How To Make Dragon With Paper (origami)

in Hive Diylast year

Hi guys! How are you all doing?

Paper creations is something every child loves a lot, and so do I. Right from when I was in my primary (basic or elementary) school days, I loved making paper kite which was and is still the most popular origami until Today.
origami is simply paper creations

During the Last days of October, I told my siblings that I could make a dragon out of carton. Since then, they have been pestering me to make one for them. I then told them that if they could bring me some carton or a carton box, I'll make it.

My younger brother then told me to make it with Paper. I thought to myself, 'paper is not strong enough but it would be possible with origami. I looked up the web for it. I found so many of them which up til now still confuses me because there are many ways to do it.

Finally, I found a video on YouTube which was simple enough to follow for me. It took me a lot of time on the video to be able to follow up the steps. I made a lot of it for them.

Stage 1:
Make a square from your paper if it's not a square already

Fold one vertex from the shorter edge to the longer edge.

Fold it up, press it down to form a triangle ana a rectangle as the excess.

Fold the rectangle (excess paper) to align with the edge making a triangle to from a crease
A creased is a line made from folding a paper

Using a scissors, carefully cutout the excess paper from the crease. Open the triangle. Viola...you have a square
This is the very first stage for making an origami dragon. If you are using a coloured paper, place the paper so that the design faces upwards.


Stage 2: Make the Dragon
Follow the video below to see the complete steps.
