How to make an origami Peacock v2
Designed by Jo Nakashima (Aug/2020)
Difficulty level: hard
In this tutorial you’ll learn how to make an origami Peacock step by step. In this version I’ve added more pleat folds to make the spread feathers and, in addition, I also made the crest on its head. With this approach it is not possible to make really big feathers, but I still like how it looks.
It’s not really a complex model, but some steps can be tricky for beginners. If you think 20m 19s is easy, you should be able to make this model with no problems. If this is too hard, try the Peacock v1 or the Pigeon (it’s a similar model, but much easier).
Paper
In the tutorial I’m using 20cm x 20cm Copper Tissue-foil, but special paper is not required. Standard 15cm x 15cm origami paper works as well.
Diagrams
Diagrams for the Peacock v2 are not available yet. Watch the tutorial to learn how to make it!
