How to make origami cat in different techniques: the necessary materials and photos of crafts

Necessary equipment

This type of art involves working with paper (colored or white). Need scissors, pencil, ruler. In some cases, you need glue.

To create a cat in the origami technique we will need:

• three square pieces of colored (or white) paper;
• felt-tip pens or pencils;
• scissors;

Working, trying to clearly align all the corners, otherwise the product will be untidy or will not turn out at all. This is an important principle of origami art.

Technique of making a cat

How to make a paper cat? We go into detail on this issue and offer step by step instructions for creating a cat out of origami modules. The process is as follows:

The easiest version (a cat's head)

This work can handle even a child of 3-4 years.

1. We take a square sheet of paper, folded "kerchief.
2. Do the same on the other diagonal, mark the center line, but iron only one side (to the middle). The other side remains smooth.
3. The long side (base) of the triangle turn towards you.
4. The upper corner of the wrap toward you, about 2/3 of the leaf, to move the tip of the central line. Fix a strong squeeze.
5. Lift the bottom sharp corners overlapping the turned corner. Bend starting from the center, so we get a sharp bottom of the head.
6. Turn the product on the opposite side (it has no fold line).
7. Draw a felt-tip pen round eyes, below horizontally place an oval nose, from it draw two squiggles (we get the letter "l" written) lips, opposite them on both sides in parallel depict the antennae.

All right, the cat is ready. Enjoy playing with your child. Spend your time with benefit.

The first stage of creating a full-length cat (animal's muzzle)

A full-length cat will undoubtedly interest the child. It turns out very cute, and it's quite easy to make. It is suitable for children from 6 years old.

1. Take two sheets of colored or white paper, cut out two 10x10 cm squares for the head and the body. As an option, you can take a sheet of A4, divide it in half and make squares of it.
2. Square sheet roll in half diagonally, making "kerchief". Try to clearly align all the corners.
3. Connect the other corners of the diagonal, but do it in such a way that the bend was visible only on one side of the sheet (up to half the diagonal), ie. The second half of the sheet is left without a fold line, flat (this will be the muzzle of the cat). We mark the lines and unfold back.
4. At the top we have a right angle. Long line of the triangle - at the bottom. Actions are carried out on the side where the line is visible.
5. Wrap up to the center of the right, and then the left corner of the triangle (kerchief) to align them. We get a diamond, opening at the top.
6. Turn a diamond opening corners down.
7. The upper corner of our isosceles diamond bend itself (2/3), the fold line so that the angle went on the line. Good press. It turns out the wrapped triangle angle down.
8. Unscrew the bottom corners up, lift up to the intersection with the sides of the wrapped triangle overlap. These steps are also done on the visible side of the line. Thus, we create ears. Shape the muzzle of the animal.
9. Turn our product on a flat on the right side. You have a muzzle. Bottom corner of the bend to about the middle of the muzzle. Disconnect the front and back leaves, and tuck the rear triangle inside.
10. At the front triangle unbend the top tip outward, about 1 cm - we have a triangular nose.
11. Head ready. Draw eyes on it (two small circles) somewhere above the middle, black felt-tip pen (pencil), leave room for pupils - so the product will look more alive.
12. Below the eyeballs on the triangle, paint the nose. It can be drawn either black or pink.
13. From the center of the nose draw two hooks - those will be lips. They are also better to depict black.
14. At the same level as the nose and lips to draw a mustache (3-4 small lines).

The second step - make the body.

The first option:

1. We take the second square and fold again kerchief so that the right angle was in the left hand. Fold the right corner to the left edge, about 1 / 3. We get the tail turned away in our direction.
2. Bend the top corner to the bottom of the head.
3. Kitty with a tail ready.

The second option:

1. For him there will be a little more action. Again we fold the square diagonally.
2. Prodelen all the same steps as for the previous torso, until the end.
3. Protruding triangle (tail) once again turn forward, as if wrapping it, turn back. Good press, fix the line.
4. Unwrap the back. In places where the tail wrap, you get a diamond. All lines must be turned out at the top and iron (fix). Connect the central corners of the diamond, pressing down to the center. You get the tail sticking up.
5. Put the sides together and put the head on the top corner of the body.

Cat legs together and ready to play. From paper you can make a whole family of cats in different colors and sizes. The process of creating a cat in the technique of origami paper and play will be fun, interesting and useful for children.

In working on origami with children there is another undeniable benefit - the interaction with parents. The time you spend with your child is undeniably valuable. It's a lot of fun, jokes and positivity.
