Making origami for dad

But from what can you make such a pleasant surprise with your own hands? There can be a whole sea of ways to create, for example, origami.
Creation of shirts and suits
Origami in the form of shirts and a suit will be the most ideal and versatile option. These are the most common clothing options for a man, most likely, it is your father who wears them very often, so it will be doubly pleasant to receive such an original gift. You can create a craft in literally 10 minutes, although it will bring a lot of joyful and pleasant emotions.
For such origami, it is best to use scrapbooking paper rather than ordinary colored paper, since it can imitate a print on a shirt, which will make it more realistic.
- To create a shirt, you need to fold a sheet of paper along, and iron the fold line.
- After that, open the resulting part, and fold the opened sides to the center of the sheet. Thus, you will get a kind of package or envelope.
- Bend the upper corners from the resulting flaps. In the future, they will serve as shirt sleeves. They should be bent at the same angle so that they are symmetrical to each other.
- Rotate the sheet so that the corners are now at the bottom. Turn the workpiece over to the back side, and bend the top edge in the form of a strip.
- Turn the piece over again, and bend the corners towards the center. This is how you made the collar of the shirt.
- Fold the blank in half so the collar and sleeves are side by side.
- Now you have a wonderful paper craft that also serves as a postcard.
You can creatively design a signature and give it to your loved one.
A suit is considered an equally popular element of men's wardrobe. This is an elegant set that makes its owner more solid and serious. Presenting origami as a costume would be a great idea, especially if your dad wears it regularly.
- Place a sheet of black paper in front of you, with the inside facing up. It should be borne in mind that it must be one-sided, since the white part will imitate a shirt.
- Bend the thin strip inward and fold the piece in half. Iron all fold lines carefully.
- Unfold the workpiece and fold the edges of the sheet towards the center. You should have a kind of "window with shutters".
- Bend the inner corners at the same angle. This will be the collar and shirt.
- Flip the part over to the other side. Bend the edges of the craft inward.
- Fold the part in half, and make a clip on the fold line. Which resembles a fold on the bags.
- Iron all fold lines.
- You now have the first part of the craft, but you need pants for a full suit.
- Fold the sheet in the shape of the window you already know.
- Cut the part in the middle. The cut should not be longer than a third of the sheet.
- Fold up the top. Assemble the finished parts together.
You have your daddy's first ready-made present. It can be safely presented on a birthday or any other day. It is very important to put love in what you do.
