How to fold origami in the shape of a ladybug?
The origami technique makes it possible to make interesting and beautiful paper crafts with your own hands. There are many different ideas for creating such products. Today we will talk about how to make an origami ladybug yourself.
What is necessary?
Before starting work, you should prepare all the necessary materials for this:
-
single-sided paper (one side is red and the other is white);
-
black paper;
-
eyes are sticky;
-
adhesive composition;
-
felt-tip pen in black.
Simple option
First, we will look at the simplest option for creating a paper craft. It will include several stages.
-
A square base is cut out of single-sided paper. The size can be anything. The product is placed with the colored part on top.
-
The material is carefully folded in half. In this case, opposite corners are connected.
-
After that, the material is folded in half again, connecting the other two corners.
-
Then the paper is opened, and cross folds should form on the paper.
-
The square is turned over with a sharp corner upward, the upper corner is folded down.
-
The same corner is raised slightly upward, slightly aligning it horizontally along the fold.
-
The corner is folded down again.
-
Next, the workpiece is turned over with the white side up.
-
Later, the side on the right is folded over, it should also be aligned at the bottom edge.
-
The left side of the workpiece is folded in the same way.
-
After that, you will need to roll up small corners on both sides and below.
-
Then the paper is turned over again with the colored side up.
-
At the end of the ladybug, eyes are glued, even circles of the same size are cut out of black paper, they also need to be attached to the product.
Separately, draw a nose with a black felt-tip pen. Such a simple scheme can be perfect for children.
There is another easy option for making this craft.
-
A blank is cut out of red paper; it should have a square shape.
-
The resulting base is folded along diagonal lines. Then, along this line, the material is cut into two triangles. From each such figure, you can make a ladybug.
-
The corners on both the left and right are folded up.
-
Then they fold back. This will form the basis for the insect's wings.
-
A muzzle will form from the top. To do this, you will need to bend the corner down.
-
After that, he bends back and bends again.
-
Then they begin to bend it down, while it is slightly tucked into the inside.
-
Later, the workpiece is carefully bent along the sides, forming the body of the insect. In this case, both parts must be symmetrical.
-
At the final stage, a black marker is taken. With its help, draw a muzzle and dots on the wings.
You should also glue small plastic eyes on the face.
How to make modular origami?
Now we will analyze how to make such an original craft from paper modules step by step.
-
First, you need to make the modules themselves. You will need 75 black and 96 red elements in total. At the same time, it will be most convenient to use special dummy scissors for cutting the material. They will allow you to take several sheets at the same time.

-
For the second row 7 parts are already in use. The first and second workpieces will need to be connected together.
-
Third row must be formed from 8 modules of black color. For the fourth row, 9 black blanks are already taken.
-
To do fifth strip 4 red, 2 black modules are taken, then it all ends with 4 more red modules.
