Origami Human’s Figure
For those who like to play story games and act out scenes of funny stories with toy characters, the pattern for making a person using the origami technique will really appeal. The figure will be movable. By bending the arms and legs, it can be given the desired pose: a sitting, running, or dancing person. The feet and hands bend and even the head tilts.
To make one human figure, one sheet of paper is required. On a large sheet, it is easier to deal with bends and folds. So, for the first figure, it is better to take a square with a side of at least twenty centimeters. Only after practicing folding a large figure can you start assembling smaller characters.
Connect opposite corners of the square to mark assisting lines.
Turn the paper over. Connect opposite sides for additional lines.
Turn over the sheet of paper. Fold a double triangle, connecting all the middle line segments in the center.
Fold the resulting triangle in half. Open back.
Bend the top and bottom lines of the shape to the resulting line.
Open the folds.
Fold the top of the triangle down, then bend it in half up.
Fold the folds towards you along the nearest marked line.
Bend the shape in half upwards to form an accordion.
Repeat the folds on the remaining parts of the shape.
The folds should alternate.
After the valley fold, there should be a mountain fold.
Open all folds.
Fold the left side to the second line from the edge. Crease the top of the fold, which is located above the sides of the bottom triangle.
Make this fold on the other side.
Turn the paper over. Fold the side to the fourth line from the edge. Crease the fold above the bottom triangle line.
Repeat the folds on the other side symmetrically.
Squeeze the corners along diagonal lines. Crease the mountain fold around the perimeter of the square.
Squeeze the corners deeper. Crease the valley fold on all sides.
After folding four mountain folds also squeeze a small square in the center along diagonal lines.
Crease four sides of the figure along the entire length.
Open the upper middle part of the workpiece. Set apart the rectangle in the center. Fold all the folds around it into a valley.
A torso and two pairs of limbs were formed.
Turn the figure over. Shape the hands. Bend the piece in half lengthwise, pinching the sides of the shoulder and hand. Bend the hands to mark the elbows.
Squeeze the lateral planes of the body in half.
Shape the legs. Fold parts of the strips in half and pinch at the foot and thigh.
Bend the paper to mark the knees.
Press the fold in the head area outward.
Straighten the folds of the hood, give the figure the desired pose.
You can create additional environmental elements and clothing. How about you send paper people on a treasure hunt through the impassable jungle or to race fast toy cars? You can shoot motion pictures and edit a real film in which the little men come to life.
