Origami sun creation options

There are many different ideas for creating DIY paper crafts. Such products made using the origami technique look interesting. Today we will talk about how you can make an origami sun-shaped craft.

To begin with, we will consider the simplest option for creating such a decorative product with our own hands.

• It is necessary to prepare 8 identical square paper blanks measuring 9x9 centimeters.

• After that, all the resulting squares are folded in the center in the vertical direction. The sides of the products are folded to the middle of the vertical.

• The lower sides are bent, the triangle on the left returns to its original place. This will have to be done with all the blanks.

• The place where the triangle is bent is coated with glue. The first finished ray is glued to the second.

• Then a circle with a diameter of 8 centimeters is cut out of a sheet of paper. It is glued to the center of the craft.

• The product is turned over to the other side. After that, a second circle is cut out of white paper and glued to the middle. Next, using markers, you can draw the eyes, nose and mouth. And you can also decorate the finished sun with decorative details.

There is another simple option that is perfect for children and beginners.

• Square-shaped blanks are cut from sheets of colored paper. They can be of any size, everything will depend on what dimensions the finished craft will have to have. They are folded along the diagonal line and then turned back. You can use special origami paper, and crepe and corrugated materials are also great options.

• The corners are bent to the middle of the product... The result is a new colored square.

• Such a square will need to round off the corners, further, their tops are folded back so that they become visible from the other side. These details will become small rays.

• Further, more rays are added to the sun. Large corners turn away from the center of the workpiece.

• So that the craft can be stable and not straighten, you will need to fix the rays with glue.

• The product is turned over to the other side... After that, with pencils or markers, they form a "muzzle" in the sun, for this they draw a mouth, nose and eyes. All these elements can be cut out of black and white paper and also glued to the finished craft.

Now we will look at a more complex step-by-step scheme for creating such a craft from paper modules.

• First you need to prepare paper in orange, red and yellow colors. Individual modules will be cut from them.

• To make blanks, you need to fold the paper sheet in half, you will also need to outline the fold line, after which the material is unbent back.

• The corners are bent towards the center.

• It all flips over to the other side. The free ends are folded neatly upward. Then the product is turned over again.

• The edges are bent, the corners are unbent.

• The edges are folded up, and the corners are hidden at the bottom.

• The workpiece is folded in half; as a result, a module should be obtained.

• To make a big sun, you need 700-800 of these parts.

• Further, the sun's rays begin to form from the finished elements, you will need to make 5 such products. In this case, the first rows are folded from orange modules, the main part is assembled from yellow parts. For the top, red elements are used.

• When all the beams are ready, they are neatly connected together by inserting the modules from the side into each other.

• At the final stage, the central part of the sun is made. You can use white paper for this. A round blank is cut out of the material and glued to the middle of the craft. If desired, it will be possible to separately draw the eyes, nose and mouth with a marker.

This modular craft can be done in another way.

• First you need to prepare small square blanks of different colors (red, orange, yellow).

• After that, all these squares are neatly folded in half in two directions. Then the products are unbent back.

• The corners are folded towards the middle in such a way that the result is a basic "pancake" shape.

• Next, two adjacent parts are folded towards the center, as in the basic kite shape.

• The paper blank is turned over to the opposite side. The upper corner is folded down.

• The paper product is neatly folded in a "mountain".

• It will be necessary to make several of these multi-colored modules.

• When all the details are ready, the sun begins to form. The corners of one element are inserted into the pockets of another. All this is done until the circle is closed.

There are many other options for creating such an interesting paper craft.

• You need to prepare 4 sheets of paper, two yellow and two pink.

• Then each such sheet is folded in the form of an accordion. Moreover, their edges are cut off at an angle of 45 degrees.

• The resulting blanks are connected. A circle cut from cardboard is attached to the central part. This option can be perfect for children 4-5 years old, for beginners. Making such a craft will take very little time.

Consider another option for making an origami sun.

• First you need to prepare one-sided paper, while one side of it should be yellow or orange, and the other white. But you can also use plain colored paper.

• 4 identical square-shaped blanks are cut from the paper base.

• After that, the first square is taken, it is bent along diagonal stripes. Then the workpiece is unbent back. One corner is taken and bent to the place of the fold, that is, to the center.

• Then the opposite corner is bent to the place of the main fold. As a result, you should get a shape similar to an irregular rhombus.

• Next, you will again need to bend the part along the main bend.

• Later, the element in the center is bent. After that, all the steps taken are repeated with all the other paper blanks.

• It is recommended to use glue so that the parts can be fixed securely. All received elements are fixed together. Moreover, the material will have to be overlapped.

Let's analyze another detailed step-by-step instruction for making such a craft.

• To make the finished product look more interesting, you can use paper of different bright colors. Squares are cut out of the material. Each of them folds down the center.

• After that, the workpiece is turned back. The upper corners are bent to the middle of the bend. The same actions are done with the lower part.

• The left and right corners at the bottom are bent again, as a result, a rhombus should be obtained.

• The workpiece is turned over and placed like a tie.

• The end of such a tie is folded over. Later, the entire product is folded to the other side, like a book.

• Then the made triangles begin to alternately insert into each other until a circle is formed.
