You can develop fine motor skills by making various birds and animals. It also allows you to explore the diversity of the animal world with your child. One of the most beautiful and graceful birds is the swan. So, how to make a paper swan step by step?

Working with paper allows you to develop fine motor skills of the hands, which has a beneficial effect on the overall development of the child

One of the most beautiful paper swans is the one made from modules. To create this craft, you will need to make a large number of triangular modules.

The first step is to make the modules:

1. A4 sheet is divided into 32 equal parts. To do this, its length is divided into 8 parts, width - by 4.
2. Each resulting rectangle is folded in half along its long side.
3. The elongated rectangle is then folded in half, connecting the two short pieces to each other.
4. The previous step is turned back, and the halves of the upper side, consisting of two layers, are applied to the resulting midline.
5. The workpiece is turned over. The outer corners of the lower rectangles are folded. And then the beveled rectangular pieces are folded to the base triangular element.
6. The workpiece is folded in half.

How to assemble a swan from modules?

Assembling a swan using modular origami technology is quite simple, but it requires concentration of attention, since an error in counting can lead to the formation of a curved figure.

For work you will need:

• 458 modules of white color;
• 1 red module.

Assembling a swan using modular origami technology is quite simple

Step-by-step actions:

1. Each row of a swan's body consists of 30 elements. First of all, two rows are simultaneously assembled: the left pocket of the upper element is put on the right acute corner of the lower triangle. Thus, all 60 elements of the first 2 rows are collected. With the help of the last module, the chain is closed in a ring.
2. Next, 3-5 rows are recruited in turn.
3. The resulting workpiece is turned inside out. Further, in a similar way, another 1 row is built.
4. In the 7th row, the wings begin. For the head, 2 adjacent corners are left. On both sides of them, 12 elements are attached. Thus, the 7th row forms a total of 24 elements.
5. In each subsequent row of wings, it is necessary to reduce the number of elements used by 1 piece. For example, in the 10th row, only 9 elements will form 1 wing. From the 11th row, 2 elements are reduced. Working according to this scheme, it is necessary to make up the 18th row of 1 element for each wing.
6. Gently bend the wings with your fingers, giving them a graceful concave shape.
7. A tail is made between the wings at the back. The first tail row consists of 5 elements. Each row should be reduced by 1 piece until a sharp tip is formed.
8. Then the neck is performed. To do this, 1 module is attached to the remaining 2 corners, 2 elements are attached to it, followed by 1 again. This assembly scheme is repeated until all white modules run out. The neck should be crowned with a red module - the beak.
9. The neck is given a curved shape. Eyes are attached to the head.

This swan can also be made in color. To do this, the white paper should be replaced with one that is most suitable in shade for the desired purpose. One of the spectacular design options for such a figurine is the assembly of a rainbow bird.

Large paper swan: step-by-step instructions

A large swan can be made with modular origami.

The assembly of such a model has some features:

1. The poultry is assembled according to a similar instruction, but the rectangles prepared for the formation of the modules should be larger. So, A4 sheet should be divided not into 32 parts, but into 8. As a result, the modules will be 4 times larger in size.
2. Also, to assemble a large swan, you will need to use PVA glue. This should be done to strengthen the structure.
3. Each row of the bird's body should have a double or triple the number of parts.

How to make a paper swan using origami?

In order to make a swan using the origami technique, you only need a square of white paper.

We make the bird in stages:

1. The square is bent into a basic triangle shape and then returned to its original state.
2. Adjacent corners should be folded towards the center along a diagonal fold.
3. Next, it is necessary to bend the sides of the formed triangle by 1/3.
4. The resulting angle is folded by more than 50%. Then a small angle is folded back - to form a swan's head.
5. The workpiece is bent in half, the tail is bent, the wings are spread.

Using such shapes, you can create volumetric appliqué works.

Volumetric paper swan

You can also make a swan out of paper using cutting.

This will require:

• a4 sheet;
• glue;
• clamp;
• scissors.

Such figures look very impressive as a New Year's decoration.

