How to make an origami scorpion (simplified version)
Designed by Jo Nakashima (06/2022)
Level: complex
In this video you will learn how to fold the simplified version of my origami scorpion. The structure is very similar to the original version, but it’s based on a 24×24 grid (instead of the 32×32). The legs and tail are shorter, but now it has fewer layers and even 15cm x 15cm standard origami paper works. If you have thinner paper it’s even better: the first scorpion shown in the video (compared to a coin) was made from 9cm x 9cm Kraft Alios paper!
