In general, here is a description found on a forum dedicated to modular origami on nanya.ru. Judging by the responses of those to whom I sent it (with their comments), everything is quite clear. It was not possible to insert an image of the original chicken, so this is mine as an illustration.

"CHICK:
Row 0-12 (triangles 1.5*1.5)
1 row-12
2-7 rows-12+4
8 row - 16 (vice versa - like 0 row)
9-14 rows-16
15 row-8 (triangles 1*1)

Wing.
1 row-3
2 row-2
3 row-3
4 row-2
Bottom shell.
1-4 rows-14 (triangles 1.5*1.5)
Rows 5-10-14+7.
Upper shell.
1-2 rows-8 (triangles 1.5*1.5)
3-10 rows-16.
Triangles are randomly removed from the finished shells (at the discretion of the maker). "

What changes have I made? I made the modules from 1/32 of an A4 sheet, so in order to get a neat bottom after turning it inside out, I needed 16 modules at once, I didn’t add anything anywhere. The arrangement of the modules is standard. What the author calls next to “0” - we put the modules on the short side, the rest - on the long side, the transition from the body to the head - again on the short side. I made the wings a little differently. There are 6 modules in total: 3-2-1. The first row - we place the modules on the long side, the 2nd and 3rd - on the short side. The modules of the 1st row of the wing are inserted between the modules of the last row of the body. Stays in place without glue.
In shells, all modules are placed on the right side and nothing turns inside out. As the shell grows, it takes on a glass-shaped shape. It is very plastic, so you can change the shape a little as you wish. The biggest problems were with the lower shell. As a result, I made it based on 20 modules, added 10 more modules in the 3rd row, and in total the shell turned out to be 8 rows. In rows 7 and 8 I removed the modules under the wings. The shell turned out to be not very stable. Again, we bend it a little with our hands, trying to find the most stable bottom possible. The craft is in my bookcase; before donating, I plan to push a piece of plasticine into the center of the lower shell for stability. The chicken stands from the inside of the shell on the 3rd ring of modules from the top; I pressed it there a little.
In general, the process is creative, it depends on the quality of the paper, and on the individual characteristics of the module attachment, and on imagination...

How to make a hen and chick out of paper with your own hands

Hen and chick. Master Class

We will tell you how to make a hen and chicken from modules.

This craft can be made by children over 6 years old. This craft is simple and good for those who are just starting to practice the art of origami.

This craft can be made for Easter to decorate the Easter table. You can do it in kindergarten and decorate with it an educational corner and an ecological corner.

How to make such a cute mother chicken from modules using this master class.

We will dwell in detail on the manufacture of chicken modules

DIY paper chicken. Manufacturing

To make the chicken we will use three colors of paper: blue, white, yellow and red. The size of one module in our case is 7.5 by 5 cm. (Modules can be made in a different size and color)

Collect red, white and yellow modules. You will find diagrams for assembling modules .

Step-by-step process for making chicken from modules

1. Take 10 yellow modules for the first and second row and connect them in Method 2 ( see Fastening modules), closing in a circle.

3. In the fourth row, put on 20 yellow modules.

4. In the fifth there are 20 red modules.

5. In the sixth there are 20 white modules.

6. Then put on 20 red modules.

7. In the eighth row, put on 20 yellow modules again.

8. In the next row, put on 10 yellow modules, skipping two corners of the modules from the previous row.

9. There should also be 10 yellow modules in the tenth row. But each of them is already put on 4 corners of the modules of the two previous rows.

10. In the last row, put on 10 yellow modules (see photo).

11. Use yellow paper to make a tuft for the chicken. To do this, cut the piece of paper halfway across into strips, and use a pencil to twist the strips in different directions. Roll the uncut part of the paper into a tube and insert it into the chicken on top.

12. Glue the eyes to the chicken, insert a beak - a small red module - one row below the eyes.

The chicken is ready.

Well, here's our couple together

Not so long ago, the origami technique gained popularity in many countries and truly turned into a world art, although the roots of this art go deep into Ancient China, and this knowledge was accessible to a few, only representatives of the upper classes. In the middle of the twentieth century, technology began to spread throughout the world. Various varieties began to appear: simple origami, modular origami, pattern folding, wet origami. Origami even gradually began to be introduced into kindergartens and schools, since scientists have proven that this type of art contributes to the development fine motor skills, concentration and perseverance of children. And if you want to instill these qualities in your child, then invite him to make a modular origami chicken in a shell together.

But before we get started, let's define what modular origami is and how it differs from classic way. Classic origami consists of using one sheet of paper which is folded into original figures without the help of scissors and glue. Modular origami consists of several separately folded parts, which are subsequently inserted into each other without the help of glue.

Triangular modules

So, what do we need to create a cute chicken in a shell? Let's look at the master class and detailed diagram assemblies.

Of the necessary materials, we only need paper of three colors: white, yellow and red. Our chicken consists of triangular modules.

