Origami clapper and other origami crafts

Thanks to the very ancient and fascinating art of paper plastics, in other words, origami, we can create various objects and figures from paper. In the origami technique, not only objects decorating the house are created, but also useful, practical things. At the same time quite quickly and simply performed and various funny origami.

Those who are interested in origami clapper, for sure, have already tried to find a step-by-step instruction on how to make it. Probably, in the process of searching in the open spaces of Runet, you came across not one technique of origami.

Indeed, the origami technique is somewhat:
• modular origami. This technique is used to create paper volume figures, consisting of many elements, made by a single technology.
• medicinal balls (kusudama). This technique is used to create three-dimensional balls from individual modules;
• origami, made of wet paper. Thanks to this technique, created by the master of origami Akiro Yoshizawa, the figure appears to be "alive";
• Quilling technique. This technique is used to create volumetric or flat compositions made of long twisted strips of paper.

Practically each of us did in the childhood paper toys and other hand-made articles. For someone, children's entertainment turned into a favorite pastime. Someone now, on the contrary, is unlikely to be able to recall how in childhood children from a sheet of paper turned off a simple boat, or made a bug-cheater. And this despite the fact that, being small mischievous, they received a lot of pleasant moments, treating their parents much cheaper, if we draw a parallel with modern miracles of pyrotechnics. Our paper toys were not only "reusable", but also the safety of such entertainment.

Probably, you remember how clattered at the break of origami clapper, slamming close to chatting about something my classmates, caused their screeching. Why do not we refresh our memory of these long-gone carefree days?

Let's try to remember how the origami scheme looked like (clapper). You can make this harmless toy out of paper with the children!

Origami clapper does not require you to spend a lot. Of the materials we need only one ordinary piece of office paper for the printer or a sheet taken from the turn of the most ordinary school notebook. Recall that the notebook should be carefully removed from the middle of the notebook by unbolting the paper clips and not tearing it.

Further scheme of origami (cracker) will look like this:

1. The prepared piece of paper needs to be bent in half
2. The corners of the sheet are bent from two sides to the center
3. Bend the workpiece in half
4. Once again bend the sheet in half, and then unbend it, getting clearly marked fold lines.
5. Bend the edges to the existing fold line, obtaining oblique lines of bend from the sides of the workpiece
6. Now carefully fold our workpiece along the formed fold lines

Origami flapper flap in the event that take it by the free ends in such a way that the inside of the crafts looked straight ahead, while the hand must make a sharp move forward. If everything is done correctly, the inside of the flapper will fly out and produce a loud clap.

We can make a double or "double-barreled" origami clapper, which produces a loud clapping sound. To do this, the corners of our sheet must be bent from both sides. Then the workpiece is bent exactly in half once, and then again. Then alternately take both "wings" of the workpiece, put inward, bending in half. So we got a double cracker. Cotton is such a toy is made exactly as in the first case.

So, we made two harmless and funny origami: one and two-barreled gun. Armed and go to amuse your friends or loved ones, but do not forget to inform them in advance about the upcoming draw to avoid incidents ...
