Good afternoon! Today we will show and tell you in detail how to make a swan from modules.

For this, let's say right away, a difficult origami you need a lot of paper, patience. First we need to know how to make a module (the main element for this origami) to create a swan.

So let's get started.

Master class on creating a module - a triangle.

1. Take sheet A4. Sixteen small modules can be made from an origami sheet of this format. The size of the sheet will determine the size of the module. Usually use small ones. We fold the A4 sheet in half horizontally, then vertically, again in half and again in half.

2. Cut along the fold lines and get 16 small rectangular blanks for modules.

3. Fold the workpiece in half horizontally, then vertically.

4. We got a rectangle.

5. First we take one edge and turn to the line, then the other edge - we get two triangles, and inside the fold.

6. Expand the blank to see an isosceles triangle. We bend the lower edges of the triangle in the opposite direction, as in the picture.

7. We turn the protruding corners inward, so that we again have an isosceles triangle.

8. Fold the triangle in half and carefully iron the folds. The corner is ready.

9. If there were unclear moments in the pictures, below is a schematic algorithm of action in order to form corners.

10. The next corner of origami that you make must be inserted into the hole with an angle (the module has two holes).

Now you can begin to consider two options for collecting - module swan.

Step-by-step instruction of origami swan from the corners.

Option number 1 .

This origami scheme is simpler. To implement this beautiful and unusual origami, you will need 458 triangular modules of white color (or black - depends on what color you want to make a swan) and an orange corner - for the beak of our bird.

1. To begin with, we will collect the first rows of origami. Take three modules (trinity) and insert them into the algorithm, which you can see in the picture.

2. The corners on both sides of the module must be inserted into the two holes of the third.

3. We insert the next pair now in the left, and then in the right.

4. Now, according to the same scheme, we insert two more paper corners. At this stage, the first two rows are not very tightly held together - do not worry, we will seal them in the third and subsequent rows, we do everything carefully.

5. We insert on the left into the hole in the second row.

6. Then also on the right, put in the holes of the modules.

7. According to this scheme, we will collect 3 rows of the future origami and form a circle, in each row we will get thirty modules.

8. Using the same algorithm, we insert into the circle, forming the fourth and fifth.

9. Now it is necessary to twist the resulting structure, for this we take with our hands and fingers we gently press on the center and turn it out.

10. We get a plate.

11. We bend the edges of the swan up, the swan now looks on its side, we look at the picture.

12. The picture shows what it looks like if we turn it over.

13. Placing the corners like chess, insert the sixth row.

14. When we begin to insert the seventh row, we first insert twelve modules, indent two corners, then twelve modules. Where we retreated to two corners, then in the process we will place the swan neck. On the larger resulting indent - there will be a tail.

15. Starting from the eighth circle, we reduce the number of modules in those places where there will be wings, each one by one (11 in the eighth, 10 in the ninth, and so on).

16. The picture shows how the circuit looks from the side.

17. When we came to the point that the module is inserted one last in a row - we give a small bend to the wings.

18. Using the same algorithm, create a swan tail - insert the modules, decreasing by one in the next rows.

19. Now it remains to make only the neck of our origami swan and crown it with its head. To do this, we need nineteen (19) white corners and one orange. The neck collecting algorithm is different. Take 2 corners and arrange them - look at the picture.

20. Bend the neck, as it will look more natural. We make all the white corners in turn. Last insert orange.

21. Then carefully insert the neck into the two corners that we left under it. Congratulations! We have created a magnificent and graceful swan.

22. Top view of a swan. You can glue it to the bottom and use it as a vase for sweets or others.

Swan made of double modules, origami scheme.

Option number 2.

In the picture you can see how our wonderful swan will look. Beauty isn’t it?

For this, we need a lot of origami modules, namely 1502 things. And, of course, patience, and the desire to do it yourself, is something unusual. You can bring your loved ones and children to this process. I think children will especially like you to help in this process. You can even arrange a little competition - who can manage to make more modules in a certain time.

