Origami Elephant
The master class on assembling an elephant will appeal to both adults and children. Alternatively, both can spend an exciting time together! Just follow the steps one by one.
Prepare a piece of paper 15 by 15 cm (any color you wish). Fold diagonally first on one side and then on the other. Crease it well and unfold it.
Fold the top edge to the central intersection point, as in the photo. On the opposite side, also fold the edge by about 1.5 cm.
Fold the sides towards the center, with dotted lines serving as a reference point.
Fold the upper tips of the folded edges, forming the ears of an elephant (see photo).
Flip the resulting figure. This is the base of the elephant’s head.
Form the trunk using a folding method (see photo).
Unfold the elephant’s trunk and fold again, but keep a small spacing (see photo).
Let’s take care of the elephant’s head, for which you need to fold the upper corners to form the ears.
Continue to fold the elephant’s trunk according to the accordion principle.
Unfold, you get a beautiful trunk!
The elephant’s head is ready!
Let’s start with the torso, for which you need to take the second square-shaped paper 15 by 15 cm. Fold horizontally and then vertically.
Fold about 2 cm of the bottom edge.
Turn the paper over with the fold down. Then, fold the side edges to the center, and crease the folds well with your fingers.
Connect the head to the body, draw eyes!
Here is such a charming origami elephant as a result! Try and you will make just as cute one!
