Master-class: how to make origami owl

An oddity in the technique of origami - owl - can be done in two ways. The first one is simple, one sheet of paper is used. The second one is more complicated. As a result, an owl of modules will be produced. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with these two methods.

Square owl from one leaf

Master-class, how to make an origami owl from a single leaf:

1. Prepare a square sheet and bend it diagonally twice (Figure 1).
2. Straighten the paper.
3. Cover the upper corner by one third of the half of the sheet (Figure 2).
4. Turn the lower corner to the bent one so that their vertices touch each other (Figure 3).
5. The right and left parts of the figure are wrapped (Figure 4).
6. Corner the inner triangle unscrew (illustration 5).
7. Draw the eyes and make the plumage on the "wings" (Figure 6).

A very simple piece of art is ready!

Origami owl: a scheme with a wing

Instruction how to create an owl with wings in origami technique:

1. Bend the sheet of paper twice diagonally across the floor (picture 1).
2. Wrap the upper corner by one half of the figure (picture 2).
3. Turn the corner and tuck it in half (picture 3).
4. Turn the right and left sides a few millimeters (picture 4).
5. Turn the lower corner so that it reaches its top with the top triangle (picture 5).
6. Unscrew the small tip of the large triangle (picture 6).
7. Connect the right angle with the fold in the center (picture 7). Straighten the corner.
8. Turn the right angle to the formed fold line (picture 8).
9. Turn the right side again (picture 9).
10. Turn the figure to the opposite side (picture 10).
11. Unscrew the right side (picture 11).
12. Turn the left corner of the shape (picture 12).
13. Wrap the half of the tucked up part (picture 13).
14. Hide the part of the figure (picture 14).
15. Turn the hand-crafted thing over (picture 15).
16. Reverse the right-hand corner carefully (picture 16).
17. Draw a craft, make a plumage and face.

Made in the origami technique, the owl is ready!

Making modules for an owl 3D

To make a three-dimensional owl in origami technique, you need to prepare blanks, which are called modules.

How to assemble the module (master class):

1. Take a small piece of paper.
2. Fold the sheet in half in half (Figure 1).
3. Fold the rectangle again in half (illustration 2).
4. Straighten the shape.
5. Wrap the right and left parts of the rectangle to the formed fold line (Figure 3).
6. Flip the part (illustration 4).
7. Cut the bottom edges.
8. Fold the edges as shown in illustration 5.
9. Fold the figure in half (Figure 6).

To create an owl in the technique of modular origami, many such blanks are needed. Also, you need to consider what color your work will be. Maybe you want to make it not monophonic and highlight the muzzle and tummy.

Owl: modular origami

Any such work begins with the fact that the first series is going to be:

1. Put the two modules in the same way as in picture 1. That is, they must touch the sides.
2. On top of the two sides, put on the third module (picture 2).
3. Add another module down and put the fifth on top (Figure 3).
4. Gradually, so you can make two rows of the basis of any crafts origami (picture 4).
5. When the series is complete, fix the first and last workpieces by the module (Figure 5).
6. The next row is put on the modules of the second (picture 6).
7. Then the hand-crafted thing turns over and all subsequent modules are put on top (picture 7).

That's how the modular owl assembles.

Example

Where your imagination and possibilities will lead, this will turn out to be an owl. Modular origami, the assembly scheme which can be very simple or vice versa - very complex, gives unlimited possibilities for creativity.

For example, you can make such an odd thing - an owl with ears, as in the picture above. To do this, take only two colors to create the modules. When creating the first two rows, already consider that your tummy will have a tummy highlighted. Therefore, first collect a few modules of color A, and then add color B. So connect the whole figure resembling an egg. Along the sides of the top at the end, attach a pair of models that will represent the ears. And cut the paper out of the paper and paste it on the finished product.

Look at the picture below.

As you can see, you can make a more complex owl, which will have a separate trunk and head. First you need to make modules of different colors. For example, black, white, brown, orange and red shades. Then gather the bottom part of the owl - the body. Rotate the modules in color. White is the tummy, brown is plumage, and orange is the edge of the wings.

When the body is ready, you need to collect the head. Here you need to select white and black eye modules, and from the three reds make a beak. Then just put your head on the body. All! Modular work is ready!

You can also make an owl 3D with splayed wings. But this is more difficult work, because during the assembly of the main part you need to make on the sides protrusions. On them the wings are then assembled from additional modules.