How to do:

1. A4 sheet is folded in half lengthwise. A template is drawn on the sheet.
2. Next, using scissors, the template is cut out. Through cuts are made on parallel oblique lines.
3. The tail is turned inside out and glued to the neck.
4. In order not to hold the figurine until the glue dries, you can fix it with a clip.
5. The beak is painted red, an eye is drawn on the head.

Such figures look very impressive as a New Year's decoration for a kindergarten or school.

Big swan from children's hands

An excellent option for decorating a group in kindergarten is to create a large paper swan from children's handprints. This requires only paper and glue.

How to do:

1. The first step is to cut out the base of a swan with an oval small body, spread wings, a graceful neck and head.
2. Next, each child traces their palms on a sheet of paper, and then cuts out the resulting shape.
3. Swan wings are decorated with carved palms, like feathers, directing the fingers away from the bird's body. The prints should be overlapped, starting from the edge of the wings. In the narrowest part of the wing, 1 handle should be placed, in the second row - two, in the third - three. When the wing acquires a more uniform structure, the number of palms should be left unchanged, placing each rad in a checkerboard pattern with respect to the previous one.
4. Then the resulting figure is decorated with a beak and eyes.

In this work, you should not use a large amount of glue, as it can deform the main figure and lead to its unnatural bends.

Paper crafts are objects that every child puts their soul into. By creating them, he creatively develops, and also forms such necessary qualities as perseverance, attention. At the first stages of teaching a child to work with paper, he needs to be offered to carry out basic models of figures. Gradually, with the receipt of a certain amount of experience with this material, the child will improve them, finding his own ways of decorating and creating new forms.

The classic origami technique is folding various paper crafts without using scissors or glue. In addition to the classical technique, other types of work with paper have become widespread. One of the most popular is folding three-dimensional figures using numerous paper modules. The modular origami swan is a prime example of how beautiful figures are created using triangular details.

Bright volumetric models attract everyone's attention. It seems that special knowledge and skills are required to create such works. However, even a novice amateur can collect such a craft. It is worth carefully studying the master classes on this technique, and following the recommendations of experienced craftsmen. Crafts made using this technique require, first of all, attentiveness, perseverance and diligence.

Each master has its own constructor. This constructor includes the disassembled elements of old or failed shapes. Also pre-assembled triangular parts for new works. To create the modules, A4 colored or white paper is used.

The sheet is divided into 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 equal parts. Most often the paper is cut into 16 or 32 pieces. For children, to make it more convenient and easier for them to assemble the craft, the paper sheet can be cut into 4 or 8 pieces.

To get 16 identical rectangles, the paper sheet is divided in width and length into 4 equal parts. For 32 rectangles, the sheet is divided in width by 4 and in length into 8 parts.

Triangles are collected from such rectangles to create volumetric paper figures.

To make a module, you need:

1. Bend the rectangular sheet in half. Bend the resulting rectangle in half again and unbend it. This is how two main folds of the workpiece are outlined.
2. The edges of the rectangle are folded towards the centerline. The figure turns over.
3. The bottom edge rises. The corners on the left and right are bent along the line of the large triangle.
4. Unfold the bottom.
5. Small triangles are folded along the marked lines from below. The edges rise.
6. The resulting triangle is bent in half. The result is a module with two pockets and two corners.

Triangles can be attached to each other in three ways:

• They are connected by long sides.
• The connection goes through the short sides.
• One module on the short side, two on the long side.

Which assembly method is used is usually indicated in the instructions for the diagram.

For newbies

Beginners will definitely need detailed step-by-step instructions on how to assemble a paper swan using the modular origami technique. Such instructions and step-by-step explanations can be seen in the video master classes by recognized origami connoisseurs.

There are many groups that share a love for this type of creativity, and where you can get advice on how to make origami a swan from modules with your own hands.

For beginners in specialized stores, a huge number of kits for working in the modular origami technique are presented - swan figures and assembly diagrams step by step.

Before you start assembling such a graceful figure as the modular origami of a beautiful double swan, you should practice on lighter models. Simple models can also be assembled by a preschooler with the help of educators in children's institutions or with the help of a mother.

