How to fold origami in the shape of a crow?

The Japanese origami technique attracts many people by the fact that in accordance with it, you can create absolutely any figures and designs. So, you can model a very beautiful crow out of paper. The scheme for making such a craft can be both extremely simple and quite complex. In this article, we will learn how to fold origami in the form of a crow correctly.

You should get acquainted with the origami technique in stages. You do not need to immediately try to create very complex paper figures - you need to start with simpler and more accessible schemes. For example, a novice master can make a classic version of origami in the form of a crow with his own hands.

To simulate such a craft, you must definitely pick up a piece of square-shaped paper.

Consider how to correctly assemble a classic figurine of a crow from such a paper blank.

1. It is advisable to use black paper to create the figurine. First, the square must be placed on the table with one of the sides parallel to itself.
2. Next, the paper base will need to be folded in half. First, this is done longitudinally, and then diagonally. In this case, it is necessary to carefully smooth out the formed folds.
3. The base is deployed to its previous position. The product in the shape of a square will have lines that will divide it into 4 parts in the form of isosceles triangles.
4. Then the workpiece is turned over so that its tip is directed towards the master.... The product must be presented in the form of a diamond.
5. Takes parts to the right and left... You need to grab the corners of these parts, and then combine them in the center. Then the resulting bends must be ironed carefully, but very carefully.
6. The paper blank must have lines, which divide it into 8 rectangular triangular parts.
7. Now you can start modeling the black bird figurine directly. The edges on the right and left sides will need to be folded inward towards each other and along the axis, which was smoothed out in the 2nd stage.
8. The top of the triangle, which is on top, is lowered, and the top of the bottom, on the contrary, is raised. Then you need to connect all 4 tops of the workpiece together.
9. The resulting figurine should have a square structure. It must be positioned on the work surface so that the tip is directed towards the master.
10. The folds on the sides will need to be bent up with the base. The top of the rhombus, which is on the opposite side, must be laid towards you.
11. The product is turned over. It is necessary to divide the rhombus into 2 triangular parts. As a result, you should get a figurine in the form of an irregular rhombus.
12. The corner from the bottom needs to be bent upward by about 4 cm. It must be divided into 2 parts, each of which should be omitted. The sides will need to be smoothed out in turn and perpendicular to the axis in the center of the craft.
13. The two formed parts are blanks for crow's feet.... Now it is necessary to form these components. It is necessary to unfold first one, and then the second foot of the bird, giving them a diamond-shaped structure.
14. The original classic origami crow figurine is almost ready... Now it remains to prepare the bird's head. The figurine must be positioned with its paws down. The corner in the upper half is bent downward. The back fold should be ironed well so that it turns out to get the head between the two parts of the body. Now the craft is completely ready!

There is an extremely simple scheme for modeling a simplified figurine in the form of a crow. This scheme is perfect for children who are just starting to learn Japanese papermaking.

We will learn how to properly fold a simplified paper figure in the form of a black bird.

• You need to prepare a square piece of black paper. First, it is folded in half, guided by a diagonal line.
• The product will need to be positioned so that its right angle is below and on the right side.
• Now the upper corner will need to be gently bent towards the right.
• The workpiece of the future origami crow must be unfolded, and then turned over with its reverse side. The product is again folded back along the marked line.
• The corner of the structure must be tucked inward.
• The corner that is at the bottom of the workpiece must be lifted.
• Next, you need to make a fold, and direct the tail of the bird to the side.
• The product must be turned over at the next stage, after which it will be necessary to draw the eyes.

There are many other interesting schemes for modeling origami figures in the form of a crow. An origamist can craft a bird that opens its mouth. Let's find out how to make such a figure correctly.

1. You will need a square sheet of black paper. He should be won over to one of the sides.
2. Next, the square should be folded in half along the diagonal line. The left corner, located at the bottom, must be directed upward, as well as the bottom corner. As a result, you should get a triangular element.
3. The formed isosceles triangle must be expanded and fold in half again, but in the opposite direction.
4. Now the figure must be revealed. The half on the right side will need to be folded as neatly as possible, while superimposing the outer edge parallel to the leg. The same steps will need to be repeated on the left half of the workpiece. As a result, a structure should be formed, the outlines of which resemble a paper airplane.
5. Now the product must be deployed with its wings towards you. You will need to carefully bend the corners on the left and right. They should be directed towards each other. The folds are smoothed out. At the intersection of the corners, a small overlap should be formed.
6. The product must be returned to its triangular shape.... The corners, which were obtained at stage 5, should be bent inward one by one. This must be done in such a way that these corners are in the interval between the two halves of the main figure. After that, the workpiece will take on a boat-like shape.
7. The craft is placed parallel to the work surface. The top of the workpiece must be doubled. First, lower one side. The fold line must be smoothed parallel to the body. After this side is directed to the right and left. Each time, the top line should be parallel to the body.
8. Details that were obtained in stage 7, it is necessary to part in opposite directions. In this case, it is necessary to make deflections along the lines downward until the cupping is given. The bowls must be folded together so that they can be tilted to either side. The crow's head is ready.
9. Remaining double triangular elements - these are the wings of the talking Crow figurine. They need to be ironed in order to give the characteristic convex shape.
10. Next, the origamist needs to take up the paper wings of the future craft. They will need to be carefully pulled in different directions. Do not pull too hard to avoid damaging the fragile paper structure.
11. By pulling the wings, an imitation of the flight of a black bird will be created.... The result should be not only a croaking, but also a flying crow.

You can also make funny ravens out of paper. Let's take a step-by-step instruction on how to do this.

• A square piece of paper is folded diagonally in half.
• Pointed corners are laid to the apex of the formed triangle.
• The closed corner at the bottom is tucked up at the top of the structure.
• The corners that are located on the sides of the future origami figure must be very carefully tucked towards the central part.
• At the next stage, the existing workpiece will need to be turned over to the opposite side.
• Now the corner located on top and on the outer layer will need to be bent towards the bottom half of the product.
• The corners of the paper structure should be carefully trimmed with scissors to give the craft a more rounded shape.
• At the final stage, you should use felt-tip pens or markers. With their help, it will be necessary to draw the outlines of the bird's feathers. You can also depict the eyes of a funnel with a felt-tip pen. They can also be cut out of colored paper and glued to the base with a glue stick. A couple of dots should be drawn on the beak of the finished product.

The original craft is ready.
