Performing origami “Owl”

Stages of work:
Take a square piece of paper 10 cm by 10 cm. Place the colored side down;

Carefully slightly bend the sheet into four parts;


Bend the top corner down;


We bend the lower part so that the two corners (upper and lower) touch;


Bend the sides a couple of centimeters from both sides towards the center. We monitor the uniformity. They will become wings for the future bird;


Let's create a beak using a bend in the middle;


Draw the eyes symmetrically in black;


We will leave three stripes on each wing. They complete the composition.

Here is such a small origami lesson for our kids. Such funny figures are not very difficult to make, and arouse interest not only among children, but also among adults. I hope you enjoyed this lesson. Share it with your friends on social networks, they also have kids. Subscribe to blog updates and you will see many more lessons on different topics.

In the meantime, see you again on the “Family and Childhood” website. Bye bye.

The owl is an interesting, recognizable bird. It is a symbol of wisdom and intelligence, as well as an image of caution, vigilance day and night.

Even beginners can make it using the origami technique; just carefully study the assembly diagram. And there are more complex figures that experienced craftsmen can handle.


This is the simplest option that is optimal for children. Here is an approximate description of the sequence of actions:

Step by step instructions:

  1. Take a square sheet and bend it in half in both directions.
  2. Fold the corner towards the center.
  3. Next is a small fold.
  4. We bend the edges.
  5. Making the bottom corner.
  6. Small corner - down.
  7. We fold the side part and bend it.
  8. Another fold on the side.
  9. We form a wing.
  10. Turn the workpiece over.
  11. Fold down the side.
  12. We point the corner up.
  13. Small corner - down.
  14. We create a pocket, as in the diagram.
  15. Turn the figure over.
  16. The final touch is to bend the corner back.
  17. We draw eyes and decorate the bird.

There are many ideas on how to decorate an origami owl: outline the feathers, glue on the beak, attach the paws. You will get a bird like the one in the photo.

Volumetric owl made of modules

There is an assembly diagram for this work, it is simple. Wings are added separately and made according to the scheme: 3 modules, 2 modules, 1-piece. And are attached to top part torso.

To create a three-dimensional figure, you just need to make many identical paper modules and carefully fasten them together; to do this, insert the corners into the pockets.

How to fold such beauty using the origami technique is clearly explained in the video.

Ideas and patterns for creating origami owls

Look at modular versions of owls and bird folding patterns using the classic origami technique in the gallery.








The striking feature of the paper owl is the use large quantities flowers and two different ways module connections: short and long sides outward. Thanks to this, the figure turns out to be embossed.

You will have to prepare only about 600 parts and then assemble a mysterious bird from them, based on the diagram. An excellent result is guaranteed if you follow the rules and recommendations. The owl will turn out to be unforgettably beautiful. It will decorate any interior and is suitable as a worthy gift. In the end, you will have a reason to be proud of yourself and your achievements.

Owl from modular origami: step-by-step instructions

For work, prepare:

  • 270 brown modules;
  • 172 green parts;
  • 129 pieces white;
  • 37 black triangles;
  • 7 orange;
  • colored paper for eyes;
  • glue to glue the modules together during the assembly process (optional).

In fact, you can do without glue. The craft will turn out to be quite durable, but if it is to be a toy for a child, it is better to glue it together.

To make modules (how to make them is described in detail), it is recommended to take paper with a density of 80-100 g/m2. m. I have rectangles measuring 4x6 cm. You may have other indicators.

Owl diagram made from modules

To make the assembly method clear, I am attaching a diagram of a paper owl. Everything is simple here. One rectangle corresponds to one module of the same color.

K- means the module is inserted with the short side facing out.

D - long side out.

Collect rows from bottom to top. In total there are 32 rows to be completed.

Owl base

You probably noticed that the owl is sitting on a green stump, branch or grass. Start with eight rows of green triangles. Each contains 20 pieces. Make a standard base (), which consists of two rows. After connecting into a circle, one row goes inward and will not be visible (the one from the modules inserted with the short side). In the diagram, the base is the two bottom rows.


Assemble 6 more rows of 20 green pieces, inserted with the short side facing out. In the next one, outline the clawed feet of the night bird.

How to assemble an owl from modules




Now feel free to use glue to make the edges stronger. It would also be a good idea to glue the base together to make assembly easier, but this is optional.


The last and most important touch is the eyes for modular owl. Make them from colored paper. You'll have to spend time to get suitable option. I got these. Perhaps you can come up with something more original. Go for it!

Now you have become even more experienced in modular origami. An owl helped you - a symbol of new knowledge and simply a noble bird.

Hope you had a great time! See you on the pages of the site! There is a lot of interesting things ahead.

The art of folding figures from modules came to us from the East, where it is valued more than ever manual labor. Painstaking and demanding work will fully reward you with the charm of the created volumetric figure. So, let's figure out how to create crafts from modules.

To create each model, origami color schemes are required. Studying such sample diagrams will be a great activity in your free time, as well as a way to relax and relieve stress.

Origami from triangular modules: first steps

Any figure modular technology starts with preparation triangular modules. Like bricks, these blanks contribute to the birth of a new paper masterpiece. The production of these modules is done according to the traditional origami scheme - from one rectangle of paper:

Step-by-step tutorial for making an origami vase from triangular modules

The simplest object created from modules is a vase. It will take you about 30 minutes to make. As a result, you will get a very stylish interior detail or great gift for loved ones or relatives.

