Epigraph

“I’ve been looking at you with loving eyes for a long time
To the ancient art of origami.
There is no need for wizards and magicians here,
There is nothing special here,
Do you need to take a piece of paper?
And try to put something together!”
(Kiseleva N.D.) Origami (Japanese - folded paper) is a type of decorative and applied art; ancient art of folding
paper figures. The art of origami has its roots
goes back to Ancient China, where paper was invented.
But for the most part this art developed in Japan.
Classic origami prescribes the use
one sheet of paper without using glue or scissors.
There is a certain set of conventional signs,
necessary to draw a diagram
folding even the most complex product. Bigger
Some conventional signs were put into practice in
mid-20th century by the famous Japanese master Akira
Yoshizawa.

1. “Triangle” shape

1. Arrange the square in a diamond shape.
Raise the bottom corner, aligning
it with the top corner.
2. The resulting workpiece has the shape
isosceles rectangular
triangle.
When folding the figures, the basic
triangle shape can
positioned differently. Habitual
position - when the bottom side
the largest, that is, the base
isosceles triangle.
A triangle can also be
located at a right angle downwards. This
not quite the usual position gave
another name for this basic form is
"kerchief"

2. Kite form

1. Place the square
"diamond". Bend it over
diagonals.
2. Lower the top sides from
vertices of the upper corner to the line
inflection.
3. The basic shape is really
resembles a kite. But
these days she has acquired and
other name -
"ice cream". Turn
basic right angle shape
up and you will see the "sugar
straw."

3. Door shape

1. Fold the square
combining opposites
sides.
2. Lower the sides to the line
inflection.
3. The basic shape is similar to
elevator doors or
double door wardrobe,
that's why they call her
"door" (preferred)
or "closet".

4. Pancake shape

1. Fold the square in half along
diagonals, marking the center
square at the intersection
bend lines.
2. Lower all corners one by one
to the center of the square.
3. Basic pancake shape
has a square shape and
doesn't look round at all
damn, but rather reminiscent
envelope (letter).

5. “Double House” form

1. Place the square
"window". Bend a square
in half, combining
opposite sides.
2. Fold the rectangle
in half, combining short
sides.
3. Fold the side parts,
lowering the short sides to
inflection lines.
4. Unfold and flatten
"pocket".
5. Open and flatten the second
"pocket".
6. The basic form consists of two
houses.

6. Double triangle shape

"Double Triangle" is not the only name for this basic shape.
Another name - “water bomb” - comes from the figure from this
basic form. The basic "double triangle" shape has two visible
triangular planes. A closed (“blind”) corner has formed in the center
original square.
1. Fold the square diagonally.
Turn it over.
2. Fold in half, matching
top and bottom sides.
3. Press down on the center of the square.
Concave the side triangles,
folding them in half. Wherein
the top of the square will bend to
the other side.
4. Flip through the figure, changing
corners in places.
5. Basic form "double"
triangle".

7. Double Square Shape

This basic form has two visible
square planes, non-opening (“blind”)
the angle formed at the center of the initial shape
(square), and a drop-down corner located
opposite “deaf” and formed by angles
square.
1. Fold the square twice
in half, combining
opposite sides.
Turn it over.
2. Fold along diagonals.
3. Bend the side squares,
folding them in half and
lowering the top down from
myself.
4. Basic form "double"
square".

8. Fish shape

Basic shape folds
based on basic form
"kite".
1. Flip the base shape
"kite".
2. Bend, matching the vertices
lower and upper corners.
Turn.
3. Pull out the pocket corner
up.
4. Extend the corner of the other
"pocket".

Fish shape (continued)

1. The resulting workpiece -
short version of the basic
fish shapes -
turns into a long one
option. Pick one up
bottom corner.
2. Turn over.
3. Basic fish shape.

9. “Catamaran” shape

1. Fold the basic shape
"door". Turn it over.
2. Bend the piece in half.
3. Fold the bottom over.
4. Open the “pockets” and
flatten them by combining
top sides
sides raised
from the middle, and pulling
bottom corners to the sides.

Form "Catamaran" (continued)

1. It turns out to be a boat.
Turn it over.
2. Fold, combining
bottom and top sides.
3. Open your “pockets”
getting a second boat.
4. Basic form in the form
double boat -
"catamaran".

10.Bird shape

The basic "bird" shape is folded on the base
basic “double square” shape.
1. Bend the sides away from
drop-down angle to
inflection lines.
2. Bend the “blind” corner.
3. Unbend the corners.
4. Lift up the bottom
part, capturing one layer
paper and holding
"blind" corner.
5. In this case, the side parts
will be in the center.

