Origami: How to fold an Angel

Angels are thought as God overseas.

What would you imagine, speaking of angels?

A ring on top of the head, wings on the back…

We can imagine an adorable figure

which calmly flies in the sky, smiling on its face, right?♥

Let’s try to fold such a cute angel with origami paper!う★

How to fold an Angel Ver.1

We will make a face and a body individually

and put them together at the end.

We have two types of costumes

so you can choose your favorite one!★

1. First, we will make a face. Fold it in half twice to make two creases.

2. Fold the bottom corner up to the middle.

3. Fold it up along the middle crease again.

4. Fold the top corner down along the dotted line.

5. Fold both sides so that both corner will meet.

6. Fold both sides along the dotted lines and make creases.

7. Open the top triangle.

8. Turn it over.

9. Fold three corners along the dotted lines. (a valley fold)

10. Fold both corners up along the dotted lines.

11. Turn it over.

12. Draw a face and…

13. A face is done!

14. Next, we’ll make a body. Fold it in half so that the colored-side comes inside.

15. Fold only the top sheet down along the dotted line.

16. Fold the bottom triangle up along the dotted line.

17. Open it up.

18. Fold it so that the crease that you made in No.16

will overlap in a diagonal line as picture No.16 shows.

19. Turn it over.

20. Fold it down along the dotted line.

21. Fold it so that two corners will meet each other.

22. Open it up.

23. Fold the top part behind along the dotted line.

24. One type of the body is done!

25. It will be like this below if we put it with its face together.

26. If you do a valley fold instead of a mountain fold in the procedure No.23,

you can make another type of costume.

Both of them are cute, aren’t they?

You can choose your favorite color for hair and costumes!

You can enjoy drawing different types of expressions as well!♥
