How to make an origami Scorpion
Designed by Jo Nakashima
Level: Complex
In this video you’ll learn how to make an origami scorpion. It starts with a 32×32 grid, so I recommend using very thin paper because there will be a lot of layers. You can use regular origami paper or printer paper to learn or test if you’re able to fold it, but it’s not possible to do the shaping very well with these papers.
The paper used in this video was 25cm x 25cm Kraft Alios from origami-shop. It is an excellent paper for complex models because it’s super thin and resistant.
Crease Pattern
32×32 grid. Grayed out corners are unused (just mountain fold them).

Simplified version
The simplified version has shorter legs and tail, but works with smaller sheets of paper (even standard origami paper 15cm x 15cm works!).