Bird Shape (continued)

1. Half of the basic form
The "bird" is ready. Turn it over.
2. Bend the “blind” and side
corners.
3. Open the “pocket” by pulling
bottom up.
4. The basic bird shape has
“blind” corner, two wing corners and
two corner legs. Basic form
got this name because
from it you can add various
bird models.
The basic bird shape has two
types: long and short.
The short version is obtained if
lower the upper wing corners.

Good luck in your creativity!

The basic forms of origami are the basis of all paper figures made using this technique. It will be very cool if your child learns to fold such “semi-finished products.” But putting them together just for the sake of learning is boring. They will be remembered themselves in the process of working on models, for which these basic forms will serve as the basis. Here we will look at some fairly complex basic origami shapes:

Basic origami form “Double triangle” for children from 6 years old

Place the square in front of you, colored side down. Fold the square diagonally and straighten it. We repeat the same action in the other direction.
Turn the sheet over so that the colored side is facing up. Fold the sheet in half, connecting the top and bottom sides of the square. Let's straighten the sheet.
We have all the lines necessary for folding. Let's add our figure according to them. She herself will strive to take the desired form.
The basic origami form “Double Triangle” is ready
Usually in the literature on origami they give another way of folding this basic model. But our experience suggests that the method described above is easier for children to do. Despite this, we present a diagram of the second folding method. Perhaps you will find it more interesting.
Folding diagram of the basic origami form “Double Triangle”. The rules adopted in origami will help you “read” the diagram correctly.

Basic origami form “Fish” for children aged 7-8 years

We present two ways to fold this basic origami shape.

The first option for folding the basic “Fish” shape

General diagram of folding the basic form of origami “Fish” (first option).

Now we’ll show you in detail how this is done.

Fold the square of paper diagonally and unfold it - mark the middle line.

Fold the two edges to the middle line - we get the basic “Kite” shape.

Let's bend the figure back, matching the opposite corners. For convenience, you can turn the figure over. The picture also shows a rear view.

Let's open the “pockets”.

Now let’s “flip” one of the two triangles from right to left. Let's turn the figure over.

The basic form of origami “Fish” is ready.

The second option for folding the basic “Fish” shape

General diagram of folding the basic form of origami “Fish” (second option)

1. Fold the square diagonally and unfold it.
2. Fold the upper sides to the marked line. Let's expand the figure.
3. Repeat the operation, folding the lower sides towards the middle.
4. Fold the square diagonally down, turning it into a triangle and unfold it too. We ended up with a whole network of lines outlined by folding.

Let's start folding along the marked lines. To do this, grab the edges of the model with the thumb and forefinger of both hands, squeezing two layers of paper at once, and bring them to the middle.
The basic origami “Fish” model is ready.

Basic form of origami “Catamaran” for children from 8 years old

1. Fold the square diagonally and unfold it. Let's repeat the same thing in the other direction. We get two lines outlined by folds.
2. Now let's outline two more folds. To do this, fold the square in half in two directions and straighten it.
3. Let's outline four more lines. To do this, fold the corners to the middle of the square, and then unfold it.
4. All lines are outlined. We begin, in fact, by folding the basic shape. Fold the sides towards the center.
5. Now fold the top and bottom sides of the resulting rectangle towards the center.
6. The most difficult part remains. From the inside, you need to take the corner of the top layer of paper with your fingers and pull it to the side until it stops.
We do this with all four corners.
The basic form of origami “Catamaran” is ready.

Basic origami shape “Square” for children aged 6-7 years

1. Place a square of paper in front of you, colored side down. Fold the square in half, connecting the top and bottom sides. Let's straighten it back out. Now fold and open in the same way, but connecting the sides.
2. Turn the figure over so that the square is the colored side up. Fold it diagonally and straighten it.
3. We have marked all the necessary folding lines. Now the figure will fold itself along them; it only needs a little help.
The basic origami shape “Square” is ready
As with the basic Double Triangle shape, there is an alternative folding method. We provide only a diagram for it. Try both methods and decide for yourself which you like better.
Folding diagram of the basic origami “Square” shape. Tables of symbols adopted in origami will help you “read” the diagram correctly.

