The owl is a cunning bird of prey. Many people believe that if you make an origami owl yourself, this symbol will bring wisdom and good luck.
Before you start, you need to make a certain amount triangular modules. Enough to feed a large bird or owlet.
It is always better to use high-quality office paper A4.
Origami technique in modern world very popular. The essence of the work is that one module is nested within another. To do big craft or several small ones, you need to put together a lot of multi-colored elements.
The whole family can make an owl. Then present it as a gift for those who like to collect various items.
It can also be used as a decoration for a child's room. The craft can be made in black and white, but the colored one looks brighter and more interesting.
Smart bird diagram
To make an owl from paper, you need to take a sheet and cut rectangles to create triangular modules. The size of the modules can be made 9.28 cm of A4 sheet.
Materials:
For such a bird you will need 464 elements.
You can choose the color scheme to suit your taste. The parts will need to be fastened either with the short side outward or with the long side, and the wings will need to be positioned at the same height.
The assembly scheme is divided into several stages.
Stage 1.
Making a bird body:
Stage 2.
Owl ears:
Stage 3 - wing assembly:
- There is 1 blue element in the first row.
- In the second - 2 blue ones.
- In the third - 1 blue.
Stage 4- combine all triangular modules.
When attaching the wings to the body, add one blue element at a time.
The final touch is to glue the doll's eyes, and if desired, you can decorate with a ribbon. For reliability, you can use glue when inserting modules.
For a small bird, you need to make 228 triangular modules in advance of the same size as in the previous diagram. According to the scheme, making an owl from origami modules is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. And much easier to create modular origami“Owl” according to the assembly scheme together with relatives or friends.
Necessary prepare the following number of modules:
To make such an origami bird, you need to prepare a square sheet and scissors.
An owl made from origami modules will turn out perfectly if you carefully follow the step-by-step instructions.
From levels 1 to 9, a smaller number will mean that the part should be placed in pink, and a larger number indicates the need to use lilac.
Build process:
To create ears, you need to insert 12 rows of 3 pieces on each side into 8 modules.
In addition, you need to add 1 element to each ear.
All that remains is to make the bird's paws. At this stage you need to place 3 white elements. To create a tail you will need to insert 2 lilac modules. To assemble the wings, you need to place 3 lilac elements on each side.
This interesting activity is perfect for active children. Modular origami also develops creativity And fine motor skills hands
Before starting work, you need to prepare the modules. Any size and color can be made.
But the more layers are used to build a structure, the more magnificent it turns out.
It is not necessary to glue the entire craft, but the wings are. Eyes can also be made from paper.
If you want to create a few more owlets, you can schematically draw the entire sequence of assembly actions so you don’t forget. It is not recommended to use thin paper as it tears easily.
An origami owl is a nice gift to give to someone. And also a craft can become a decoration children's party. In addition, using this technique, you can conduct a lesson with children from 5 years old.
An origami craft - an owl - can be made in two ways. The first one is simple, using one piece of paper. The second one is more complex. The result will be an owl of modules. We invite you to familiarize yourself with these two methods.

The owl made using the origami technique is ready!
Making 3D modules for an owl
To do voluminous owl In the origami technique, you need to prepare blanks called modules.
How to assemble a module (master class):
- Take a small piece of paper.
- Fold the sheet in half lengthwise (Illustration 1).
- Fold the rectangle in half again (Image 2).
- Straighten your figure.
- Fold the right and left parts of the rectangle to the resulting fold line (Illustration 3).
- Turn the part over (Illustration 4).
- Trim off the bottom edges.
- Fold the edges as shown in illustration 5.
- Fold the shape in half (Illustration 6).
To create an owl using the modular origami technique, you need a lot of such blanks. You also need to consider what color your craft will be. Maybe you want to make it not monochromatic and highlight the muzzle and tummy.
Owl: modular origami
Any such craft begins by assembling the first row:
- Place the two modules in the same way as in picture 1. That is, they should touch sides.
- Place the third module on top of both sides (picture 2).
- Add another module down and put the fifth one on top (picture 3).
- Gradually, you can make two rows of the base of any origami craft (picture 4).
- When the row is completed, secure the first and last blanks with a module (picture 5).
- The next row is put on the modules of the second (picture 6).
- Then the craft is turned over and all subsequent modules are put on top (picture 7).
This is how the modular owl is assembled.
Example
Wherever your imagination and possibilities lead you, that’s how the owl will turn out. the assembly scheme of which can be very simple or, on the contrary, very complex, gives unlimited possibilities for creativity.
For example, you can make such a craft - an owl with ears, as in the picture above. To do this, take only two colors to create modules. When creating the first two rows, keep in mind that your craft will have a tummy highlighted. Therefore, first assemble several modules of color A, and then add color B. This way, completely connect a figure resembling an egg. On the sides at the top at the end, attach a couple of models that will represent ears. Cut out eyes from paper and glue them onto the finished craft.
