Different Forms of Origami Art
Hi! Here are several things you can make using the origami method of craft!
1. Fortune Teller: Start by folding the paper in half both ways. Then fold the 4 corners in towards the center of the paper. Flip it over and fold all of the corners to the middle again.
Write 8 fortunes on the inside of each corner. Open the corners on the side where they look like triangles. Each corner will have 2 fortunes.
On the side where the corners form little squares, write 4 different things from the same category. For example, if you pick colors, write “red,” “blue,” “green,” and “yellow.” You could also use animals, seasons, types of shoes, etc.
To operate the fortune teller, pinch underneath the corner flaps with your index fingers and thumbs. As you open and close your hands, so will the fortune teller.
2. Water bomb: This base is used in a lot of intermediate and advanced origami designs, so it’s a good one to master. Once you make the base, do a few more folds and then inflate the balloon to form its shape.
You can also fill the balloon with water.
To make a waterbomb base, crease a square piece of paper along both diagonals and then in half, unfolding in between each new fold. Bring 2 opposite edges together so that the paper collapses into a triangle.
If the paper doesn’t collapse easily, you may need to re-crease the folds.
3. Folding Star: One of the most common shapes for beginners, the star looks a lot more difficult to make than it is. Cut a piece of paper in half, then fold the 2 pieces separately before taping them together to form the star shape.
Attach your star to a stick and place it outside, like in a garden, to watch the wind spin it around like a pinwheel.
You can also use a star as a festive topper for a present.
4. Plane: Meet the more advanced, cooler version of the paper airplane. Fold a standard airplane shape, or mix it up with a jet or hang glider.
Once you’ve folded your plane, it’s time for take-off! Throw it in the air just like you would throw a football and watch it soar.
Host an origami airplane contest with your friends. See who can make the plane that will fly the farthest.
There’s a lot more you can make with origami, but these are just a couple of options! If you find any difficulty, you can always look up a few beginner video tutorials & you’ll be good to go! Hope this answer helps!
