Origami Dragon Video
& Instructions
The origami dragon video below will show you how to make a great dragon from a single piece of paper. This wonderful piece of art is an original design by Robyn Hondow. It's cool, simple, and easier to fold compared to other popular models!
Dragons are mythical creatures of many cultures. They are a symbol of strength, power, wisdom, success, and fortune and have fascinated mankind for thousand of years. Even in this modern age, these magical beings still appear in magazines, books, movies and artworks.
The origami dragon is one of the most challenging yet rewarding designs to make on the Origami Fun website. Don’t worry if you don’t get it first time. I often fold the same model many times to get the best result!
Materials You Need
You only need one sheet of paper, about 30cm x 30cm in size. I'd recommend you use fairly thin paper. If you use thick paper or card, it will get difficult to fold the legs and head. Thinner paper works much better, but then you need to be more careful to avoid tearing the paper in some of the reverse folds.
Be creative by folding this in different colors to imitate the most common dragon colors. If you don’t have origami paper, use wrapping paper or gift wrap. It is thin, and you can get large sheets or rolls of it.