Look at the picture below.
As you can see, you can make a more complex owl, which will have a separate body and head. First you need to make modules of different colors. For example, black, white, brown, orange and red. Then assemble the lower part of the owl - the body. Alternate modules by color. White is the belly, brown is the plumage, and orange is the edge of the wings.
When the body is ready, you need to assemble the head. Here you need to highlight the eyes with white and black modules, and make a beak out of three red ones. Then simply put the head on the body. All! The modular craft is ready!
You can also make a 3D owl with spread wings. But this is a more difficult job, since during assembly of the main part you need to make protrusions on the sides. They are then assembled from additional modules with wings.
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 in order to 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 assembly (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 owl is a very wise and intelligent animal. Many people collect figurines, souvenirs, and crafts of this animal, because they believe that it will bring prosperity, good luck and wisdom to their home. Today we invite you to make an owl (modular origami), which in the future can decorate your home or serve a good gift for any holiday or celebration. Since a handmade gift is valued much more than one bought in a store, please yourself or your loved ones with a wonderful craft in the shape of an owl.
To begin with, we suggest looking at what kinds of crafts this bird can make.
Smart owl:
Wise owl:
Baby owl:
Today we will make crafts for an ordinary owl and a baby owl. So let's get to work and move on to the assembly diagram of our beauty.
Beautiful owl
1) First, let's make modules for our craft, we you will need white and black modules.
2) For the first three rows we need 24 modules for each row. We will connect the first two rows using this method: we place two modules on the long sides, and one on the short side, while closing the chain of modules into a ring.
3) Place the third row of modules with the long side up.
4) Turn our workpiece over and lightly press on the middle to give it a bowl shape. We put on the next four rows of modules with the long side outward, for each row we take 24 black modules.
5) Now we begin to collect the owl’s breast. We take 21 black modules and 3 white modules, continue to put them on with the long side outward, so that the white modules are in the middle between the black ones.
6) Then we begin to add one white module in each row, and decrease one black module at a time. So we will collect five rows, as a result there will be 7 white modules in the twelfth row.
7) In the thirteenth row, take 8 white and 16 black modules and now put them on with the short side out.
8) And in the fourteenth row we will again put on the modules with the long side outward. To make a beak, we put a black module on 2 central white modules of the previous row, and on each side of it we put 4 white modules and finish the row with black modules.
9) For the fifteenth row, you need to put 8 white modules with the short side inward on the white modules of the previous row and the central black one.
10) We will assemble the sixteenth row like this: on 2 central white modules we will put 1 black module with the long side outward, and on each side 4 white ones, only with the short side outward. We will end the row with black modules, put on with the long side out. Then for the seventeenth row you need to put 2 black modules with the short side outward on the central black module and the white ones adjacent to it, and finish the row again with black modules with the long side outward.
11) We make the eighteenth row: on 2 central modules we put 1 black one with the long side out. On both sides of it we put on one black and 4 white modules with the short side out. And we will finish the row again with black modules, put on with the long side out. And then we begin to make ears for the bird, leaving 4 central modules free. To do this, we put on 6 black modules with the short side facing out.
13) Now we will make wings for our figurine. To do this, take 3 black and 2 white modules and insert them into each other at one corner in one pocket. So our right wing is ready. And the left wing is made symmetrically.
14) Now we need to insert wings into our bird. To do this, on the ninth row we glue one white module with two corners outward on both sides and insert the wings into them.
15) Eyes for an owl can be made from either paper or buttons, or you can buy blanks at a hardware store.
Easy master class
Now let's conduct a master class on making a baby owl.
1) For this beautiful baby we you will need 228 modules: 157 purple, 62 white, 7 orange and 2 black.
2) For the first row, take 13 purple and 5 white modules, place them with the short side out. We place white modules between the modules purple and close them in a ring.
3) For the second row, take 6 white and 12 purple modules, and also place them with the short side out.
4) For the third row, take 5 white and 13 purple modules, also with the short side out. After which we can turn out our craft.
5) In the fourth, fifth and sixth rows, the modules will be positioned with the long side outward. For the fourth row we will take 6 white and 12 purple modules, for the fifth ─ 5 white and 13 purple, and for the sixth ─ 6 white and 12 purple.
6) In the seventh row, take 5 white and 13 purple modules and place them with the short side out.
7) In the eighth row, place 2 white modules with the short side outward, and the remaining 4 white and 12 purple modules with the long side outward.
8) In the ninth row, place 1 orange module in the center, and on each side of it 2 white modules and 13 purple ones to the end of the row.
Important! Do not forget to place all modules with the long side facing out.