Basic origami form “Bird” for children 10-12 years old

The Basic Bird Shape is built on the Basic Square Shape (see above).
Fold into a basic “Square” shape. Place the model in front of you so that the side that “opens” faces up.
Fold the sides towards the center. Fold only the top layers of paper.
Return the paper to its original position. Now take one layer of paper by the upper corner and pull it down, while folding the figure along the lines outlined in the previous step.
Turn the figure over and repeat the operation on the other side.
Basic origami form “Bird”

General diagram of folding the basic form of origami “Bird”

Basic origami forms are the basis on which a variety of models are created. Some with minimal addition of folds, and some go so far from the “base” that it’s impossible to even keep them away! In addition, many of the simplest basic origami shapes serve as the basis for folding more complex basic shapes. Here we present six of the simplest basic shapes available for preschool children to fold:

Basic origami shape “Triangle” Triangle
Basic origami form "Kite"
Basic origami form “Pancake”
Basic form of origami “Book”
Basic form of origami “Door”
Basic origami shape “House”

Basic origami shape “Triangle” for children from 4 years old.

The simplest form. We bend a square sheet of paper diagonally. Kids accept this explanation well: we make a “scarf” out of a “handkerchief.” To fold neatly, we connect the opposite corners, hold them with the finger of one hand, and smooth out the fold with the other hand.

Based on the basic “Triangle” shape, you can make it with kids, for example, or a model and

Basic origami form “Kite” for children from 4 years old

First, fold the basic triangle shape and unfold it. We have the intended diagonal.
Connect the sides of the triangle to this line and the basic “Kite” shape is ready.
Based on this basic form, you can make a modular model

Basic form of origami “Pancake” for children from 5 years old

First fold the square diagonally in one direction. Let's unfold it and fold it into another one. Let's expand the square again. We get two diagonals marked with folds.
The intersection of the diagonals is the center of our square. Bend all the corners of the square towards the center.

This is the basic pancake shape.

Basic form of origami “Book” for children from 4 years old

A very simple form - just bend the square in half.

Basic form of origami “Door” for children from 5 years old

Fold the square in half and unfold it.
Bend the edges of the sheet to the intended center line. This is the basic "Door" shape

Basic form of origami “House” for children from 6 years old

This is the most complex of the basic forms presented here.
Fold the square in half, connecting the top and bottom sides of the square.
Fold the resulting rectangle in half and unfold it. We get the center line outlined by the fold.
Bend both sides of the rectangle to this line.
Now the most difficult part of the model remains. On one side, take the topmost layer of paper with the fingers of your right hand and begin to unfold it from the center.

We hold the model with our left hand so that the remaining layers of paper remain in place. When we completely bend the paper, a triangle roof will form on top. Let's smooth it out with our finger. Let's repeat the same on the other side. The result was a house with two “entrances”.
You can use the basic origami shape “House” to create.
More complex basic origami shapes: square, double triangle, fish, bird and catamaran can be found in the article
To read the diagrams correctly and easily, get acquainted with. But keep in mind that these symbols are intended primarily for you. Children are ready to get acquainted with the elements of these signs only after seven years, and they will be able to “read” diagrams fully no earlier than 10-12 years, when their abstract logical thinking is formed.

Need to understand origami symbols, which help to correctly “read” diagrams for making complex figures. In origami, all symbols are divided into arrows, lines and auxiliary signs.

Let's figure out the lines. In origami, there are two main ways to fold a sheet of paper:

1) " Valley"(concave fold). In the diagrams it is indicated by a dotted line.
2) " Mountain"(convex fold). In the diagrams it is indicated by a dotted line with dots.

Arrows and auxiliary signs on origami diagrams mean the following:

Basic origami shapes

In origami, the base is a simple shape, a starting point, on the basis of which a huge variety of all kinds of shapes are created. From the history of origami it is known that initially 4 basic shapes were considered basic: fish, frog, bird and kite. In Japan, in mastering origami, it was considered mandatory to be able to make three main toys - the most perfect - a crane, a plastic one - a frog, and a complex one - a crab. In addition, there are bases with Western roots, for example a catamaran.

However, since then, origami has come a long way, and now the following forms are basic:

• Triangle and based on it “kite” or “ice cream”

• Crystal

• The book and based on it - “door” or “cabinet”

• Bird

• Frog

• A double square, and if you turn it inside out, you get a double triangle

• Water bomb (another name for double triangle)

• Catamaran (on its basis paharitas and kusudamas are made)

In addition to this, the following basics are distinguished:

• Crane (this is the basis of many other figures, for example, horse, elephant, star, Buddha mask, etc.);
• Pony (based on it - lanterns, flowers, photo frames, etc.);
• Camel (based on it - hare, carp, flowers, etc.)
• Hat (based on it - frog, rocket, flowers, gorilla, etc.)

