Origami Dragonfly
Insects are extraordinarily beautiful creatures, with fine details and elegant lines. In these instructions, we will show you how to make a dragonfly out of paper. We will have it in green color, but you can make it blue or silver – as the imagination prompts!
Prepare the base bird – it is often used to create cranes.
Fold the top of the piece down towards you, as we have shown in the photo.
Turn the product over.
Make an auxiliary fold – you will need it for the next step.
Fold the bottom right side of the piece up and outward, as in the photo.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 on the left side – you get a product that looks like a star.
Divide the top end of the star into 2 pieces.
Fold each of them in half.
Turn the product over.
Visually divide the bottom piece into 2 equal pieces and fold each piece in half.
Fold the entire product in half.
Form the dragonfly’s head: fold the left edge 900 down, making two folds inward and one outward.
With scissors, cut the wings in half and fold the tips inward.
The small, nimble paper insect is ready!
