      Origami Dinosaurs - Belinda Webster

      INTRODUCTION

      Get ready for some fearsome folding as we explore the world of dinosaur origami. You’ll learn how to make everything from Triceratops to T. rex, and even create your own set of dino claws!

      A lot of the origami models in this book are made with the same folds and basic designs, known as bases. This introduction explains some of the ones that will appear most, so it’s a good idea to master these folds and bases before you start. When making the projects, follow the key below to find out what the lines and arrows mean.

      KEY

      Valley fold

      Mountain fold

      Cut with scissors

      Push

      Rotate

      Direction to move paper

      Turn paper over

      Apply glue

      Step fold

      VALLEY FOLD

      To make a valley fold, fold the paper toward you, so that the crease is pointing away from you, like a valley.

      MOUNTAIN FOLD

      To make a mountain fold, fold the paper so that the crease is pointing up toward you, like a mountain.

      STEP FOLD

      A step fold is used to make a zigzag in the paper. We’ll use it to make ears, tails, and other dino features.

      1

      Valley fold the paper in half. Then make a mountain fold directly above the valley fold.

      2

      Push the mountain fold down over the valley fold and press down flat.

      3

      You now have a step fold. You can also make it in reverse, with the mountain fold first.

      INSIDE REVERSE FOLD

      This is a useful fold if you want to flatten part of an origami model. It’s a good way to create tails and snouts for your dinosaurs.

      1

      Fold a piece of paper diagonally in half. Make a valley fold on one corner and crease.

      2

      It’s important to make sure that the paper is creased well. Run your finger over the crease two or three times.

      3

      Refold the crease you just made into a mountain fold, then unfold. Open up the corner slightly.

      4

      Open up the paper a little more and then tuck the tip of the corner inside. Close the paper. This is the view from the underside of the paper.

      3

      Flatten the paper. You now have an inside reverse fold.

      OUTSIDE REVERSE FOLD

      This is great if you want to make part of your model stick out. It will come in handy for making heads and crests.

      1

      Fold a piece of paper diagonally in half. Make a valley fold on one corner and crease.

      2

      It’s important to make sure that the paper is creased well. Run your finger over the crease two or three times.

      3

      Refold the crease you just made into a mountain fold, then unfold. Open up the corner slightly.

      4

      Open up the paper a little more and start to turn the corner inside out. Then close the paper when the fold begins to turn.

      5

      You now have an outside reverse fold. You can either flatten the paper or leave it rounded out.

      KITE BASE

      1

      Place your paper like this. Valley fold it in half from left to right.

      2

      Valley fold the left-hand point over to the middle crease.

      3

      Repeat step 2 on the other side.

      4

      You now have a kite base.

      FISH BASE

      1

      Make a kite base, as shown above. Valley fold the left-hand point to the central crease.

      2

      Do the same on the other side.

      3

      The paper should now look like this.

      4

      Open out the top left corner. Take hold of the inside flap and pull it down to meet the middle crease to make a new flap as shown.

      5

      Flatten the paper. Then do the same on the other side.

      6

      You now have a fish base.

      WATERBOMB BASE

      1

      Make a fold from top to bottom and unfold. Then make a fold from left to right and unfold.