Triangular modules can be folded in different sizes, it all depends on the volume and height of your craft. All modules in one craft must be the same size. How to properly divide an A4 sheet is shown in the photo.

Having decided on the size and cutting out the necessary rectangles, we proceed to assembling the triangular modules. detailed instructions indicated in the photo.

It is necessary to make 221 yellow modules, 304 white and 1 red module, which will serve as the beak of our chicken.

Assembling the bird

The first row is assembled from triangular modules located with the short side outward, all subsequent rows of modules are located with the long side.

We begin to assemble the chicken, for this we collect three rows of 16 modules each yellow color, not forgetting that the first row is located on the short side.

We turn our craft inside out so that the modules are facing us with the long side, and add 4 more rows of 16 modules each.

In the eighth row you place another 16 modules with the short side. We add 16 modules to the ninth row, but already have the long side.

And in the same way we collect four more rows. At this stage we already have the body of our chicken, now we start assembling the wings.

To assemble one wing we need 6 yellow modules. We arrange these modules according to the 3-2-1 scheme. The last module should be positioned with the short side.

We do the second wing in the same way. We attach our wings to the sides of the chicken body.

We insert the red module in the center.

Now let's start assembling our “house” for the chicken - the shell. Let's start from the bottom. We assemble the first four rows of 14 white modules.

This time I propose to make a darling origami chicken from modules using simple instructions. It, as always, consists of paper triangles. Look how they stack up.

A total of 214 parts will be required. Choose the leaf size based on the 3:2 ratio. I have rectangles 6X4 cm.

Do not use thin paper, which tears easily. Thick, like cardboard, will not work either. Optimal density 80-100 g/sq.m. m.

In addition to the yellow modules, make six red ones and one half the size.

Don't forget to glue the modules together during the assembly process if you plan to give the chicken to your child. If it will simply decorate the interior or become part of some composition, then you don’t have to glue all the parts together. It is enough to use glue only for the wings, legs and tail.

Modular origami chicken

Before collecting the adorable yellow chick, prepare necessary materials and details.

You will need:

• 207 yellow modules;
• 6 red triangles measuring 6x4 cm;
• 1 small red module (from a sheet half as large);
• colored paper for eyes;
• a yellow rectangle of arbitrary size for making a hairstyle;
• PVA glue.

Step-by-step instructions for assembling the chicken

Start with a standard base, described in detail. To do this, take 16 yellow modules and connect them with another 16 parts by inserting long ends into the pockets of others. Complete the circle. It turned out to be two rows. One will go inside and will not be visible.

Continue assembling 16 yellow triangles for another 5 rows. Modules of the new row are inserted into the pockets of the previous ones.

For the head, fold 4 more rows of 16 pieces in the usual way. The final row consists of 10 triangles. Their tops fit tightly to each other to make the head round.

Attach modular chicken two wings, not forgetting to glue them. They are easy to assemble - insert one triangle into the other.

Make paws from red parts, three modules for each. Insert them from the bottom of the base. Attach a yellow triangle ponytail to the back. The chicken can now stand confidently.

The model is almost ready. All that remains is to visually design it. Don't waste your time and energy on this.

Give the chicken a hairstyle, “do magic” over the eyes, and evenly insert the beak from the small red module into one of the existing gaps.

The technology for making chicken is very similar to that, so you can also quickly and easily assemble it in black and white. I wish you good luck in your endeavors! Origami can be a good hobby for you, which will give you a lot of joy and amazing discoveries!

Modular origami is aimed at children of average and younger age. It is additional education, a creative hobby and method for developing fine motor skills. Such paper souvenirs will be an excellent gift for parents and friends. Origami can decorate a corner with crafts or a shelf with indoor flowers. This article will tell you how to make a chicken.

Amazing art of origami

Modular origami is national japanese art folding various animals or paper figures. The art of this hobby is a mystery to all adults. This technology attracts children of all ages like a magnet. They create incredible objects out of paper with joy and curiosity. Various images of animals, buildings, cars can be hidden in the folded sheet. These images come to life in children's imaginations. They experience mixed feelings of joy, childhood, and satisfaction from handmade crafts. To make origami chickens modular, assembly includes several simple steps. In the first stage, you need to prepare special paper in advance for making the craft.

Preparing for work

All children love small, fluffy yellow chickens. Such creatures evoke affection, tenderness and a desire to protect them from the outside world. Particularly joyful emotions occur in children, whom their parents call “my little chicken.” Modular origami chicken is a symbol of childhood, bright sun and summer. To make this simple craft, you will need:

1. Cardboard or thick colored paper.
2. Scissors.
3. Stationery glue.
4. Stand or computer disk.
5. Ruler.

To get a chicken without any complications - modular origami, Master Class should not last more than 1 hour. Children definitely need a break. Otherwise, such a process of making crafts can negatively affect children’s vision. Workplace should be level and with good lighting. The best way to learn the art of origami is on your desktop. The surface is pre-covered with oilcloth so as not to stain it with glue.