It will be much easier for a beginning origami artist to cope with complex figures if he first hone his skills in basic origami figures. Basic basic shapes are for an origamist what sheet music is for a musician.

• It is better to start making origami with works in which there is no emphasis on basic forms, then using the simplest basic forms, for example, a “kite”. In more complex schemes, as a rule, there is no description of the process of manufacturing the basic form, since it is assumed that it is well known and worked out.
• When making a certain product, you need to make sure that the original sheet of paper corresponds to the required format.
• A novice origamist needs to pay special attention to the accuracy of joining cuts and angles. The accuracy of the product depends on this.
• A common mistake beginners make is that they take the figure in their hands, twist and turn it in different directions, after which it is not easy to return to the diagram. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, you should not pick up the pieces or rotate them.
• The sharper and straighter the resulting fold, the greater the chance of obtaining excellent quality of the finished product. It is convenient to iron the folds with some round plastic object, for example, a ring of scissors.
• To get an even fold, it is better to bend using a ruler or, for example, bend the paper on the edge of a table.
• When practicing the technique of folding symmetrical bends (for example, making legs, flower elements, etc.), you should not tightly join the folded sides, since when performing the following operations they can overlap each other, causing distortions and defects in the figure.

Basic origami forms are the basis of all paper figures made using this technique. It will be very cool if your child learns to fold such “semi-finished products.” But putting them together just for the sake of learning is boring. They will be remembered themselves in the process of working on models, for which these basic forms will serve as the basis. Here we will look at quite complex basic origami shapes: Basic origami shape “Double Triangle” Basic origami shape “Fish” Basic origami shape “Catamaran” Basic origami shape “Square” Basic origami shape “Bird”

You can see other, simpler models in the article “Basic origami forms for children 4-6 years old.”

Basic origami form “Bird”

General diagram of folding the basic form of origami “Bird”

Origami is an ancient art that came to us from Japan. Now millions of children and adults around the world are interested in origami.

Try to create your own collection of funny figures, toys and entire compositions that will become a worthy decoration for your interior.

But don’t rush to immediately choose beautiful but complex models; start with simple models. And then move on to complex models and modular origami.

Having learned it yourself, involve your children, family and friends in this. After all, things made with your own hands are always highly valued.

You can give beautifully made models, especially flowers, to your family and friends.

Gather required tools and materials necessary for origami.

Basic Paper Folding Techniques

Surely you can’t wait to quickly start making the beautiful models posted on our website or those that you saw on other sites, but take your time, let’s first understand the basic technical techniques of origami.

Get acquainted with simple symbols that explain the principle of folding any product using the origami technique. This is a kind of origami language, having learned which you can easily fold not only the figures proposed in this book, but also thousands of others. Most of the symbols were introduced into practice in the middle of the 20th century by the famous Japanese master Akira Yoshizawa. In recent decades, several new ones have been added to them.

Useful advice from an experienced master

The paper must be folded on a smooth, level surface. The free space should be enough to completely accommodate a sheet of paper and still have a small margin of space. Do not twist the figure in your hands or turn it unnecessarily - otherwise you will get confused, especially when folding complex models.

Methods and techniques for folding figures are presented in the diagrams using lines, arrows and auxiliary signs. Sometimes one picture shows not one, but several actions. You can always check the correctness of their implementation using the following figure. In order to get acquainted with origami techniques, prepare several small squares, follow the steps indicated in the pictures on the left, checking the result according to the pictures on the right. As a matter of fact, there are only two main ways to fold paper - either make a concave fold on it (“valley”), in which a corner, edge or pocket is in front, or a convex (“mountain”), in which part of the paper goes to the back of the sheet . All other methods of folding paper are simply derivatives of two basic techniques. So, always fold the paper as shown in the figure, while trying to make the folds firm and sharp. Remember: the straighter and sharper the fold, the greater the chance that the finished model will be correct and attractive in appearance. Never rush to finish a figurine. Origami should not be work for you, but relaxation. Remember to relax and do not take failures to heart if they happen to you. Better take a new sheet of paper, smile and start over.

Origami symbols and notations

Basic origami shapes. Manufacturing

Since ancient times, there have been some forms in origami that are considered basic. These are standard, easy-to-fold blanks, from which you can subsequently create hundreds of different figures.