The most tedious thing for a child is the creation of triangular modules. Fine motor skills are not yet developed properly, and it is difficult for the baby to collect small parts. That is why it is better to assemble large and medium-sized modules for children's crafts. Preschool children quickly get tired of monotonous boring work, so the mother's task is to help make blanks for crafts.

It is better to allocate a special time and day when all family members will jointly collect an openwork air composition. The elements necessary for creating a volumetric figure must be prepared in advance. It will be interesting for the child to engage in the creative process together with the parents. Adults will be able to suggest how modular figures are assembled correctly.

A figurine of a small swan belongs to an easy craft, the assembly of which does not take much time and pre-assembled blanks. To create a modular origami "little swan" you need to make 70 triangular modules, 69 elements of pink or blue and 1 red for the beak.

Let's look at how to assemble a little swan step by step.

We collect the torso. The basis is 3 rows of assembled elements. Each row contains 12 triangular blanks. The resulting strip is connected in a circle. It is necessary to give the resulting part the shape of a bowl.

First wing - 4 modules are put on. The next rows are in decreasing order: 3 triangles, then 2. The tip of the wing - two elements, worn one on top of the other.

Breast - 2 modules are put on immediately after the winglet. On top, 1 piece is attached with the short side. The breast is ready.

Second wing. Immediately after the breast, the second wing assembly process begins. Both wings are assembled according to the same scheme: 4 parts, 3 elements on top, then 2 triangles. The tip of the wing is two rows of one triangle.

Tail. First row - 2 parts. One more workpiece is attached on top.

Neck, beak. For the neck, we connect 5 elements vertically, the 6th row ends with a red triangle - the beak. Gently give the neck a slight curve.

Connect the neck to the last breast module that was assembled with the short side.

Assembling such a small figure will not take more than 10 minutes. You can create a whole family of beautiful birds. To make it easier for the child to hold the modules in his hand, the parts can be made large. A kid can make such a craft as a gift to his grandmother or mother. The size of the small swan can be changed by adding more blanks.

Simple model

After you have mastered the process of assembling a small craft, you can start working on a more voluminous and complex figure.

To create one model, you will need 458 multi-colored modules and 1 red triangle for the beak. Lovers of classic models choose black or white colors for crafts.

Consider the step-by-step creation of a modular origami swan from prepared elements. The presented model refers to the average level of complexity, requires precision and care.

• A strip is assembled from 30 blanks, which is connected in a circle.
• We make 4 more circles in the same way.
• The resulting part must be carefully turned out. Make sure that the modules do not fall out and the workpiece does not fall apart. It turns out a figure that resembles a bowl. 2 more rows are attached to the top of the bowl.
• On the 8th row, the process of forming the wings begins. For the wings, attach 12 blanks, skip 2 parts. The neck of the craft will be attached at the place of the pass. After missing triangles, attach 12 parts again. The remaining free area is a place for the tail formation.
• The wings are performed as follows. Starting from row 9, in each subsequent row the number of paper modules decreases by 1. The wing is considered complete when 1 triangle remains.
• In the same way, reducing each row by 1 piece, a tail is made.
• The neck is made separately from 19 elements and 1 red triangle for the beak. The corners of one part are inserted into the pockets of another. Completes the red triangle. The resulting part must be given a slight bend, similar to the position of the swan's neck.
• In the place left between the wings, attach the neck of the craft. It turned out a paper swan using modular origami technique.

The main element of this craft is a bowl-shaped body. This technique is used to create other figurines: vases, dragons, animal models and fairy-tale characters. Taking the swan scheme as a basis, you can create a voluminous heart.

Having studied the assembly scheme of a modular origami swan, a beginner is already able to come up with and implement his creative idea.

Many experienced craftsmen improve this type of craft, creatively rethink the approach to the classic model assembly. So, in modular origami a swan (the master class presents extraordinary models on the Internet), for example, the figurine is made in blue tones with an unusual wing shape.

Such an unusual craft can be made in the colors of the country's flag.

Origami double swan

This type of craft is more complex. However, the double swan looks brighter, the figure turns out to be more voluminous. This is due to the fact that the model is assembled according to the principle of a nesting doll. One figurine contains several smaller ones.

