I highly recommend looking at the pictures first, it's easier to learn from the images than to only read the directions. I'm used to creasing and ripping them, but scissors are far more accurate and probably won't result in torn-off pieces. Scissors - You can cut the paper with scissors if you'd like. Glue/Mod Podge - Though this style of origami doesn't require any glue whatsoever, glue helps keep weaker structures together (like the neck), as well as glossier papers (like magazine covers). If it's too thin, it will rip easily.įor this Instructable, I'll be using regular white computer paper, with colored paper to accent certain areas. Another concern is thickness if your paper is too thick, it won't stay together. Matte paper, like computer paper, tends to stay together well. If you're using glossy paper, I'd recommend using some kind of adhesive, like glue. Generally speaking, glossy paper (like magazine pages) will tend to slip more and won't necessarily stay together. The biggest concern is the texture and thickness of your paper. You can use anything from pages of a magazine, notebook paper, useless flyers, etc. Paper! (A4 size, 7 or so sheets for this 'ible)
It's not hard to make, is essentially free, and will surely impress! It is very pretty and certainly an eye-catcher. The design I am going to show you is an adapted version of a modular swan that I created myself.
I've been making modular origami sculptures for three years now. Depending on how many pieces you need or how big the sculpture is, it can take anywhere from one hour to more than a week! The reason it can stay together is because of the ingenious structural components.īut bear in mind this kind of origami is very time consuming! Don't expect to finish a sculpture in 30 minutes or so. Each sculpture consists of dozens and dozens of triangular-shaped pieces, but from afar it seems to be one rippling structure. This form of origami is absolutely stunning. Today, around 30 people from the Golden Venture are living in the US. The pieces they created, specifically birds, are known as "Freedom Birds".
In prison, these immigrants created beautiful and elegant sculptures using everything from magazine pages to toilet paper. Many of the immigrants sought to soothe their troubles through creative expression. Unfortunately for them, they were quickly caught and brought to jail to be detained and later deported. Each of these Chinese immigrants (about 300 in total) had paid $5,000 and promised an additional $30,000 to be brought to America. It became popularized in the 1990s, when illegal Chinese immigrants aboard a ship called "The Golden Venture" tried to smuggle into America cleanly and quietly. 3D Modular Origami/Block Folding/Golden Venture Origami/Chinese Paperfolding is a branch of origami where the piece is not made out of one singular piece of paper, but made with many pieces, each folded the same way.
