Swan( modular origami): a diagram and a master class for beginners
White swan in modular origami technique: master-class with step-by-step photo
For those who are familiar with the technique of working with modular origami, the work related to the collection of animal figures will be interesting. Scheme modular origami "Swan" is perfect for bird lovers. Before you begin to perform any figure in this technique, you need to figure out which modules are necessary, then cut out the desired shapes. For beginners, we will provide various schemes of swans. This bird - a symbol of sincerity and fidelity, probably therefore, many prefer to make it his figure in this technique.
Some information about the paper
In order to make modular origami, you need material such as paper. The following varieties can be used:
- Office paper is dense, medium-smooth. Ideal for assembling modules, it does not allow parts to slide when connected. There are different colors and shades, with the bend does not whiten.
- Stickers or blocks for records are also used in modular origami, especially when making petals for flowers. Most often use square stickers, but sometimes they come in rectangular, which do not need to be cut.
- Paper for children's creativity. Such paper is sold in sets, with a certain number of sheets of the same color, which is sometimes not very convenient, if you need many modules for a figurine.
- Paper from magazines. The original solution when creating figures will be their production from journal paper, if you use such paper, you can get quite original ornaments.
- Special paper for origami or "kami".The most convenient for modeling, since the sheets are already cut, you can select the size required for a particular craft. In this set of paper there are several colors of paper, one side of the sheet is usually white, and the other is colored. You can find a paper with an ornament or a color on both sides.

So, to start the work you will need triangular modules, how to make them you can learn by looking at the master class "double swan modular origami".In order to create a triangular layout, you need to cut a piece of paper into 4 equal parts, and then divide these pieces diagonally. In total, 458 white modules and one dark color for the beak will be needed.
The craftsmanship begins with the production of the first two rows, for this we take three modules, which are arranged like this:
1) The corners of the two modules are inserted into the pockets of the third one.
2) Next, two more modules are taken and just the same way they join
3) The next stage is joined by two more modules. The main thing is to act carefully, as the design is very fragile. So that it does not fall apart, we must collect three rows at once.
4) The module for convenience is located like this.
5) And the corners, as in the previous stages, are inserted into the pockets.
6) In this way, three series must be completed, each of which consists of 30 modules. After the ranks are ready, you need to close them in a circle.
7) Then, similarly to the third row, we put on the modules of the fourth and fifth rows of
8) The resulting skirt is pushed in the middle and the layout is turned out, so the saucer will turn out.
9) Next it is necessary to carefully fold the edges.

10) Having the modules in staggered order, we finish the 6th row of
11) The seventh row differs from the previous ones in that wings start to be added here, 12 modules are dressed for this, then the 2 corners are skipped and the remaining 12modules. On the missed place with two corners there will be a neck, and on a wider area - a tail.
12) Next in the next row, reduce the number of modules to 11 pieces, and so each row, until there is only 1 module left. In the course of the formation of the wings, we bend them into the desired shape.
13) The tail is made according to the reduction principle for one module in a row.
14) Finally, the neck and head of the swan were left. For their manufacture it is necessary to stock up 19 white and 1 red module. The neck is assembled as follows:
15) Insert the corners of one into the pockets of the second.
16) The other parts are assembled in exactly the same way.
17) And it remained to add two more corners. Here's the wedding swan and ready.
But if you add different colors to the assembly, you will get an excellent rainbow swan, which will lift everyone's spirits. It's good to see the video lessons presented here.
