3D Origami Swan 3



This is one of my works, considering that I have a very long radio, repeatedly assembled and disassembled until I got what I wanted from the beginning.I used about 1000 squares. Production is very long lasting.....

3D Origami Bear



Yeah yeah. My first origami teddy bear.
He's really cute, is not it? For its preparation it took me about 3 hours, in fact, to conclude, and for bending and cutting triangles about 2 days.

Used about 600 triangles. The ratio. 1 A4 paper, 16 triangles.

3D Origami Swan 2

This is my first concrete 3d origami project. I've done it for about two days, because as I said it is still first. It is a small origami swan. Picture quality is worse, however, and do not see how it actually looks.
To create the swan we need about 300 squares.
The following setup set something larger swan that I made...

Enjoy in my desing..

3D Origami Swan









--------------------------------------------------------





origami swan

This 3D origami swan was made with 400+ sheets of paper each folded into a small triangle. This type of paper folding is called Golden Venture Folding or Chinese Paper Folding.




Fold between 400 and 450 triangular units (instructions here). These can be made while watching TV, while sitting in the bus, or while having coffee/tea with a friend. In a classroom setting, 20 students can easily fold 20 units each to make a total of 400 units.

Note that there are 2 slits which are called "pockets". Units are connected by inserting the pointy parts into the pockets. There are 2 ways to position the triangular units.

Position A: the triangle rests on the short edges of the triangle with the pockets still visible.

Position B: triangle rests on the broad edge of the triangle: similar to a mountain; pockets are also visible.

Row 1: begin by arranging 30 - 35 triangular units in a row. These units will be Row 1 of the swan. The number of units you use will depend on the thickness of the paper used. In this example, 30 units were used.
Row 2: connect Row 1 into a ring by using "connector" triangular units. These connector units will become Row 2 of swan. To do this:
- place two Row 1 units side by side in position A;
- insert the points into the pockets of a connector unit (also in position A)
- this forms a cluster of 3 units

Continue in this manner:
- place the cluster made above beside another Row-1 unit;
- connect them together with another triangular unit;
- this forms a cluster of 5 pieces.

Repeat until all Row 1 units have been assembled. Connect the first and last pieces together to form a ring. At this point you would have used 30 units for Row 1 and 30 connector units which make up Row 2 of the origami swan.

Turn the ring over so it no longer looks like a cone: now it looks more like the bottom of a bowl.
Row 3: continue assembling the body of the 3D origami swan by adding more triangular units. Note that the triangular units are now added while in position B. Be sure to insert the points of two differentunits into one connector unit. Inter-locking the units in this manner will keep the 3D origami swan body together.

Rows 4 to 6: Continue adding more triangular units until you have completed Rows 4, 5, and 6.
Row 7: Add triangular units to form Row 7 as above. Remove 2 triangular units across from one another. Shown: the units at "12 oclock" and "6 oclock" have been removed.

Rows 8 - 20: continue to add more triangular units row after row. In each row, use one less triangular unit. The 3D origami swan will get more and more narrow forming two triangular wing sections. Row 20 will only have one triangular unit on each side: it is the tip of the swan's wing.


As you assemble, allow the pieces to curve naturally to form a bowl-like shape.

Head and Neck: connect approximately 30 triangular units in a linear manner. Position the units in position A and insert one unit into the pockets of a second unit. Allow the pieces to curve naturally. A question mark shape works well, but other neck shapes are fine.
Tail: simply connect 4 or 5 triangular units in mountain position (position B).
Depending on what the 3D origami swan will be used for, you may wish to add a drop of glue in each triangular unit of the neck. The neck is the most fragile part of the 3D origami swan so glue is good. Glue is not needed for the body and wings of the swan.

Optional: you can fold a black sheet of paper into a triangular unit and use this as the swan's bill (insert in position B). You can also embellish with googlie eyes.