Manufacturing of modules

Modules are small triangles. They are made of cardboard or colored paper. To make modular origami “Chicks”, you will need yellow paper. The aspect ratio of the sheet should be 1.5x1. Most often, such rectangles are made from landscape A4. It is divided into 4 equal parts vertically and 4 equal parts horizontally. There should be a total of 16 rectangles on one sheet. All sides are drawn with straight lines. Each rectangle should be approximately 74x53 mm. If the horizontal side is divided into 8 parts rather than 4, then the size of the rectangles will be 37x53 mm. It is allowed to fold halves of a square. To do this, you need to use record blocks.

1. The rectangle is bent in half.
2. Another line is drawn in the middle and folded in half again.
3. The workpiece turns like a mountain towards itself.
4. The edges bend towards the middle.
5. The module is then turned over.
6. The edges are raised up.
7. The corners bend over large triangles.
8. Then they unbend.
9. The triangles are folded along the marked lines.
10. The edges rise up.
11. The workpiece is bent in half.
12. A correctly completed module should have two small pockets and two corners.

To connect the modules to each other, they are inserted with long and short sides. Depending on the scheme, different three-dimensional figures are obtained. Next we will talk about making a voluminous chicken.

Assembling the chicken body

To make a modular origami “Chicken in a Shell”, the pattern includes 315 bright yellow modules and 7 red modules. Their size should be equal to 1/64 of an A4 landscape sheet. The first, second and third rows are assembled simultaneously. To do this you will need 66 modules, 22 for each row. In the first row, the modules are installed on the short side, and in the second they are put on with the long side down. In the third row, the modules are also put on with the longest side down.

Then they should be closed into an even ring. The resulting circle is turned inward so that the long side of the modules is directed outward. Row 4 also uses 22 modules. They are laid with the long side out. To make a chicken - modular origami, the diagram similarly repeats the next 5, 6 and 7 rows. The body of the figure is given a rounded shape.

Assembling the chicken neck and head

In order to make the neck, 22 modules are also needed. In the 8th row they are put on with the short side out. They must be placed vertically. To decorate the head, 22 modules are needed with the long side outward. The next 5 rows are put on in the same way. A total of 14 rows should be made. The head is given a rounded shape. On the 15th row, the number of modules is reduced by 2 times. They are put on every second lower module. Then they should be closed closer to the center. This should make a perfect modular origami chicken.

Origami design with wings and tail

Instead of a beak, a red module is glued. It is located in the middle of the created chicken head. To create a scallop, 6 modules are assembled in a column. They need to be slightly bent in an arc. The comb is then carefully glued onto the chicken's head. For this purpose, 2 modules are glued together to create a tail and two wings.

Then three more are glued to their upper side so that the middle module is in the middle. Then the created wings must be inserted between the body. They are carefully glued with glue. A tail is glued to the back of the figure.

Origami design with eyes and eyelashes

To completely create a modular origami chicken, you need to make black eyes. To do this you will need thick cardboard or colored paper. Two are cut from the material small pieces with a diameter of no more than 4 mm. A rectangle is also cut out. Then it must be cut so that eyelashes are formed. The eyes and eyelashes are glued to the chicken.

You can drip paper glue, white paint onto the black circles, or glue another circle of a different color onto them. This will make your eyes look more alive. You should get a modular origami “Chicken in a Shell”. You can also use purchased eyes for decoration. They are usually sold in sewing or stationery stores.

Decorating crafts with grass

You need to cut even rectangles from green cardboard. Their size should not exceed 3x5 cm. Then one edge of the rectangles is cut into several even parts. It follows that the edge cannot be reached more than 5 mm. Then the cut rectangles are twisted with scissors. The sharp side is drawn along the edge. You get small paper curls. Then they can be glued to a board, thick cardboard or computer disk.

A chicken is glued to the center of the support. You can glue butterflies, flowers, and dew onto such grass. To create a modular origami “Chicks”, the craft can be made several times. Then you will get a whole family of simple yellow chickens. And to create a mom and dad you just need to take the modules a little bigger size. Then the crafts will be larger.

Decorating crafts with shells

To make a modular origami “Chicken in a Shell”, you will need white paper. It folds into special modules. The 36 modules are then stacked with the short side up. On the second row, 36 long modules are superimposed on them. It is necessary to carefully bend the resulting craft into a semicircle. The modules are fixed with office glue. Afterwards they are folded identically on rows 3-10. To create the effect of a broken shell on the last row, the modules are put on one after another. To get the perfect modular origami “Chicken in a Shell”, the scheme for creating the second part of the craft is identical.

To create a hat, one part is put on the bottom of the craft, the second - on the chicken’s head. But it is worth noting that in this case there is no need to make a scallop, since it will be covered with a shell.
