How hard is it to make an origami craft? In fact, it is not as difficult as it seems. Some people prefer to spend leisure time behind a book, while others prefer to weave from beads, but origami is now also becoming a very popular activity. And today we’ll talk about patterns for making a bunny: from plain single paper according to the scheme of Akira Yesizawa (Yoshizawa), a modular hare, and also remember the Easter rabbit.
Simple paper hare: scheme and interpretation
Modern models are much more interesting and brighter. But there are also classical schemes. However, in order to master modern origami technique, many initial figures need to be remembered. Here is the origami figure "Bunny" - one of these models, which are the primary basis.
Let's take a look at it. Origami "Bunny" is small. Like all figures made in this way, it consists of one colored sheet of paper. How to make such a cute paper hare? Just following the pattern.
Origami Bunny: assembly instructions
We will provide a graphic instruction explaining how to make a rabbit according to the scheme of a wonderful origami master from Japan, whose name is Akira Yoshizawa. This is a popular scheme. It’s possible that not even an adult will understand it the first time, but it’s interesting. Especially for those who want to learn how to perform the best origami models from memory, without patterns.
So what is she like? In the diagram, each bend for each angle is clearly spelled out. Dotted lines indicate angled folds and prebend lines. As indicated in Figure 9, for example. Tail assembly is described separately. The arrows indicate in which direction the paper is folded: up or down.
There is an additional scheme to this craft. We also present it in the article.
So a novice can see the process of making crafts at once in all planes and imagine in advance what a volumetric finished hare will look like. For this, the diagram represents a view from the left, and from the right, and separately from the back. Master Yoshizawa taught geometry. And he knew exactly how to make the circuit accessible. Therefore, comments are unnecessary.
There is a simpler bunny scheme that will require a little effort and time. This is a small animal with a pocket on its back where you can put a painted egg on Easter and decorate the table. Such an origami "Easter Bunny" may not be the prettiest craft, but just right for the Easter holiday is very suitable. And it is performed very simply.
Triangular modules: learning to build modular figures
Modules in volumetric origami use triangular, rectangular and square. How to make the module needed for origami "Bunny"?
- We cut a lot of rectangular blanks measuring 37 × 53.
- Bend the rectangle along the center, then across, also in the center.
- Flatten. We need the first fold. We bend the corners of 2 rectangles to it, those that turned out on both sides of the main fold.
- Flip to the other side. Below you can see two small “ponytails” below. Bend them up on one and the other side. Necessarily over the triangle.
- To bend small triangular "pockets" on the sides to the other side.
- Now bend the finished module in half.
There are a lot of such modules. 32 A4 modules of this shape and size come out of one A4 sheet. Count in advance how many sheets and what color you need for your craft.
Modular origami "Bunny"
Like all modular crafts, the bunny scheme begins with an elementary connection of the modules of the first and second row. Take 3 or 4 modules and connect them to the modules of the second row so that the long corners remain at the top. Modules of the 3rd row are superimposed on the 2nd row.
The body, which has an origami bunny made of paper, will be a little narrower than the head. In each row, count the modules so that exactly 24 elements are present. Then you need to narrow the ball a little, moving the elements to the center. Somewhere from the 6th row, change the color of the modules so that it can be seen that this is a bunny skirt.
Begin to attach the head and prepare 28 elements for the 1st row of the hare's head. Continue to lay in rows, and then do not forget about the ears and in the same way attach these details of the craft.
You will get a wonderful modular origami "Bunny in a skirt." But if you want to build the same figure without a skirt, it will be easier. The boy can be gathered in pants.
Other examples of rabbits from modules
There are various schemes by which other hares gather. If you did not like any of the above options, you can come up with and make a new origami "Bunny" - a new unique scheme. You can endlessly experiment with origami crafts. For example, add a bouquet or a basket to the hare. Or let him be with a bow tie or tie.
Working with paper requires a certain artistic taste. First you need to imagine what the new model will look like, and then put the idea into practice, thanks to a knowledge of the modular origami technique. So do the masters.
But the basis of the scheme remains the same. Penguins, owls, kittens, monkeys and other animals are made on it. By learning how to make a rabbit, you can easily create an owl and the famous Pikachu from cartoons.
And if you come up with a novelty yourself, share it on social networks. It will be very original and uncomplicated.