You can make this swan entirely out of plain white paper, but if you want a more interesting accent for origami, you can create it using colored elements, then you need a thousand three hundred twenty-two (1322) corners of white color and one hundred eighty (180) of a different color. In our scheme, we used pink.

1. We take 3 modules (trinity) and insert according to the algorithm, which you can see in the picture.

2. Then, using the origami instruction from the first option, we make 2 rows of thirty modules each. We get the following construction.

3. Add 3 more rows. We get a skirt. Just as shown in the first version of the creation of a swan in paragraph No. 9.

4. Next, we collect the modules until the moment when we do not form ten rows. Slightly perish the bottom of the swan for greater stability.

5. We assemble five rows with a plus and stretch the resulting structure and bend it for a more realistic swan body shape.

6. So we got fifteen rows. Now we need to make a neck of six modules, a tail of four and wings of ten. To do this, take the colored corners.

7. First of all, we will collect the neck. We look at the picture.

8. On the opposite side of the neck - we collect the tail.

9. Now wings: in the initial row, ten colored.

10. When we create the second row of wings, we again take the white paper and insert the modules, as shown in the instructions in the picture.

11. For all subsequent rows of wings, we spend 10 modules each.

12. Each wing will produce ten rows. Please note that the wings should be on the same level.

13. When we proceed to the eleventh row of wings, we begin to reduce by one number of modules.

14. So, 770 modules are behind. Our work is almost complete! Look at the image - at this point your swan looks like this.

15. So that your swan can stand on its feet, we glue the modules to the bottom of the structure at an equal distance. We do it as shown in the picture.

16. Then for reliability, glue the second row on the first row.

17. Now create the inside of the swan. To do this, I follow the same algorithm as the beginning of the first part, reduce the number of modules involved, there should now be twenty in a circle.

18. The design will contain seven rows. Pull out the element slightly.

19. We make the inner wings - ten in a row for each.

20. We connect 3 rows.

21. Once again, we begin to reduce the number of modules in the row (by 1 in the following).

22. Add color elements.

23. We now look like in the image.

24. We proceed to the last part of the scheme. We do everything according to the same algorithm, only twelve (12) modules in a circle.

25. We make six rows.

26. Starting from the seventh row, we reduce the number of modules by one.

27. Hooray! The final part is over. Now it remains only to collect them into a single and beautiful swan.

28. We insert it very carefully and, if necessary, slightly push apart the lower parts.

29. If the third part is poorly inserted or does not hold in the structure, you can use glue to fix it.

30. Now the neck: we recommend fixing the first row to the glue, make it from three to four modules. Following in several rows - we reduce by the number of corners and form a neck bend at your discretion. Do not forget to highlight the beak with an orange or red corner.

31. Congratulations! Our master class - a swan of modules, came to an end, and your creation was born in all its glory! Swans can serve as an interesting gift or decoration of a wedding table.

• Use not two, but, for example, three or more colors - similar in shade (or contrasting);
• You can make it interesting by sticking or drawing eyes and cilia;
• Tie your neck with a bow;
• Glue colored pebbles to wings or rhinestones;
• To add effect to the wings of a swan using varnish and special glue with sparkles.

An extravagant little thing, right? So rosy swan It will be not only an original element of your home’s decor, but can also be a great gift. To create such a swan is not so much difficult as for a long time, since it consists of a large number of elements (modules), and of course absolutely manual work. You will see a step-by-step diagram of the modular origami swan below.

The Chinese came up with this technology, they were the first to create volumetric figures from triangular origami modules. The composition consists of a large number of elements of the same type (modules). Each module is composed of one sheet of paper, and then the modules are connected by embedding them into each other.

You can make such a swan origami without glue, the frictional force will not allow the structure to fall apart, but it will be safer to glue the modules together, then the figure can be used as a toy and not be afraid that it will fall apart.

To create modular origami swan you need to connect many modules of different colors, below is their number. It would be nice to make such a complex figure with friends or helpers. You need to take quality paper; color office paper or color coated paper is suitable. Thin paper is better not to use.

