The scheme for creating a modular origami snowman from paper for beginners. Master class with photo
The origami New Year snowman is easy to assemble,is accessible even to a child. The assembly diagram of a New Year's snowman from origami contains the assembly of two spherical figures. We will make this New Year's snowman from modules:We fold the triangular modules according to the usual pattern.The snowman requires 946 white and 176 colored modules, it turns out to be quite large. But you can assemble a snowman of a smaller size, reducing the number of modules, preserving the assembly principle or assemble it from smaller modules.
For the first two circles, we will prepare 34 modules each. We will connect them in this way.
We insert the corners into the pockets.
We assemble a chain: 4 modules in the first row, 4 in the second.
We immediately assemble the third row.
We build up a chain of three rows at once.
In each row you need to collect 34 modules.
We close the modules into a ring.
We turn this ring over, slightly twisting it.outward. We add modules, adding 6 modules in the fourth row, that is, on a pair of adjacent corners, instead of one module, we string two identically along the perimeter. We got a row with 40 modules.
We continue to increase the rows of 40 modules each.
The big ball contains 16 rows (including the first onerow). During assembly, a spherical shape is not immediately obtained. But the whole figure is quite flexible. Imagine that you are holding a clay pot in your hands. You need to dip your fingers inside and gradually bend the walls, giving the necessary shape. We make the last row 4 modules smaller. To reduce by two modules, we need to put a couple of modules not on 4, but on 6 corners.
We put on the first row of the head, stringing the modules at right angles outward.
We assemble the next row as usual.
We continue to assemble rows of 36 modules.
There are 9 rows (including the first one). We form a ball from them. The base for the snowman is ready.
We make hands, mouth and eyebrows by rolling flagella from strips of corrugated paper. Eyes can be made from velvet paper or from ready-made toy fittings.
The snowman's nose is a paper cone.
We glue all this to the figure made from modules.You will probably say that classic modular origami is assembled without glue and you will be slightly wrong. Only the modules themselves are assembled without glue, decorations and fittings are mainly glued.
We start to assemble the snowman's hat - 3 rows of 22 modules, close into a ring and turn inside out.
For brightness, you can assemble 1 row of a hat in a different color.
The hat consists of 8 rows in total. We put it on the snowman.
We decorate a New Year's snowman made from origami, with a colored ribbon-scarf and beads and buttons.
