Assembling origami in the form of an owl

In the well-known origami technique, you can make a variety of figures. Paper owls are very beautiful and original. There are many ways to do this. In today's article, we will learn about all the features of assembling origami in the form of a cute owl.

You can make beautiful and unusual crafts using the origami technique in various ways. First of all, you should prepare all the necessary materials and tools for the successful implementation of creative work.

Let's find out what exactly is required to create a beautiful and neat origami owl figurine.

• It is very important to prepare the right paper for the job. On sale you can find special paper sheets created for the origami technique. Such accessories can be found in stationery stores and retail outlets, where everything for creativity is sold.
• Suitable for modeling beautiful figures and plain paper of sufficient weight.
• There are many techniques for folding figurines.... If it is planned to make an owl "wet folding", then you will need a denser material, pre-processed in an adhesive composition. It is also allowed to use corrugated paper, since it is characterized by the ability to remarkably hold the desired shape, making it easier to work with small parts.
• You will need high-quality stationery glue... In conventional technology, it is far from always used, however, in modeling more complex structures, for example, modular, it will not be possible to do without it.
• To model an owl figurine, you will also need prepare a cutter or thin and very sharp scissors.

It is recommended to start acquaintance with the popular origami technique with simpler assembly schemes. Easy instructions are suitable even for young children. Having mastered them, you can proceed to modeling more complex and intricate paper structures.

There are many schemes available for creating cute origami in the form of an owl from paper. Let's look at one of the instructions step by step.

• First, the master will need to prepare a square piece of paper. It is advisable to pick up double-sided material. The color of the paper can be absolutely any - each master himself chooses the shade he likes.
• The piece of paper will need to be neatly folded in half. To do this, you need to connect the corners on opposite sides. Through such actions, it will turn out to indicate the middle.
• Now you need to bend the lower sides that are on the sides. In this case, they should be aligned in the center. First, do this with the right, and then with the left.
• After that, you need to pull the corner located on top, and then direct it downward, while smoothing the bend.
• Next, you should return the upper corner to its previous position. On the fold on the left and right, you will need to make small cuts.
• After this step, the small corners are bent downwards.
• Now the corner at the top will need to be directed downward again. As a result, the head of the origami "Owl" will be formed.
• The corner located at the bottom should be carefully trimmed, and then a small fold should be formed by bending the legs of the paper figure. The main part of the work on this will be completed.
• After that, it remains only to glue a small triangular piece - the beak of the owl. You will also need to carefully attach the eyes to the paper blank.

There is another easy and understandable scheme for novice masters. In order to model a beautiful craft with your own hands, you will need to prepare a piece of one-sided colored paper of any shade you like. Any size of paper material will work.

Let's consider step by step how to make an attractive neat figurine of a wise bird.

• At the first stage, the square will need to be folded in half. In this case, the white side of the paper should be on the inside of the blank.
• Then the paper part must be opened. You will need to fold the right side so that it is parallel to the fold. In this case, there is no need to do alignment on it - you should leave a small gap.
• At the next stage, you will need to bend the left side of the workpiece in the same way.
• The corner located on top will need to be bent downwards, and then up again.
• All formed folds will need to be smoothed out.
• Now we need to go back to the top corner. This element will need to be folded down again.
• The part should be turned over to the opposite side. The part located at the bottom is directed upward, reaching the corners of the upper edge.
• At the next stage, the corner is immediately lowered down, forming a small fold in the lower part.
• Now they turn the paper part over, stick charming eyes on it. The result is a simple but very cute owl.

Let's get acquainted with another interesting technique for making a simple figurine in the form of an "Owl".

• For modeling, you will need a one-sided square of colored paper.
• The paper component is folded in half by joining opposite corners.
• The upward angle is bent downward. The paper is then folded down again in this area.
• The next step is to bend down the second upper corner. The tip should reach the top half of the folded paper.
• The workpiece is turned over to the other side, after which the right corner is folded to the left, and then immediately to the right, while forming a small fold.
• The steps are repeated on the left side of the workpiece. After that, the wings of the paper figurine will be formed.
• At the next stage, the paper blank will need to be turned over so that it is directed to the master by the other side.
• After that, you can proceed to a more detailed design of the original craft. To do this, you need to carefully glue the eyes and a triangular element to it, which will play the role of an owl's beak. After that, the original and uncomplicated origami figurine will be ready!

Making modular origami figurines is more difficult. If everything is done carefully and correctly, the result is truly spectacular and original crafts. Almost any beautiful figurines can be made from triangular modules, including an elegant owl.

To assemble an original modular owl from paper parts, you will need the following components:

• 228 modules (their color can be selected according to your taste);
• in the total number of modules, 157 pieces should have one color, for example, purple;
• you need 62 white modules;
• 7 orange;
• 2 black.

It is advisable to prepare these components in advance, after which you can proceed directly to the assembly of a volumetric paper figure using the origami technique. Consider a detailed master class.

• First row the future large figurine of an owl will need to be assembled from 5 snow-white and 13 purple modular components. The second row needs to be constructed from 6 white and 12 purple elements. In the case of this row, the modules will need to be fixed so that their short sides point outward.
• Third row must be collected from 5 white and 13 purple modules. Here, the short sides should also "face" outward. After that, the craft will turn out.
• Next, collect 4, 5 and 6 paper rows... After the structure is turned inside out, the modular components will be positioned with their long sides outward. Each of the rows will have 18 modules.
• 7th row the future volumetric owl should be assembled from 18 modular components of white and purple colors. All components must be fixed with the short side out.
• 8th row structures should be formed from 6 white and 12 purple modular elements. They must be placed with the long side out.
• 9th row assembled from modules arranged in one chain. Their long side should face outward. In the central part of the structure, 1 orange modular component is fixed, and on the sides of it - a pair of white elements and 13 purple elements to the very end of the row.
• Then you can go to the assembly 10th row. It will need to be carefully made from a pair of white components in the center, 1 black, 1 white, 12 purple and another pair of black and white modules. After that, collect the 11th row.
• For design 12 rows it will take 8 purple modules. They should be located in the central part.
• 13th row - these are the ears of the future volumetric owl. For 8 modules of the previous row, you must put on 3 components on each side. In the 14th row of the structure, one modular element is attached to each eyelet.
• Now, at the bottom of the craft, you will need to form small paper paws. To collect them, you need to take 3 orange paper components each. For the tail of the craft, you will need to make 2 purple modules.
• Next, the wings of the original craft are collected... For this, 3 purple modules are installed on the side parts. They can be fixed using an adhesive solution.

A beautiful voluminous owl from a variety of paper modules is ready!
