How to make an origami snake?
For whatever you need to make a snake, I would like to note that the process is quite easy, and the figure is very exquisite. Many children and adults are also afraid of snakes, but not paper snakes! The craft can be made bright, then it will seem funny.
The paper can already be colored, or you can create a craft from white, and then decorate it as you wish. This article shows master classes - strictly follow them, and as a result you will get a snake that can be used for games.
Simple option
A simple option for creating a paper snake for beginners does not require a lot of time. The result will impress you. All you need is 2 sheets of colored paper (preferably different colors), we will fold the leaves several times. This scheme is suitable for both beginners and those who need a snake for playing games or decorating a children's shelf.
Let's list the stages of work.
- We take a leaf and fold it several times (you should get a long strip). For reference: you can fold the sheet in half, then again in half, and continue until a strip forms (look at the picture).
- We take the second sheet and do the same with it.
- There will be 2 strips in front of you - they need to be put on top of each other (look at Figure 7).
- We bend the strips into a square, the result is an accordion.
There is one more elementary option. Even preschoolers can cope with it on their own. We will make a snake out of green paper (you can choose another one if you wish). If you're making a reptile for a holiday, like a birthday, you can purchase glittery paper.
So, for work you will need:
- green A4 paper;
- inspiration.
It will be good if you also take a small piece of white paper and a black felt-tip pen to create the eyelet. All that is required of you is to look at the picture and repeat the manipulations depicted on it.
The snake is one of the most common origami that children love to collect. The simple layout was specially designed to make it easy for a child to fold.... This is a great way to have fun and usefully spend time with him. Perhaps he even wants to join the ancient art. A snake assembled according to this scheme will perfectly decorate a child's desk.
For reference: you can make a sting for the snake, for this you need to slightly cut the red strip along and bend one side, and then glue it to the muzzle. When the origami snake is assembled, cut out 2 small circles from white paper and draw eyes on them with a black felt-tip pen. We glue it on the face. The snake is ready! It turns out to be very effective - the child will be happy to play with it.
Creating a modular figure
There are a variety of ways to create a snake. Assembling a cobra with your own hands is a creative activity, it is definitely beneficial, but you should immediately warn that origami from modules takes some time... If you want to create a spectacular reptile, start by creating her head. Step by step instructions will help you with this.
To make a modular snake, you will need the following modules:
- 326 green;
- 223 yellow;
- 79 orange;
- 1 red;
- 1 light green.
The plus is that during the assembly you cannot make a mistake if you follow the master class. You can trace in detail how and which modules are added, which colors alternate. If you are not confident in your abilities, be sure to include the video.
Stages of work:
- we collect models from the picture, changing colors;
- starting from the first row, we alternate (outward with long sides);
- the next row should be collected with short sides out;
- we continue the alternation until the very end, that is, the tail.
In this scheme, the abdomen will turn out to be yellow, and the back will turn out to be green.
Useful Tips
If you are an inexperienced origamiist, it will be difficult at first for you to perfectly assemble origami.... But getting started is never easy, and it is important that the circuit is suitable for a beginner. Origami is a hobby that came to us from Japan, it perfectly develops fine motor skills and takes a long time. It is good because it does not require large material costs, the main thing is skillful hands, colored paper and a desire to create. The technique for its implementation is relatively simple, at the initial stages it is better to tackle light crafts. In short, if you have learned how to make a frog (one of the most famous crafts), then you can move on to something more difficult. Prepare all the necessary materials before starting work - so you do not have to be distracted by finding them.
It is generally believed that only colored paper is used for origami, but this is not entirely true. Magazine pages are fine too - so you even have a craft with a twist! But for modular origami, it is better to take blocks for records - their size is convenient for creating blocks. Children from 3-4 years old can collect origami, but the process should be supervised by an adult. People of all ages love to do origami: the process gives a good mood, calms the nerves, develops a creative streak. For crafts, you can use additional materials in the form of ribbons, rhinestones, nail polish and others. Model diagrams and video tutorials are easy to find on the Internet - origamists are happy to share them.
Typically, the diagrams indicate the degrees of difficulty: low, medium, high, which will immediately allow you to determine whether the job is right for you or not.
