How to Make an Origami Goose
1.) You will need a square sheet of paper. You can make any rectangular sheet into a square by folding the upper right corner down level with the base as you see here. |
2.) Then just cut off the excess. |
3.) And v'oila, a perfect square. |
|
4.) Next fold your paper in half. |
5.) Now bring the upper right corner down to the center and make a sharp crease. |
6.) Turn the paper over. |
|
7.) Now repeat step 5 on this side. |
8.) Grab the paper in the center and open it up. You might want to blow inside it to help it open. |
9.) Open it wide and lay it out flat into a square shape. |
|
10.) This is what it should look like at this stage. |
11.) Next take the left top fold and bring it in to the center. Crease it sharply and make sure that it meets at a point at the bottom. |
12.) Now bring the top right fold and fold it into the center and crease sharply, making a point at the bottom. |
|
13.) Turn it over. It should still be square on the back. |
14.) Repeat steps 11 & 12. |
15.) Lay the top flaps open and gently lift up the top layer so that you can see inside. |
|
16.) The idea here is to REVERSE the folds you made in step 14. Gently nudge the left side inward until the paper reverses and folds into the interior. |
17.) Do the same thing on the right side folds. |
18.) Now lay it open and press all edges firmly. It will look like a diamond with an open slit down the middle. |
|
19.) Now turn the paper over. |
20.) Repeat steps 15-18. It should look like this on both sides now. |
21.) This is what it will look like from the side. |
|
22.) Now bring the top left and top right sides into the center again like you did in steps 11 & 12. Crease firmly. |
23.) Turn it over and repeat step 22 on the back. It will look like this when you are finished. |
24.) Place your thumb at the center and carefully pull up the left "leg" into the body, reversing the fold as you do. |
|
25.) Now do the same thing on the right side. Your goose is almost finished. |
26.) Fold one of the long tips into a head as you see here. |
27.) This is what it looks like so far. |
|
28.) The final folds are the wings. Simply bend them down. |
29.) No go ahead and decorate her. Be sure to make some more too. Remember, geese are happiest when with a gaggle, that's a bunch of them. You should never let them be alone! |
