Origami: How to fold a Seagull

When we go to the sea,

we can see some seagulls flying gracefully at the surface of the sea.

We can see the note of the seagulls only in the sea, right?★

Today, I’ll show you two types of origami seagulls.

Since they are both easy to fold, let’s make them with your children!♥

How to fold a Seagull Ver.1

This one is very easy.

But it looks just like a real seagull.

Even small children can make it.♪

1. Fold it in half and make a crease.

2. Fold both corners to the crease along the dotted lines.

3. Fold it in half.

4. Fold it in half again.

5. Turn it over.

6. Fold it in half to make a shape of V, along the dotted line.

7. Fold each tip toward outside along the dotted lines.

8. And it’s done!

It was a quick an easy seagull, right?

It’s as if it was flying on the surface of the sea comfortably, right?

If you put it on the wall, it will be a cool interior too.♥

How to fold a Seagull Ver.2

This is the seagull with a face.

The point of this type is how you can make the feather round at the end.★

1. Fold it in half twice and make two creases along the dotted lines.

2. Fold it at a little left from the crease. (a valley fold)

3. Fold it along the dotted line.  (a mountain fold)

4. Fold only the top sheet to the left side along the dotted line.

5. Fold the other sheet to the left side along the dotted line too.

6. Fold it to the right side along the dotted line.

7. Turn it over.

8. Fold it in half. (a mountain fold)

9.Fold the feather part up along the dotted line.

Fold it the same way for the other side too.

10. Make the feather parts round.

11. Draw eyes and it’s done!

If you make the feather parts as round as possible,

it will be just like the real seagull!

It’s stylish if you put some of them together with string and hang it too.♥
