Basics

1. 1Prepare a piece of origami paper. If you are a newbie to origami, you should choose a piece of paper that is the right size. Smaller paper is more difficult to handle.

2. 2Start origami crane. Often this is your first lesson when learning how to origami. Fold out the base of a bird. If not, please refer to steps 1-18 of the folding origami crane tutorial in the Making Department.

Body and wings

1. 1Fold the wings. Don't make the kite-shaped folds you make when making an origami crane. The remaining parts will automatically form the neck and tail. If you are making a wyvern, you should try to make the neck and tail straight.
2. 2 Pull the wings down. It should look like a headless paper crane with triangular wings. Make a deep crease as a base. Pay attention to the balance between the left and right sides.

Head and tail

1. 1Start making the neck. Fold the tip of the paper about half its length, and fold the paper to reveal the edges. Pulling forward less will make it look more like an upright dragon, pulling forward more will make it look like its claws and teeth are bared, as if its getting ready to pounce on prey, or about to dive down.
   • When you fold off a section to make the head, fold in more. Part of the paper will be used to make the corners. It is correct to fold it in half.
2. 2Fold the tip of the head to make a corner. The corners should point straight up. If its not long enough, re-fold this section. Does your origami look like a dragon now?
3. 3Fold some creases on the tail. This gives your craft a more reptilian look rather than a straight bird tail. Fold it up, then fold it down again.
4. 4Pull the back crease inward. Do this Increasing the area of ??the back also eliminates some unnecessary height, making your paper dragon more stylish, larger, and more interesting.
5. 5Put a crease on the wing so that it curves naturally. There are many ways to fold. If you're making multiple creases, make sure the angle of each one is different.
