Origami owl: a simple and modular schooltip scheme and a step-by-step master class with video instruction

Owl since ancient times is considered a symbol of wisdom, but with fear and death. Due to the fact that she can turn her head without moving from the spot, she is the companion of the Greek goddess Athena, the goddess of military strategy and wisdom. However, the night owl's way of life, eerie cries and glowing eyes led to the fact that many cultures saw it as the embodiment of death, darkness and witchcraft. They also associated the owl with the gift of prophecy because of its ability to see in the dark. Now she is a symbol of erudition and insight. This bird is also popular in needlework, it is also often found. In origami, the scheme of the owl varies depending on the level - you can find any, both for the beginner and for the professional.

Step-by-step master class Smart

This is a bird in the technique of classic origami. To fold it, take a square sheet of paper. In the finished product, both sides of the sheet are visible, so it will look especially good if you take a colored paper with sides of contrasting colors.

If you have a question at some point about what to do next, how does the origami owl form, video instruction will be your faithful assistant. Look for it at the end of the article.

First of all, make diagonal folds on a square sheet and turn it over.

Bend the corners of the worksheet to the center.

The upper corner is bent upwards in this way.

Repeat the same steps in the opposite direction.

The sides of the square are bent parallel to the center, unfolding them.

Bend the top of the workpiece so that the fold line passes through the intersection points.

On the lateral triangles we bend the tops, which will later become the wings of the owl.

We turn. We bend the side.

Straighten the triangles on both sides at the top.

Folds must exactly converge at the center of our workpiece. We form the eye of the owl in this way:

With the finger holding the center of the workpiece, and the lower part is unfolded on one side.

The resulting diagonal fold is ironed.

Do this for the other side. We turn the wings of the owl along a line that runs perpendicular to the central one.

We turn the owl with our back to us. From the middle of the bottom line of the workpiece, bend to the center of one of the sides.

Smooth, do it symmetrically on the other side.

Turn over again. The upper corner is bent like this.

Turning the tip under the lower part of the "eye", form the beak of an owl.

Let's increase the eye's eye, maximally unfolding the triangles and turning their edges away.

We smooth the paper.

That's how it will look like an owl after that.

On the diagonal fold, place the left part on the right side of the workpiece.

Fix an owl. A small triangle under the wing bends down. He will become a paw.

We unfold the tail of the owl as in the picture.

The foot should be on top. We repeat from the other side.

Turn the owl with your back to the top, unfold the wings. Push the finger on the small triangle in the base, smooth it in this position.

Let's do our ears. To do this, you need to straighten the upper triangle and turn the narrow strips inward.

It should look like this.

The corner of the eye is turned inwards.

Let's do it from the other side.

To make the wings look neater, bend the paper.

Form the ears, first bending back and ironing, then returning to the original state and making another fold close to the previous one.

We give the product volume, slightly bending on the back.

You can sit her on a twig or perch. Here is a clever owl made of paper, master class and video, we hope you were useful.
