vase patterns need to be scaled.
Origami floor vase pattern
We turn to the explanations of the assembly of a very large floor vase. Here you need a cardboard skeleton that supports such a large modular origami. Floor vase (crafts scheme) does not contain a limited number of elements. Origami exactly copies the scale of a real floor vase. And the number of elements is even difficult to calculate. In this case, you need to focus on your creative vision of the subject.
First you need to find the model you like, and then build on it. How does a modular origami (vase pattern) look like? And what needs to be done next?
- The cardboard tube should be taken as tightly as possible. Glue cardboard circles along the entire height that will keep their shape.
- The bottom is also made of thick cardboard.
- Origami modules to build in stages from one floor to another.
- It’s not worth the first time to make a too “thick” vase.
- The number of all modules in a row is preferably written out on paper during operation.
It is clear here: the more such cardboard floors, the higher the vase. If the "creator" is still experiencing difficulties in the method of constructing drawings in origami, then it is easier to make a one-color vase, without any drawings.
After you learn how to build different modular origami (vases), assembly schemes for these crafts will be easy fun.