As mentioned above, the basis of all origami is the module, let's take a closer look at the scheme of its manufacture.

The module is made from a rectangle of white or colored paper. The aspect ratio of the rectangle should be approximately 1: 1.5. You can get the necessary rectangles by dividing the A4 format into identical parts. It is necessary to divide the short and long sides of A4 format into four equal parts and cut along the designated lines, then we get rectangles of about 53 × 74 mm.

If we divide the long side of A4 into eight parts, and the short into four parts, we get rectangles of 37 × 53 mm.

You can also collect modules from 1/2 square, using blocks for recordings, which you can purchase in office supplies.

howto doorigami triangular module

1. Put the rectangle to ourselves with the reverse side. Fold in half.

2. Bend and unbend to indicate the center line.

3. Bend the edges to the center. (At this point, we turn the part “mountain” to ourselves and fold the edges to the center from the other side. Everyone can find the most suitable method for themselves).

4. Turn over the workpiece.

5. We bend corners. (Note: a small gap must be left between the folded corner and the upper triangle).

6. Raise the edges.

7. Add the triangle.

The resulting module has two corners and two pockets.

How to interconnect modules?

The modules folded according to the indicated scheme can be inserted into each other by various methods and we obtain volumetric figures. Here is one of the valid connection methods:

Build a swan figure

1 red;

136 pink;

90 orange;

60 yellow;

78 greens;

39 blue;

19 purple.

If you wish, you can make a white swan with a red beak, for this, prepare 1 red and 458 white rectangles.
Take the three pink modules and place them as follows.

Insert the corners of the first two modules into the two pockets of the third module.

Take two more modules and attach them in the same way to the first group. This is how the first ring is made. It consists of two rows: the inner row, whose modules are on the short side, and the outer row, whose modules are on the long side.

In each row we have 30 modules. We collect the ring in a chain, carefully holding it with his hands. We close the ends of the chain with the last module.

We take 30 orange modules and collect the third row. Pay attention to the fact that the modules are worn in a checkerboard pattern.

In the same way we collect the fourth and fifth rows, which also consist of thirty orange modules.

Now, holding fingers over the edges of the workpiece, we perform such a movement, as if we want to turn the entire ring inside out. We need to get this form. It resembles a stadium from above.

On the reverse side, the "stadium" looks like this:

We collect the sixth row, which contains 30 yellow modules. Now put them on top. We check that the location of the modules is exactly the same as in the previous rows.

Starting from the seventh row, we proceed to the assembly of the wings. Choose the side on which the swan's head will be. We select one pair of angles (from two adjacent modules). This is the place of the neck. To the left and right of this pair we make a row of 12 yellow modules. That is, the seventh row consists of 24 modules and has two gaps.

We continue to make wings, reducing each further row by one module. Eighth row: 22 green modules (two times 11 each). Ninth row: 20 green modules. Tenth row: 18 green modules.

Eleventh row: 16 blue modules. Twelfth row: 14 blue modules.

Thirteenth row: 12 blue modules. Fourteenth row: 10 blue modules. Fifteenth row: 8 blue modules.

Sixteenth row: 6 purple modules. Seventeenth row: 4 purple modules. Eighteenth Row: 2 Purple Modules. The wings are ready. We give them such a shape that they are convex from the bottom and slightly turned away at the top.

We collect the tail which consists of five rows. In the same way, we reduce the number of modules by one in each row. To collect the tail will go 12 green and 3 blue modules.

In order to assemble the neck, the workpieces must be connected by a different method. We insert two corners of one module into two pockets of another.

We attach 7 violet to the red module. We try to immediately give the neck the necessary bend. If you do not want the swan's beak to be bifurcated, then it is better to glue the corners of the red module first.

Then we attach 6 blue, 6 blue, 6 green and 6 yellow modules. Give the neck the desired shape.

Strengthen the neck at two angles between the wings. Add as desired, details - eyes, bow.

We assemble a stand in the form of two rings. It consists of 36 and 40 modules. We connect the modules in the same way as for the neck.