Before you start creating such a masterpiece, prepare 1502 elements. To emphasize the unusual shape, add colored triangles. Then you will need:

• Colored blanks - 180 pcs.
• White - 1322 pcs.

Part one

It will take 770 modules to assemble.

• For the base, we collect and connect 2 rows of 30 parts in a circle.
• Add 2 more rows. We turn out the neatly obtained part. It turns out a figurine that looks like a bowl. We make 10 more lines on top. While working on a figure, constantly correct it. Slim down.
• We collect 15 rows in a similar way.
• On the 16th line, we outline the places where the neck, wings, tail will be formed. You will need:
• Neck - 6 elements.
• Wings - 10 pieces for each wing.
• Tail - 4 elements.

We make the neck according to the following scheme:

• 6 modules: 1 pink, 4 white, 1 pink triangle.
• Each subsequent line decreases by 1 part until 2 triangles remain. The neck is ready.

We collect the tail opposite the neck. The tail begins to gather from 4 pink elements and remove one from each line until 1 piece remains.

After completing the assembly of the tail, move on to the wings. The construction of the left and right wings is the same.

• First row: 1 pink triangle, 8 white ones and 1 pink detail closes the wing.
• Second row: the last module from the side of the tail is put on the inside of the corner.
• The wings rise 10 rows, each line has 10 elements. To control the height of the wings, they must be collected at the same time.
• Starting from row 11, the wing elements are reduced by 1 piece. in each subsequent row. The decrease goes among the white details. The pink border remains in place.
• The wing is complete when 1 pink triangle remains.

So, the main part of the double swan is assembled. To prevent the created structure from falling and falling apart, make a stand of two rows. Strengthen the blanks of the stand for the stability of the craft with glue.

Part two - inner wings

The base of the second part is made similarly to the first figure. Only 20 elements are collected in a circle. After 2 assembled rows, turn out the craft blank and add 5 more lines. Be sure to stretch the figurine.

Each wing consists of 10 parts: 8 white ones in the center, 1 pink module at the edges. Each wing rises 3 strips.

Starting from row 4, white elements are reduced by 1 piece. with each row until the pink triangle closes the wing line.

Part three

The beginning of the third part is similar to the two previous details of the swan figure. There are 12 triangles at the base alone. The figure rises by 6 rows and turns inside out. In the last line, 2 pink details are put on.

From row 7, reduce each row by 1 white triangle. The last part is ready.

The three assembled parts must be carefully and carefully inserted into one another.

Parts can go in tight, cling. Slowly, slowly push the base of the wider figure apart. After all the details of the future craft are collected, start working on the neck.

Neck

Space was left for the neck for 6 modules, but it is better to assemble it from 4 or 3 pieces in width. The length of the neck depends on the wishes of the master. To prevent parts from falling apart during bending of a long workpiece, it is recommended to put them on glue. A red beak ends the neck. You can optionally glue the drawn eyes or make them from buttons.

The craft itself can be decorated with a chain, a bow or a string of jewelry. Such a figurine is both a beautiful interior decoration and an original handmade gift.

"The Swan Princess"

One of the most beautiful volumetric figures is the modular origami Swan Princess. It is in the creation of fairy-tale characters that the masters and lovers of this type of creativity give free rein to their unrestrained imagination.

The source of inspiration is the princess from the fairy tale of the same name. There are as many models as there are masters, depicting a fairy-tale heroine. Someone creates a princess figurine, however, most people like the creation of a fairy swan.

Quite a lot of step-by-step methods of creating this craft are presented. For the base, you can take a classic model, add grace to the craft by making a longer and curved neck, decorate the head of the figurine with a crown.

Prepare the following modules:

• Green - 166 pcs.
• White - 615 pcs.
• Blue - 680 pcs.
• Yellow - 335 pcs.

Start working on this model by creating a tail. There are 30 parts at the base. The colors of the triangles can be combined as you wish or made according to the scheme.

After the blue petals have been collected, detail reduction begins from the top point of such a petal. On each side of the leaf, 1 element is removed.

