How to make the origami Baby Dragon
Designed by Jo Nakashima (22/Apr/2015)
Difficulty level: low intermediate
The origami Baby Dragon was based on my origami Chinchilla. The outer layers of the body became the wings and I made horns instead of the ears.
I used a similar base on my origami mouse (2020) and squirrel (2018).
Paper
I’m using 20cm x 20cm red tissue-foil in this tutorial. Special paper is not required for this model, regular 15cm x 15cm origami paper works well for this model.
Diagrams
Notice: at first I’ve made these diagrams only for the video, not to be published separately. For this reason, some transitions or steps might not be so clear. If you find some step difficult, you can find more detailed instructions in the video tutorial.