If desired, we glue the rings and the swan to the stand.

That's it, the origami swan is done. A paper swan as we see it looks very elegant and will be pleasing to the eye for a long time. Having created such a swan for yourself, I think you will not regret the time spent.

Using origami techniques, you can create art from paper. Just a few additions and in front of you is a real bird.

If you can spend more time and effort, you can create a figure from the modules. Read how to make a swan out of paper.

For children, you should not invent complex structures and tasks. Of the materials you need only paper, cardboard, scissors and glue.

Depending on the age of the child, you can help the baby and draw a template.

Follow the steps for creating paper birds:

1. On a sheet of cardboard with a simple pencil, draw a silhouette of a swan.

   It is necessary to cut out a template for the application: do it yourself or entrust the scissors to a child older than 3 years.

2. Now set aside the base, you need to start manufacturing parts. From ordinary A4 sheets, cut strips 2 cm wide and up to 10 cm long.

   Size can be adjusted depending on the pattern: the imitation of feathers can be thinner or longer.

3. Now connect the ends of the strip with glue. For children, it is more convenient to buy a pencil so as not to stain clothes with an accidentally dropped drop.

   The same manipulations must be done with all strips.

4. When the blanks are cut, it is necessary to decorate the base of the swan. Draw beaks and eyes with colored pencils.

   Starting from the top edge, glue paper feathers upwards.

5. Thus form several rows.

Important! Before creative work and during the creation of the bird, explain to the child where the swan lives, how beautiful and noble it is.

You can come up with your own options for crafts. Decorate not only the part where the wings are, but also the neck and head. The beak can be created from another piece of orange cardboard, and the eye can be made black.

In order to surprise the child, help make the baby a two-way option. The paper toy is ready.

Step-by-step instructions for large and small volume swan

Using simple paper tricks, you can create a bird of any size. The larger the sheet of paper, the larger the crafts.

Scissors or glue are not needed to create a small crane.

Just grab a white sheet and follow the directions:

• From the A4 sheet, cut off the top, leaving only the square base (the sides should be equal). The sizes of the base can vary: from a small shred to the size of a Whatman paper.
• Fold the sheet with a triangle, fix the resulting general side of the diagonal well.
• As if folding an airplane, the opposite lower sides should be folded to a common intersecting line.
• The next step is to bring the lower corners to a diagonal bend.
• Connect the top and bottom corner. Thus in the hands was a workpiece folded in half.
• Pull off the sharp corner you get. Shape the head of a swan and beak.
• Now bend the resulting figure in half again and spread the wings of the bird.

Advice! According to this scheme, you can add not only the classic white swan, but also colored cranes.

Schematic diagram of the modular assembly of a swan from paper patterns for cutting

Using the modular technique, folding, you can create real decor elements: baskets, vases or caskets.

Such items will not last long and will not withstand the severity of sweets, but can become an interior decoration. To create a modular swan, follow the instructions described in the table.

Modular connection - the principle of creating volumetric objects in a special origami technique:

Bird Creation Stage	Description
Procurement of parts	Take a small piece of paper, approximately 5 by 5 cm in size. Fold the square with a triangle, then fold again in half in height and bend the extra corners inward. To create a small swan, you will need from 500 elements. Call for help from households and children
Module connection	To attach you will need glue. Install the two elements side by side and glue the parts together.
Body making	Form a semicircle of parts and add several elements in each row. The body in 5-15 rows (depending on the desired result) will be over. It is only necessary to turn the form over to install the following parts of the swan inside
The formation of the tail and neck	From the opposite sides (you can change the color of the paper to pink or yellow), form a part of the neck and tail with a triangle
Making wings	For a uniform result, it is better to form both wings at the same time. Each wing will need about 5 rows. Do incremental expansion with modules. At a certain height, it is necessary to sharpen the ends: remove 1-2 modules from each row
Stand	It is necessary for stability and a neat appearance. Using paper inverted corners, form the base
Inner wings	They are made according to the type of the first wings, but already smaller in size. Make the base 5-6 parts smaller than the body. After 2-3 rows, form the wings, dividing the sides into two parts. Cut the modules around the edges until the wings are finished
The third important detail	The tail needs to be made narrower than the inside with wings. Edges can be highlighted in a different color.
Connection parts	It is necessary to insert and fix internal wings into the body with glue. The next step is to install the tail
Neck	Using the same rows of paper modules form a bend in the neck. Beak can be made of orange paper.

