Mouse-origami own hands

Origami is an exciting activity, especially for spending time with children. Making figures from paper improves fine motor skills and favors the development of fantasy. Below, let's look at some simple schemes for creating origami from paper.

Curious mouse-origami

A square sheet of paper should first be folded in half diagonally, the fold line becomes the guide for other manipulations. After that, along the intended diagonal, we fold the sides of the square first from one side, and then from the other. The resulting folds straighten out to make small triangles - the future ears of our little beast. Next, we form with the help of folds the sharp muzzle of the animal on one side of the figure, bend the ears, as shown in the diagram, and make them volumetric in the form of cones.

The case for small: a thin tail is made by bending first the free part of the figure inside, and then back out again. The tail needs to be bent along the entire length in order to make it even thinner. To complete it, you need to paint on our little animal a little nose and eyes. Sit him on the floor or on the table, and the origami mouse will be interested in watching your actions.

Origami: the mouse on the side

Traditionally for origami, we need a square sheet of paper. First of all, you need to bend it in half to get a control bend. Next, we close the sides of the square with this fold in the middle. For convenience, the resulting rectangle can be folded 2 times in half to get marks on the paper. Turning it back, bend one quarter of the inside, straightening the paper from the middle up and down, as shown in the picture. These corners are bent along the center of the rectangle. On the other hand, make small bends and pull the paper from inside until the triangles form from above and below.

Further, the whole figure needs to be folded twice along the intended middle. One of the obtained tails should be hidden inside the figure, and the other one should be bent on the front side. The mouse's muzzle is formed from a triangle on the other side. Gently bend the ears, and the rear triangle is formed so that it turned out in the form of a paw. On the face it is necessary to draw eyes and nose. Mouse-origami turned to us a muzzle.

So, we continue to make origami from paper. Mouse sedentary will require a refined paper folding skills, because the lines do not always get straight and obvious. To begin with, the square sheet is bent exactly in the middle, after which the triangular pieces of paper are bent over one of the diagonals of the resulting rectangle. The untouched angle is bent inward until the formation of two pointed parts of the figure. These elements are bred in different directions and bent back to form a muzzle of the mouse. The bottom of this part is bent simultaneously with the inner folds to obtain a three-dimensional shape. The top of the muzzle is bent to isolate the ears.

The formation of flat ears is the most difficult part. They should be more or less oval and carefully bent against the whole figure. It is necessary to bend the paws of the mouse so that they do not go from the very nose, and bend the false tail. Mouse-origami is ready.

Making paper figures with family or friends is a great way to spend time together. We hope that in your collection of handicrafts there was added a funny paper mouse after reading this article.
