Overview
Origami is a fascinating art form, and making an origami Squirtle is a great way to get started. The Squirtle is a popular Pokemon character and creating it with just paper and scissors can be a fun and rewarding experience. If you have patience and follow the instructions below, you will have a beautiful origami Squirtle in no time.
Gather Materials
You will need a few basic supplies to make your origami Squirtle. You will need a square piece of paper that is large enough for your Squirtle. You can use any kind of paper, but it is best to use a type of paper that is not too thin or too thick. You will also need a pair of scissors and a pen or pencil for making the Squirtle’s details.
Fold the Paper
Start by folding the paper into a triangle. To do this, take the top corner and fold it down to meet the bottom corner. Make sure the edges are straight and that the triangle is even. Next, fold the triangle in half again by bringing the top corner to the bottom corner. Turn the paper over and fold the triangle in half again. You should now have a smaller triangle with four layers of paper.
Create the Body
Now take the top corner of the triangle and fold it down to the bottom corner. Make sure to keep the edges straight and the fold even. You should now have a small triangle with a long, thin rectangle underneath it. This will be the body of the Squirtle. Take the two ends of the rectangle and fold them inwards so that the paper looks like a diamond shape.
Create the Head and Legs
Fold the top corner of the diamond down and tuck it into the pocket at the bottom of the diamond. This will create the head of the Squirtle. Take the two ends of the diamond and fold them up, creating two small triangles. These will be the legs of the Squirtle. To finish the legs, fold the two triangles in half, creating two small rectangles.
Detail the Squirtle
Now you can start to add the details to your Squirtle. Take a pen or pencil and draw the eyes, nose, and mouth on the head. You can also add the ears, shell, and tail if you want. To finish your Squirtle, fold the two legs up so that they are standing upright.
Conclusion
Making an origami Squirtle is a great way to get started in the art of origami. With patience and practice you can make a beautiful Squirtle that will be a great addition to any collection. So grab a piece of paper and get started!
