How to make Santa Claus from origami?
To make Santa Claus with the help ofOrigami, you will have to use a modular scheme. To do this, you need to create small modules that will be the connecting elements of your future concept.Below is a picture that will show,what shape should the modules be for subsequent DIY implementation. First of all, assemble the chain into three rows using white modules. For each row, twenty-five modules are needed. Then, the chain must be secured in a ring. After - the ring must be turned out. Next, you need to complete the fourth row. For this, you will need twenty-five blue modules. You need to start making the beard for our Santa Claus already in the fifth row. For this, you need to insert three white modules, using the short sides outward.
For the sixth row you need to secure twenty oneblue module, also four white modules above the same modules in the third row. The arrangement of the white modules, like the blue ones, must be done on the outside. Put them on so that they protrude forward. For the seventh row, it is necessary to fix five white modules, as well as twenty blue modules. For the eighth row, you will need six white modules and nineteen blue modules. For the ninth row, we will use seven white modules, as well as eighteen blue modules. Then, we will make the tenth row, which will consist of twenty-five white modules. They must be put on so that they are exactly at the tips of the modules for the ninth row. For the eleventh row, you need to put on one red module (for Santa Claus's mouth), as well as twenty-four white modules. For the twelfth row, you will need two white ones, also for the mouth, also two pink ones and nineteen white modules, and then two pink modules again. The thirteenth row should be done using seven pink modules and eighteen white modules. For the fourteenth, you will need eight pink modules and seventeen white modules. Next, you need to give your figure the necessary shape. Then, we will start making Santa's hat. In order to make the desired shape, you need to press your finger inside the craft so that the head turns out round. Then, you need to fluff up the hair and beard. Do the same on the outside so that the face turns out flat.
For the fifteenth row you will need twentytwo white modules. Then, to reduce the modules in the rows, three pairs of modules must be put on not 2 corners as before, but 3. For the sixteenth row, twenty blue modules must be secured, and for the seventeenth row - eighteen modules of the same color. For the eighteenth row, nine white modules will be needed. They must be inserted through one to skip two corners. (Figure 9)
Next, we make the hand of our Santa Claus. To do this, we need to prepare nine blue modules and three white modules. We need to connect the three blue modules, like in Figure 10.
Then, you need to put on three blue modules. To do this, you need to secure the outer modules. This can be done using the pockets for the external object (Figure 11).
Next, you need to put on two blue modules, and then three white modules. (Figure 12).
Connect the figure using the blue connection module (Figure 13)
Then, you need to cut out the mitten and glue it next to (between) the white modules. Organize the second hand using the same scheme. Your blank is done!
