hey guys in this video I'm gonna show you how to
make an origami flapping bird like this one here so all you'll need is a square
sheet of paper I'm gonna to use origami paper or a
piece of printer paper I have a link in the description on how to make a square
piece out of printer paper also I'm gonna go at a slow pace and be as clear
as possible but keep in mind if it is too fast you can click pause and you
could also on the bottom sidebar here click on the gear icon and slow down the
speed of the video with that being said let's get started
what you're going to want to do is fold one corner down to the other making a
diagonal fold increase now unfold and fold the other corner down to this
corner here and make a crease now unfold now you're going to want to flip it over
and take one side and fold it over to the other just like this lie in the
corners and make a crease now unfold and fold the top edge down to the bottom
line the edges and make a crease now unfold alright so now on the side that
where you did the two folds this way what you going to do is turn the paper
diagonally like this and along these two lines here you're going to want to fold
the paper and bring these two edges down to the bottom just like this and then
tuck these two in and as you kind of do it you'll see that all the creases will
just kind of fall together you want to press those down and then take this top
part here and just press it down along all the creases
and then just kind of evenly crease everything down like that so now you
have this with four different flaps and the paper most of the paper here on the
bottom now what you're going to want to do is take this side edge here just the
top one and fold this edge to the center crease here aligning it and then once
you have it aligned start from the bottom and crease it upward like that
now do the same thing on the other side take this edge and fold it in to the
center crease here align the edges crease starting from the bottom and give
it a nice good crease now flip it over and do the same thing on the other side
so take this edge I'll line it to the middle and give it a nice good crease do
the same thing on the other side
and give it a good crease now what you're going to do is leave these two
fold it in flip it back over and fold the other sides in along the creases
that you already made and now it should look like this now unfold these two here
and what you're gonna want to do is fold this top kind of triangular part here
down to crease right at the top of these two creases here and align this center
line just like that and unfold now you're gonna want to we'll start with
this side we're going to be taking just this top layer of paper and along this
new crease right here that we just made we're going to fold it out holding this
top triangle down fold this up creasing it here and taking these two edges and
fold them here into the middle and you can start with the bottom piece here
like that fold them in give them a good crease and then work your way to the top
and give it a good crease as well
all right now once you have that we're going to want to flip it over and we're
going to unfold these two flaps here and then this top crease here we already
folded it the other way on the other side now we're going to want to
reinforce this crease and fold it down this way and give it a nice good crease
making sure that the center line lines up and now you match those two corners
there and fold it up and now we're gonna do the same thing and take just the
bottom top piece of paper here fold it up along this crease here fold it up and
kind of bring these two edges of the paper in start kind of creasing it from
the bottom and work your way up to the top just like that
now it should look like this and you have the the two separate parts on the
bottom now we're gonna take you have four kind of sections here you're going
to want to take one side here and fold it over to the left so now that you have
three on one side and just one on the other and now flip it over and take the
one that has the three and fold the top flap over to side a house just the one
so now it looks like this so basically you're taking it from from here and just
folding everything the opposite way to make it look like this now we're going
to start with the one side here we're going to want to bring this down just
kind of gently pull and kind of let the paper fold in and fold in kind of
pinching it down there and you're gonna want to where you're going to want to
pinch and crease it you want these two edges here to align so once you bring it
down to those two edges of line and kind of put it on
the table here and give it a nice good crease and now do the same thing on the
other side pull this out push you know push that part down and have it have it
tuck and line up with this side like that and now we're going to want to pick
one side and we're gonna make the head so you're gonna want to pinch this open
and kind of pick a spot and push it down pinch the two tops parts together and
crease it like that so now we're going to make their wings and we're gonna fold
these flaps up along the crease that we've already made through the other
folds so you want to fold that side up and flip it over and fold this side up
as well and now we're gonna fold the wings down and the trick is we're gonna
be folding it down from this corner here right at this angle to where these two
pieces of paper met meet I mean and I've already drawn a line where we're going
to make the fold so we'll go ahead and fold that down and give it a good crease
and I'll flip it over and do it on the other side and now you could either
align it along those two corners that I have outlined there or you can just fold
it down and align it with the other wing that we fold it down and give it a good
crease and now the last thing we're gonna do is fold those kind of up and
out of the way is take these two bottom parts here we already have a crease here
that I don't have outlined but you can kind of fold these out along those
crease just a little bit on each side to give the bird two little legs to be able
to stand up on its own like that so now with that being said the way to make it
flat you can it I found it it works better if you keep
these up a little bit and pull on the tail like that and it'll flap now the
trick is when it's like this you don't want to pull this down that doesn't make
the flap you have to pull it out like this so when you do that it flaps so
with that being said I hope this tutorial was helpful if it did help you
make one please like and leave a comment too if this was easy to make I want
these to be as easy and clear as possible and also feel free to leave a
comment to on any other origami models that you would like me to make I'll be
glad to make those tutorials so with that being said thanks for watching and
enjoy the next video
