Origami modules for beginners

Origami modules allows you to create paper shapes of any complexity, size, and configuration. It's like the constructor, only every detail is made by hand and the details of these sometimes requires very hard. But what is the result! Almost live animals and birds, stunning flowers, buildings and structures, even toys – which not only make the origami masters out of simple triangles.

To learn origami modules do not require a lot of time. Main – to learn how to build the module itself. It is best to see how do experienced master, or just find the video on the Internet, where slowly and with explanations of the show on the fingers. Once the detail work is good, you can pick up the scheme. Modular origami is often stacked going in circles. By the addition of subtraction of elements at each layer figure constrict or dilate, respectively. The details of the figure can be separated and end independently, like the wings of birds, tree branches, etc.

The First step in creating origami out of modules is the manufacture of the module. To create it you will need a rectangle of paper, amounting to 1/16 or 1/32 part of a sheet of A4. In other words, from 1 album sheet will be 16 or 32 module, depending on the size of the future figure. To make the shape more graceful, it is better to perform the parts of the rectangles of smaller size, dividing the short side of the sheet into 4 parts, and long – 8.

Fold the rectangle in half across the width so that it became 2 times smaller. Now fold in half again, but lengthwise. Mark the fold line and unfold. Then this line, that is, the middle, fold one of the upper edges of the angle, this is very similar to the Assembly of the paper boat. Then fold and the second edge. Part of the sides will protrude above the part a few millimeters. They need to bend backwards, and the corners, the remainder hanging around – inside. Now was just the right isosceles triangle, which has only fold in half along the Central crease line, which is already scheduled. Fold to the outer corner of the module formed 2 pockets.

When several modules are ready, try to connect them: the corners of one are inserted in the pockets of the other two, and thus forming shapes. Sometimes they are fixed with glue, sometimes – no, it all depends on the preferences of the wizard.

Origami making of the modules requires the prior calculation of the number of components of a particular color, but the beauty of this activity is that you can always change the idea as you go, to alter any part without loss of quality. Of course, this is possible only if in the process of gathering you do not paste the details to each other. Paper is better to take dense, not thinner than 80 g per square meter, and color to choose bilateral – it and the front and the reverse side painted, work much more convenient.

Perfect for reference with the practice of modular origami diagram of the “Tree of modules”.

1. Bottom tier. The base consists of 15 modules, assembled in a circle: 7 (inside), which are strung with 8 pockets (outside). Then for each pair of the 8-outer is built 1 incomplete pair of modules, so the base becomes 5 rays and it begins to resemble a snowflake. Further, each ray is built up to the value required by the idea.
2. The Adapter. Going as the beginning layer, consists of 2 rows, or 15 modules.
3. Second tier. Going as the first, but of smaller diameter.
4. The Adapter.
5. Third level…

Next, you should recruit a sufficient number of tiers of snowflakes, the top consists of 6 or 8 modules.