So, for work, prepare 380 modules of any color.

We begin work with a series of 20 modules.

We connect the corners one after another, then closing the workpiece into a ring. We collect another 15 rows of 20 modules:

Please note that in the 16th row the corners must be placed with the long base inside the workpiece:

Now we form the wedges of the vase. To do this, we place 4 corners every 2 modules.

In the next row we attach 3 modules on top of the previous 4, then 2 each. We complete the wedges with 1 module. Bend it outwards:

The vase is ready! You can add more flowers made using this or another origami technique.

Once you have learned how to assemble a round vase, you can try your hand at creating other shapes that have a similar structure. For example, the figure of a cat.

Cat made of modules

As you can see, the cat’s body has approximately the same structure as the vase. The only exceptions are a few details: tail and ears. For this model we need 1000 white modules and 130 pink paper corners.

Origami owl from triangular modules

And this is what an owl made of triangular modules looks like:

There are even fewer differences here from the vase we have already created. Showing your imagination, you can add eyes, a colored beak, and also make wings on the right and left. For example, like this: http://stranamasterov.ru/img3/i2010/10/22/018s.jpg

For this model we need 157 purple modules, 62 white, 2 black and 7 orange.

We start with 5 white and 13 purple corners:

Having collected 3 rows in this way, we turn the work inside out:

In the next row we add 6 white and 12 purple corners:

The base of the owlet should consist of 6 rows. In the 7th row, we turn the corners with sharp corners inside the workpiece.

In the 8th row, we again turn the two central white modules with their sharp corners inward, and attach the remaining corners in the usual way:

In the next row we add an orange beak to the white “inverted” modules of the previous row:

In the next row we add black eyes:

After this, we begin to design the top of the bird’s head. We place 1 module above the beak purple, the remaining colors are unchanged - white and purple:

We reduce the number of modules to 8 purple ones:

Now we form the ears by adding 3 corners symmetrically to the nose:

We finish the ears with the 1st module:

The bird's legs consist of 3 corners each:

For the tail we attach 2 more modules. And glue wings, consisting of 3 modules each, to the base of the figure:

The owl is ready:

You can also watch video tutorials.

Swan

Previously, we already discussed how a swan is made from modules.

For those who have not read that article, we are attaching video lessons.

By the way, it is also based on a simple round shape.

By adding a tail, wings and neck, we were able to give the figure the outline of a bird whose neck curve can be easily modified.

At first glance, the simple art of origami from triangular paper modules turns out to be a masterful embodiment of all kinds of shapes and silhouettes.

Combinations of different arrangements of modules relative to each other help create fairly realistic 3D figures. Pay attention to the dove figure from the modules:

To create this figure, I prepared a separate master class.

By the way, another popular Japanese figure in technology modular origami is a hare.

The diagram of the hare and the stages of completing the model are very reminiscent of assembling a vase:

The finished bunny can be supplemented with eyes and a muzzle cut out of paper.

The bird has been quite popular over the past few years. The image of these wise birds can be seen on clothing, in home decor and, of course, in handicrafts, owls are not absent. An owl made of paper using the origami technique has several different schemes execution.

For beginners and children the simplest owl step by step

Fold a square sheet of paper (12x12 cm in size) in half with the colored side inward.

We unfold it and bend it in half again, but with the other sides.

Without unfolding, bend it in half again.

Let's expand. We have a square divided into 8 rectangles. We place the workpiece with the colored side up so that the rectangles are lengthwise and bend the bottom line to the one marked in the center.

Unfold and bend the bottommost squares in half diagonally.

We turn it over and bend the bottom line to the first line parallel to it.

Carefully bend the right and left edges.

Turn it over and fold the bottom edge towards the corners.

Now on the top part we bend the corners to the center, as for an airplane.

Now we both open the central triangle and bend it to the side lines.

Now we bend the right and left sides of the base towards the center so that it slightly rests on the beak.

Now we turn the workpiece over to the rear and bend the legs. There are no clear boundaries here, bend approximately.


And we design the face - draw the eyes and add volume near them.


Such an owl will be an excellent decoration for any room or will complement a postcard, children's applique or other craft. You can also change the size of the original sheet and make a whole family of these wisest birds.

Volumetric origami paper owl

Fold a square sheet of paper in half diagonally.

Unfold and bend diagonally again, connecting another pair of corners.

Unfold and fold in half again.

We unfold it again, fold it in half, connecting the other sides, and make basic form"double diamond"

We bend the lower right part of the upper rhombus towards the center.

We do the same with the lower left part of the upper diamond. For convenience, you can rotate the product.

Carefully lift and slightly bend the triangle that appears at the top.

We unfold the triangles and hide them at the bottom of the triangle, which turned out to be in the center.

Carefully iron all the folds and lift the triangle up.

We turn the workpiece over and again bend the lower corners of the diamond towards the center.

We unfold it and again hide the corners under the intended triangle.

Don't forget to iron all folds well. We lower the previously raised triangle and bend the upper right and left parts of the rhombus towards the center.

Turn over and repeat the action.

Carefully unfold the workpiece as if from the inside on the right, pull out the triangle, turn it and form the future wing.
