Modules for origami own hands

Origami - the art of folding all kinds of figures from sheets of paper, today is very popular throughout the world. Those who possess the technique of origami masters are able to turn the simplest sheet of paper into an elegant crane or a pretty dragon. Modular origami - a separate direction, which allows you to create three-dimensional shapes from small modules. It is necessary to make triangular paper modules.

Make a module for origami yourself, very simple. It takes paper and a little patience.

Necessary materials:

• White or colored paper;
• Scissors or clerical knife.

Note: the modules can be folded using both conventional coated sheets and one- and two-sided colored paper. For origami, it is better to use a stronger paper so that it does not tear during the folding of the elements and assembly of the entire structure.

Modules for origami - step by step instruction

Note: rectangular blanks of the same size are obtained by folding a sheet of A4 paper. To make large modules, the long and short sides of a landscape sheet are divided into four equal parts. By folding the sheet along the longitudinal and transverse lines, we obtain 16 equal rectangles measuring 53 x 74 mm. We can only cut them along the outlined contours into separate elements.

1. The rectangular workpiece is folded along the long side in half. The number of necessary sheets depends on the complexity of the craft and the size of the modules from which it is made. For the creation of small modules, rectangular sections measuring 37 x 53 mm are used, and large pieces are 53 x 74 mm in size. In both cases, the sides of the rectangle will have a ratio of 1: 1.5. (two schemes: 16 and 32 modules) As a result, we get 32 ​​identical blanks measuring 37 x 53 mm.
   
   
2. The part folded in half is bent along the short side, marking for itself the line of the middle of the workpiece.

3. We unfold the workpiece, placing it in the second fold (mountain) towards us.

4. The edges of the folded along the long side of the rectangle are bent to the middle, forming a triangle.

5. We turn the folded triangle, and bend the lower edges of the part to the "reverse" side.

6. The outward protruding corners of the workpiece are turned away and folded again, but not folded by a triangle, but bent at the front of the part.

7. The resulting triangle is folded in half.

The finished module has two pockets and two photo angles.

By inserting the corners of some modules into the pockets of others, we can create voluminous paper crafts of all shapes and sizes.
