How to make an origami Phoenix
Designed by Jo Nakashima (03/Aug/2018)
Difficulty level: Complex
This model was inspired by Fawkes the Phoenix from Harry Potter books/movies. It is similar to the simplified version of my origami Eagle, but with a longer tail and a crest on the head.
Paper
In this tutorial I’m using a 20cm x 20cm sheet of Red Tissue-foil paper (click here to buy it). Here are some recommended papers for best results:
- Deluxe Washi Red (buy it here) – this is the paper I used in the first Phoenix shown in the video and the picture in the thumbnail
- Sandwich Paper Red (buy it here) – this paper is amazing, highly recommended for complex models! But if you want the color change, you need to paint or glue another sheet on one side.
Diagrams
Diagrams for the origami Phoenix are not available yet. Watch the tutorial to learn how to make it!
