How to make an origami Ant
Designed by Jo Nakashima (09/2022)
Difficulty level: complex
In this video you’ll learn how to make an origami ant from a single square sheet of paper. It is a box pleated model based on a 32×32 grid.
This origami ant isn’t too difficult to fold, there are no tricky steps. For best results use thin paper with at least 20cm x 20cm (or 15cm x 15cm if your paper is really good and you are experienced). Printer paper works for learning and you can print the crease pattern to make it easily.
You can wet-shape the legs in the end for better results if your paper allows it.
