Origami lessons: how to make a frog out of paper

Today we will tell you about how to make a frog out of paper. There are several ways to make this animal using the origami technique. Different options for how to make a frog out of paper differ in the results (appearance and properties of the craft). For example, in origami, static and moving models are distinguished. In our lesson today, we will consider the second option on how to make a frog out of paper. Our design will have an interesting property - the ability to jump. Moreover, at a very substantial distance.

how to make a frog out of paper

For those who don’t know or don’t remember what origami is, we hasten to inform you that this term refers to Japanese art that describes how to make paper crafts. “Ori” means “folding,” and “kami” means “paper.” In general, origami is the art of creating models from the material voiced above, without the use of glue and scissors (they may be needed only at the initial stage, since standard sheets have a rectangular shape, and most of the crafts are made on the basis of a square).

So we need only paper, hands and patience to work. Take an A4 sheet of the color that our future jumper should have. We preferred green, the most common among these amphibians, but this does not mean that you should do the same. We will leave the question of coloring at your discretion. So, we will describe the process itself of how to make a frog out of paper.

Now add the square along the second diagonal.

fold diagonally

And deploy again.

expanded square - 1

Next, double-fold the sheet in half. First, we press the top face to the bottom, iron the bend. We wrap and do the same with the two remaining sides. You should have a figure with these folds.

expanded square - 2

Now we begin to fold the square again along the diagonal line, but not to the end, but only to the midpoint of the line.

diagonal fold 2

And now we are doing the same on the other side. Add up to half the second diagonal.

continue to work on diagonals

Now we press on the formed valve.

That's what we should end up with.

And we press it to the top of the figure.

Now on the other hand.

There is very little left. We make paws.

We step back a bit and return the legs to their original position.

The work is ready.

When you click on the "ass" our frog will jump.

to jump you need to click on the model like this

If desired, you can add eyes, paint the back or do other decorative work. In general, the model can be considered complete. We hope that all the steps were easy for you and did not cause difficulties. Now you know one of the ways to make a frog out of paper.