The folding of many origami figures begins with well-known simple structures called vase shapes. There are not many of them - about a dozen. All of them are obtained from a square sheet of paper using simple techniques. For folding flowers using the origami technique, the basic shapes “square” and “hat” are most often used. These forms need to be studied as carefully as the basic folding methods and techniques discussed above. You must master them and make each basic workpiece automatically, knowing each of its folds and sequence of operations. Without knowledge of these basic forms, no one can seriously engage in the art of origami; they are for origami artists what scales are for musicians. However, not all figures in modern origami are made from a square sheet of paper; some are made from regular polygons - pentagons and hexagons. Having mastered the production of basic forms, you will successfully fold not only the figures given in this book, but also your own.

The basic shape is "square". Manufacturing

This basic shape has two visible planes, a closed "blind" corner formed in the center of the original shape (square), and an opening corner located opposite the "blind" corner.

1. First, fold the square along two diagonals, matching opposite corners.

3. Fold in opposite corners, folding them in half.

4. Smooth out creases. As a result, you have a basic origami “square” shape.

The basic "hat" or "water bomb" shape. Manufacturing

The “hat” has two triangular planes. A closed “blind” corner is formed in the center of the original square.

1. First, fold the square along two diagonals, matching opposite corners.

3. Press from below into the center of the square. Bend the side triangles, folding them in half.

4. So, the basic “hat” or “water bomb” shape is ready.

To make flowers, you need to have a regular pentagon and a regular hexagon as a base. How to make them? We'll tell you.

Pentagon based on a square. Manufacturing

Cutting a symmetrical, neat pentagon is not as easy as it seems. The easiest way: using successive techniques, fold the square and cut off the excess with scissors.

1. Fold the square in half, matching two opposite sides.

2. Make tucks by folding the resulting rectangle in half.

3. Make a tuck on one side, aligning the bottom of the rectangle with the center right tuck. Align the bottom left edge of the rectangle with the imaginary line between the two tucks.

4. Check the result and expand the rectangle, returning to the original square.

5. Fold the square so that the fold line begins at point B, and point A touches the edge of the sheet - place points D and C, as shown in the figure.

6. Fold the resulting figure so that point B touches the central fold line (made in step 1), 6 place point E at this place.

7. Fold the left edge of the figure into a mountain.

8. Using a ruler and pencil, connect points E and D. Cut with scissors along the marked line. Open the figure completely - you get a regular pentagon.

Hexagon based on a square. Manufacturing

A hexagon is made in much the same way as a pentagon.

1. Fold the square sheet in half, aligning two opposite sides.

2. Fold the resulting rectangle in half, as shown in the figure.

3. Align the right side of the rectangle with the center fold line

4. Fold the rectangle so that the lower right corner A touches the fold line made in step 3.

5. Check the result and fold the right edge into a “mountain”, with corner B aligned with corner C.

6. Using a ruler and pencil, check the horizontal line connecting corners B and A.

7. Using scissors, cut off the top of the shape along the marked line.

8. Open the resulting figure. The regular hexagon is ready.

Basic origami shapes

At the initial stage, many origami figures are folded the same way, that is, they have one base - a basic shape. Combining figures according to basic shapes systematizes a huge number of models and contributes to a more successful acquaintance with origami.

You should definitely pay attention to this section and try to remember how the main basic forms look. Many novice masters often find themselves in a stupor at the initial stages of patterns, precisely because they cannot determine the type of basic form, or are not even aware of them.

Basic shape "catamaran"

There are several ways to fold the basic catamaran shape based on different basic shapes. This model can hardly be called basic

Basic book form

This is another simplest basic form of origami. Fold the square sheet in half and... and that's it, the basic shape of the door is ready. Don't forget to rest.

Basic bird shape

The basic bird shape is folded over the basic double square shape.

Basic origami triangle shape

One of the simplest basic forms of origami. Its diagram might not have been posted (however, when I wrote this, the diagram was already on the site), but suddenly it appears somewhere in the diagrams.

Basic frog shape

The basic "frog" shape gets its name from the figurine from this blank - an inflatable frog.

Basic fish shape

The basic form is formed on the basis of another basic form - “kite”.

Basic double triangle shape

"Double Triangle" is not the only name for this basic shape. Another name - "water bomb" - comes from the origami model of this basic form. At the basic double triangle shape two visible triangular planes. A closed (“blind”) corner was formed in the center of the original square.

Basic double square shape

Basic form of double house

Named because of its appearance, it is rarely used but let it be for the sake of completeness of the collection. 🙂

Basic door shape

I also sometimes call this basic form of origami “cabinet” because of its external similarity. I don’t know whether this basic form will be useful to you, but if it exists, it should probably be used in some schemes.

Basic kite shape

The model is also named due to its external resemblance to a classic kite.

Basic pancake shape

Another elementary Basic Form that is very easy to remember due to its simplicity.