For a lush tail, you need to collect 1 large feather and 8 small feathers.

Small feathers are made in two colors, 4 pieces each:

• Vertically connect 5 elements, alternating 2 colors.
• Put 2 green triangles on 2 corners.
• In the center there are 2 yellow modules, and 1 green modules on the edges.
• Next line: green, yellow, green, yellow, green.
• Green, 2 yellow, green. The extreme parts are put on the inside of the lower module.
• The following lines are made to decrease in a similar way.
• The same feathers are made in a different color.

A large feather is assembled from two small ones, located vertically above each other.

The feathers are neatly attached to the tail. To avoid falling, it is recommended to put them on glue.

Assembling the torso

The base consists of 36 elements. 11 blue lines are collected in a circle. From the 12th line, the breast of the craft begins to form. Colors are collected from 2 stripes. The center of the wings is highlighted in yellow, the breasts in green, framed by white triangles.

On line 12-1, a breast is formed in the center: 1 piece is removed from each row.

Neck

Alternate elements in a line of 2 and 3 pieces. Height - 25 strips.

For the wings, 7 parts are used from different sides, opposite each other. For each line, 1 element is also removed.

The tail is collected in front of the breast. To create a ponytail, 11 elements are used, the number of which decreases with each strip.

The stand is made of two circles of 39 modules each.

It is better to attach the finished craft with glue to the stand so that you can move and turn without fear that it will crumble. Figures can be of different sizes - from a few centimeters in height to one and a half meters or more. Large and tall crafts necessarily require additional strengthening of the composition.

Modular origami is a way to create a three-dimensional paper object. This art came to us from China and has gained many admirers. You need to assemble the figures using a certain technology so that the structure is durable. If everything is done correctly, the product will be beautiful and durable.

Swan from modules - step by step instructions with photo and video

This technology is based on modules that are made from a landscape sheet. For manufacturing, you will need to cut the sheet into 32 equal parts. Each leaf must be bent in half 5 times, and then cut along the fold line. After preparing the material, you can find a step-by-step diagram of the origami swan from the modules and get down to business.

The origami lilac swan will be a great home decoration. To create it, you will need 1111 parts, that is, 36 album sheets. Of these, 937 modules should be lilac, 136 - blue, 1 black and 1 red. When they are ready, you can start collecting the craft. A step-by-step diagram of a swan from modules will tell you how to proceed.

First, form a chain like in the photo:

Close it in a circle and start building up rows. You will need 11 of them at the moment. The chest part should be done as follows. Put on 1 blue, 8 lilac and 1 blue again. Then continue, focusing on the photo:

Make the neck out of 18 layers. Alternate between blue and lilac shades. It should look like the image:

Now you can go to the head. Alternate the colors again, and complete the shape with black and red. After that, the bird's head will be ready.

For the ponytail, you will need to build up the rows, lifting them up. They should taper towards the end so that only one module remains in the last one at the top. A stand can be made on request. It is made of three layers, closed in a circle. You will need 135 pieces of paper.

If everything is done correctly, you get a craft as in the picture:

To make the process of creating a bird clearer, it is recommended that you read the training video.

The swan princess looks like a king, as it is distinguished by a bright color, a gorgeous tail and an exquisite appearance. Making it is no more difficult than an ordinary origami bird, if you follow the instructions. In total, you will need 166 green, 680 blue, 615 snow-white, 335 orange parts.

Alternating shades with each other, you can get a bright pattern. You will need to make feathers - 8 small and one large. After that, they will have to be fixed on the tail. Collecting, you need to repeat the figure as in the photo:

For the base of the body, 36 pieces of paper are used, then everything is laid out in a circle and so on until the 11th row. After that, you need to start narrowing the product towards the top.

The neck is made up of 25 rows, the colors alternate with each other. For the beak, use one red and one black module. When making wings, the layers will need to be narrowed towards the top. The same goes for the tail.

