Origami Wedding Dress

Day 62 - Origami Wedding Dress



This week I am trying out Origami dress.Starting with origami Wedding dress.You need a white square sheet of paper for this.It's a nice and cute little dress.

I found the last fold a bit tough as the folds are almost done and the belt part where you need to fold it would be thick due to step fold so the last fold doesnot come crisp if you are using small paper ( in my case the paper is 3*3 inch).

You get the diagram and animation at origami-club.

Origami Scorpion

Day 60 - Origami Scorpion



This is a simple origami scorpion design and has cutting towards the end to get the legs of the scorpio.Thus its not pure origami rather kirigami.

It starts with origami bird base.Though the scorpio doesnt look so cool but its not that bad.I suggest to use both side same coloured paper coz the cuts may expose the other side.

Start with origami bird base.Fold to the sides and pull the flap down.






Step 2:-
Pocket fold the top two flaps along the blue line.







Step 3:-
Pocket fold along the blue lines to get the claws





Step 4:-
Fold backwards along the blue line to slim it on both flaps









Step 5:-
Step fold the upper flap along the blue lines







Step 6:-
Cut the lower flap along the blue lines



Fold them up to get the legs of the scorpio
