Art from antiquity
This interesting hobby has Chinese roots. This is due to the fact that it was the Chinese who became pioneers in interacting with paper and mastered its production earlier than others.
At first, only wealthy Chinese owned the art of origami. For ordinary people, it was closed and inaccessible.
But the children were introduced to this art by the Japanese. Engaged in this passion samurai. They made various crafts and handed each other as a gift before a battle or a duel.
Origami was also made for marriage. Folded butterflies. They personified lightness and purity. After a while, the whole world learned about this interesting art of folding paper.
What you need to create a shape
You choose origami berries or geometric shapes - not so important. It's your decision. However, let's figure out what you need to have on hand to begin training.
The first is paper. Moreover, it does not matter which sheet you will use - foil, fabric or parchment. If you decide to make crafts on a more professional level, you can purchase special paper sheets in a specialized store. They look like this: square in shape, on the one hand - clean, on the other - colored. The only thing is to check that the paper folds easily.
So similar and at the same time different
Origami can be of different types. So, allocate:
- classic
- modular;
- kusudama;
- Kirigami.
Classic origami uses a regular sheet. Scissors and glue are not needed. When working on a modular type, sheets of different shapes and sizes are needed. They are stacked in several rows, and then they are joined.
Kusudama is also laying out like a module. After that, a three-dimensional figure comes out, a ball. You can put small objects in it.
But such a type of origami as Kirigami involves the use of glue and scissors.
Having mastered a simple technique, you can create a modular origami "Berry"
So how to do this? Making origami berries is suitable for beginners. A child can master this technique if you understand the system and follow the instructions.
Prepare the required materials for the cut to be used in the process. So, modules, satin ribbon, glue and scissors should be at hand.
It is from the modules that the origami of the berry will be made. From paper they can be made independently. To collect ripe strawberries you need 102 modules in the form of triangles, of which 82 are red, 8 are pink and 12 are green.
To get the job done, learn simple rules
It does not matter who will work on the origami of the berry, follow the rules that will protect both you and the children from undesirable consequences.
Since scissors are used to create origami, handle them carefully. For example, you do not need to direct them up and hold them in this position. If you are in a group, and there is a need to transfer the instrument to another person, do it with the point down.
Try not to cut in the air, otherwise your hand may tremble and you will ruin the paper or cut yourself. Therefore, grind the material over the table.
Picking ripe strawberries
The triangular module is also called origami with a 3D effect. In this case, in order to make modules, it is necessary to connect the same parts to each other. When you work on them, use the classic origami from one sheet, and then put the resulting elements into one another. The design comes out pretty sturdy. Therefore, glue is not used in it.
To assemble a modular origami you need to connect the first 3 rows.
The first should be 12 red cells. In the second, just like in the first. The same action must be done with row number 3.
Take the workpiece and join it in a circle, and then twist. Now we turn to the design of 4 rows. To create it correctly, alternate colors. Take 2 pieces of red, 1 pink or another color that you get. You can not additionally highlight the module with some color, but do everything in one color.
The fifth row should consist of 12 red modules. The sixth should be the same as the fifth.
We go back to the first row. Add blotches of 12 modules of green color to it.
Pick up a pre-prepared satin ribbon or silk fabric. Now it must be attached in the middle with glue.
That's all. Origami berries and fruits of other species, made in a similar way, can decorate your interior.