For the stand, you will need to use 39 paper parts, it should be from 3 different shades. You should be guided by the picture:

The finished product is fixed to the stand with a glue gun. The origami Swan Princess should look something like this:

Double swan from modules - step by step instructions with a photo

To create a bird, you need to prepare 1332 white parts and 180 pink ones. It is recommended to start collecting from the body, gradually building up layers. There should be 15 of them in total, after which it will be possible to move on to the neck, wings and tail.

For the neck and ponytail, use pink pieces. Place these parts opposite each other as in the picture:

First make the wings from 10 rows, and then gradually reduce by 1 piece of paper. It should look like this:

Now make a stand, securing it with glue:

It remains to form the inner wings. They need to be narrowed towards the top, so that in the end it turns out as in the photo:

You also have to make an internal bet, in the image it is located on the right:

Having connected the details, you will need to make the neck and head. It is advisable to fix everything with glue. It is recommended to make a beak from 1 black module and from 1 red one. If everything is done correctly, the craft will look like this:

A little offline on the Entrepreneurial Man blog. What should a webmaster do on long winter evenings while waiting for the next issue update? You can master modular origami and make beautiful things out of paper. With this article, I decided to support my previous note, in which it was proposed from A4 sheet without glue and scissors. And then she's all alone on my site. We need to support it with a thematic article. The envelope is made using the usual classic origami - the art of folding figures and paper products. In this article, we will look at a more complex modular origami technology for creating a 3D model of a swan.

The essence of modular origami is modules :-). Models are assembled from triangular modules, which are made from 1/8 of A4 sheet. First you need to make blanks by cutting the sheet into eight parts. To make it easier to cut the sheet, it should be bent three times and cuts should be made along the folds.

It is not necessary to cut very evenly, small irregularities in the future will be hidden during the manufacture of the module. Before that, I had already worked in the modular origami technique and know how to fold triangles, so I immediately cut the required amount of paper.

Quite simple steps. For a high-quality model, you will need to make a lot of triangle modules. Fortunately, after the 50-100th module you will be able to do them with your eyes closed. And you can combine this tedious process, for example, with watching TV or talking with your loved ones and relatives. In less than a week, I made over 1000 modules.

The modules are connected to a blank as follows:

I advise strongly not to insert modules into each other, otherwise the workpiece will be too flat, and you will have to assemble it first. The swan has inner and outer wings. For the outer fenders, I took 25 modules in one row.

Top view of a five-row blank:

Bottom view:

We continue the assembly up to about 10 rows, and then divide the row into zones. 4 modules for the neck, 8 modules for the wings and 5 modules for the tail. For the wings on one side, we reduce by one (more precisely, half a module) the number of modules in each new row. Thus, we get another 14-15 rows.

Small inner wings are made in the same way. Only they do not need to leave room for the neck and tail. I put 16 modules in a row, 8 for each wing.

Small wings - front view:

Top back view:

Next, we need to make the body of the white swan. The connection scheme of the modules remains the same, only we almost immediately (from about the third row) begin to reduce the number of modules in each new row.

Now we have all three parts of the double swan from the modules ready. You can insert them into each other. The parts fit tightly and hold well in place even without glue.

To decorate a swan, it is desirable to make the extreme modules of colored paper. But where does a rogue like Seorubl get colored paper at home? That's right, I don't have it. I had to go out to the area and catch a couple of kindergarteners in order to borrow colored pencils from them for a while. I was too lazy to paint the border modules, so I limited myself to my eyes and beak. It turned out to be a cute white swan. We make two such models and we get origami swans for a wedding.

Another photo, swan assembly, front view:

A close-up top view of the double swan so you can see the details of how the modules are connected. Pay attention to the neck, in it the modules turn in the opposite direction.

Little swan modular origami

I have a few more modules left, and I decided to make an additional small swan out of them.

Both swans in one photo:

I don't know about you, but I really liked modular origami. The swans are great. No wonder I have spent several evenings of my life mastering this technique.

It took about 135 sheets of A4 paper to make the swans. At the same time, I took the "dirty" paper, on one side the text was already printed on it. The method of folding triangles presented in the article allows you to reuse, for example, damaged or irrelevant documents at the moment. Such "material" can be found without any problems in any office with paper documents.
