Folding ships with origami - two models
Are you looking for creative play and handicraft ideas for school children? Why don't you try ...
- First of all, you fold the rectangular paper into the so-called. Helmet, a basic shape that is not difficult to make. To do this, fold the book over the short middle section, i.e. fold the rectangle in the middle.
- Now fold the lower part of the book up in the middle, but open it again. This break is only used to mark the center.
- Now turn your work so that the opening of the book is facing down.
- As with the well-known ship, fold the upper right and upper left edge to the (marked) middle break. This creates two triangles - the top of the helmet.
- Now fold the lower (resting) edge up to the triangles and bend the two protruding small triangles backwards.
- Turn your origami work over and fold the edge up there in the same way.
- For the little red riding hood, lay your helmet in front of you so that you can see the two triangles. The tip of the helmet points upwards.
- Now fold the top of the helmet down a few inches. This triangle shouldn't reach the edge. If the border is very wide, slide the folded triangle underneath.
- Glue the triangle in place with craft glue.
- Now fold the two outer triangles of the helmet to the left and right of this triangle. Make sure that there is a straight break.
- Fold the triangles back so that only the break remains - this way the hat can be shaped better.
- Now you have to pull the hat wide at the lower edge and shape it into a small box with the help of the two folds that have just been folded. This step is actually harder than any other. Smaller children in particular need help with this.
- Now you need two ribbons, which are attached to the left and right - and Little Red Riding Hood can set off with cake and wine.
