Origami Lessons: How to Make a Frog from Paper

Today we will tell you how to make a frog from paper. There are several ways of making this animal through the origami technique. Different options for how to make a frog from paper, differ in the results (appearance and properties of the craft). For example, in origami, static and mobile models are distinguished. In today's lesson, we'll look at the second option of how to make a frog out of paper. Our design will have an interesting property - the ability to jump. And for a very significant distance.

For those who do not know or do not remember what origami is, we hasten to inform that this term means Japanese art, describing how to make crafts made of paper. "Ori" means "collapsible", and "kami" means "paper". In general, origami is the art of creating models from the material that was sounded above, without the use of glue and scissors (they can be needed only at the initial stage, since standard sheets have a rectangular shape, and most of the crafts are made on the basis of a square).

So we will need only paper, hands and patience for work. Take an A4 sheet of the color that our future jumper should have. We preferred the green, the most common among these amphibians, but this does not mean that you should do the same. We leave the question of coloring to your discretion. So, let's describe the process of how to make a frog out of paper.

Take the standard A4 sheet.

And make a square from it. Let's fold the paper as shown in the picture.

And we cut off the part that was left unnecessary. That's what should happen.

Now add the square along the second diagonal.

And again unfold.

Next, double fold the sheet in half. First, the upper face is pressed to the bottom, ironing the fold. We wrap and do the same with the two remaining sides. You should get a figure with such folds.

Now we start again to add a square along the diagonal line, but not to the end, but only to the midpoint of the line.

And now we are doing the same on the other side. Fold up to half the second diagonal.

Now press on the formed valve.

That's what we finally have to get.

Now take one of the corners of the resulting double triangle.

And we press it to the top of the figure.

Similar work is done on the other side.

Now the working angle is pressed to the bottom as shown in the photo.

Similarly, on the other hand.

Now turn the work over.

And bend the angle as shown in the photo.

Now on the other side.

There are very few left. We make paws.

Repeat the action on the other side.

Now bend the design forward.

A little retreat and return the paws to their original position.

The work is ready.

When you click on the "ass" our frog will jump.

If desired, you can add eyes, color the backrest or do other decorative work. In general, the model can be considered complete. We hope that all the steps were easy for you and did not cause difficulties. Now you know one of the ways to make a frog out of paper.
