There are many kinds of origami animals in the origami encyclopedia illustrations, but interesting little animals like the origami flying squirrel are still rare. However, it is a pity that although making such an origami The flying squirrel can't really fly, but it can add more rich elements to the origami zoo we made, so lets try making it now.
1. Starting from the square paper, first fold it in half in two diagonal directions. Then unfold to leave a crease in the middle.
2. Then fold the left and right corners toward the middle.
3. Fold the left and right sides formed after the previous step inwards.
4. Then restore and expand the previous operations. At this time, its okay, maybe six vertical creases.
5. Then fold the left corner of the paper to the right, with the crease positioned to the left of the middle crease.
6. Then fold the corner worked in the previous step back, but the crease is diagonal.
7. Then repeat steps five to six for the right corner.
8. Fold the bottom of the origami model upward.
9. Then fold the corner worked in the previous step downwards.
10. Then fold the top of the entire origami model downward.
11. Fold the top corner worked in the previous step.
12. Pay attention to this momentFold the two small inner corners upward as indicated by the black arrows, and then restore them, leaving creases.
13. At this time, unfold the two corners worked in the previous step flatly according to the creases as indicated by the white rough cut head.
14. Fold the bottom of the origami model upward.
15. Then flip the entire origami model over.
16. Fold the two corners of the bottom inwards.
17. Fold the two bottom corners that were folded up in the previous step again.
18. Then fold the bottom structure upward.
19. Fold the folded head-shaped structure continuously to form the head of the origami flying squirrel.
20. Finally, use a paintbrush to draw the eyes of the origami flying squirrel. A very cute origami flying squirrel for children is now complete!