The swan needs to dry for a while. So that the paper does not deform during operation, it is better to use a colorless glue stick.

Modular origami is a technique that allows you to make amazingly beautiful voluminous figures of paper. The difference between this technique and classical origami is that not one, but several sheets of paper are used to create crafts, from which modules are made, which, in turn, are folded to form the desired shape.

One of the striking examples of technology is a swan made of triangular modules. As a result of a simple, but rather painstaking work, you can get a beautiful bird. Depending on what color the paper is at your disposal, you can make a white or color, rainbow swan from the modules.

Looking at photographs of finished figures, it is even theoretically difficult to imagine how to make a swan from modules - it seems to be very complicated and intricate. In fact, there is nothing complicated in the manufacture of figures, it is enough to just study in detail the master class on manufacturing a swan from modules with an assembly diagram and follow the steps described there in sequence.

We bring to your attention a detailed guide consisting of two stages - the manufacture of components and the assembly of the finished product.

How to make a swan from modules?

First you need to make modules. To do this, you just need sheets of plain xerox paper, white or color, depending on what you want to get as a result.

Progress:

1. A sheet of A4 paper is folded in half in width.

2. Bend again in half.

3. And bend again in half.

4. We unfold and flip so that the fold lines are vertical.

5. Again, fold the sheet in half, but in a different direction.

6. And fold it in half again.

7. We unfold and cut or tear the sheet along the fold lines in such a way that we get 32 \u200b\u200brectangles.

8. We take one of the rectangles and proceed to the manufacture of the module.

9. Bend in half.

10. Now bend across the first bend line.

11. Expand and fold the bottom corners inward towards each other.

12. Fold the top corners as shown in the photo.

13. And now bend the top part down to eventually make a triangle.

14. The resulting triangle is folded in half.

15. We repeat similar actions with other paper rectangles.

16. We got a triangular module with a pocket so that you can insert another into it.

How many modules do you need for a swan?

The number of blanks directly depends on the assembly scheme and the size of the future bird. For example, the assembly diagram below uses 458 white triangles and one red. Reducing their number and simplifying assembly, you can get a small swan from the modules.

Swan assembly from triangular modules

1. We arrange the three modules in the order shown in the picture.

2. Insert the corners of the two upper modules into the bottom pocket.

3. Similarly, we attach two more triangles to the structure.

4. We insert 3 pairs of triangles into the end modules.

5. We proceed in a similar way.
6. Using 30 modules, we get this design.

7. Add 3 more rows, in total 5 rows of modules should be obtained.

8. By clicking on the structure in the middle, we turn it inside out.

9. We bend the edges up to learn the bowl, as in the picture.

10. View of the structure from below.

11. By the same principle as before, we put on a number of modules 6 and 7.

12. Starting from the 8th row, we proceed to the construction of the wings of the swan. To do this, put 8 next to 12 modules, skip 2 and attach another 12. At the place where 2 triangles are missing, there will be a neck, in the remaining section of 7 rows - the tail of a swan.

13. In the 9th row, each wing of the swan is reduced by 1 triangle.
14. We continue further, with each row reducing the wings by 1 until there is only one module left.

15. We make the tail, similarly reducing the row by 1 module.

16. For the neck and head we take 19 white and 1 red module in which we glue the corners so that we get a beak.
17. We begin to collect the neck by inserting the corners of one module into the pockets of another.

18. We bend the structure with a hook.

19. The final step is to insert the neck between the wings of the swan.
20. A swan of paper modules is ready.

From the modules you can make other crafts, for example,
