How to make a dinosaur out of paper: two ways

Sometimes it becomes unclear what is the attraction of children to these ancient lizards. Perhaps your child is interested in these unusual creatures. Try to make an interesting craft with him, and to do this, first, read how to make a dinosaur out of paper.

Variants of crafts and necessary materials

In this article, two versions of the paper figure "Dinosaur" are given. Let's consider a detailed step-by-step description of each technology. To craft in the style of origami, you need to use a fairly dense colored paper. It is desirable that it be the same on both sides. This condition must be observed, since in finished products (both origami and simplified models) all the facets of the material are visible. And it will not be very nice, if the craft is not painted everywhere.

For the second model, you will need color cardboard, scissors, glue, a simple pencil, markers or colored pencils and brads (rotational elements).

The first stage is how to make a dinosaur out of paper

So, let's get to work. Each of the items described below has its own picture, which clearly demonstrates the whole process, how the dinosaur folds from the paper with their own hands. Follow the instructions, following all steps as precisely as possible:

• Take a square piece of paper to work and fold it diagonally. Arrange the workpiece in front of you, unfolding it in the form of a diamond, taking into account the horizontal direction of the fold line.
• Top and bottom corner, move to the middle and fold, so that the left sides of the square close on the diagonal line. Repeat the action for the right planes.
• Lift the top right-aligned surfaces, slightly turning them out and pulling out the left sides.
• As a result, the faces will be located "house". Bend them in the left direction, and then wrap the entire workpiece by 19 ° around its horizontal axis.

The second stage is how to make a dinosaur out of paper

Having received the preliminary preparation, it is now necessary to turn it into a figure similar to a dinosaur.

• Expand the layout in front of you in such a way that the craft is like a triangle. Raise the right acute angle upwards and simultaneously dip a piece of paper blank to the left.
• As a result, you will get improvised wings and the upper part of the trunk of the dinosaur. Mark a diagonal crease about 1/3 the height of the neck. Bend the paper along this line, tilt the head forward.
• Form the nose of the lizard by pressing the sharp corner inward (see the enlarged image).
• Unbend the edges of the wings, folding a little obliquely the paper corners. The tail is made by inserting a part inside the craft and bending it for clarity. Draw a marker with your pen. This will give the work of completeness.

Having learned how to make a dinosaur made of paper in the style of origami, you can try your hand at making other models.

We make from a paper a mobile dinosaur mockup

Of course, very original crafts can be made using origami art. From paper dinosaurs can also be made by combining individual parts. To do this, draw details: a large oval (trunk), two rounded corners (paws), a long wide tail and a neck with a head (like a giraffe). Let these parts, let us say, be green. Then for the design of the legs, cut out a few small rectangles, for example, orange. Stick them on the bottom as claws. From paper of the same color, make small triangles ("mane" along the ridge) and glue it along the upper line of the trunk. Collect all the cut details, forming a dinosaur mockup. At the junction points, set the brads. Draw an eye with a felt-tip pen or colored pencils. A simple hand-made article with rotating parts is ready. It is sure to please children of preschool age.
