An origami titmouse
As I promised you at the start of the week, here is a little tutorial to learn how to fold paper tits! You are free to make a mobile, a garland or slip it into a letter as a token of affection...
- Take a sheet of 15x15 cm square origami paper
- Place it white side towards you and mark the creases (fold and unfold) of the two diagonals.
- Fold diagonally.
- Rotate the triangle slightly to make it straight...
- ...And fold the tip of the top of your pyramid downwards, respecting the proportions indicated in the drawing.
- Fold the bottom point of the triangle up and fold where the line indicates.
- You get the following result.
- Open the triangle to reveal the white side of the paper and form a diamond.
- Rotate the figure like this, take the top point...
- ...and fold it down, overlapping the two halves of the figure.
- Fold the figure along the line shown in the picture to get a wing (just the top layer of paper). And repeat the operation on the other side to make the second wing.
- Form the beak by bending the left tip, along the line.
- Using scissors, lightly cut the wings as indicated to form feathers and give more volume to your bird.
