Making modules for swan origami
Before making a swan origami, it is necessary to make many modules, from which they then form a bird. The swan from the modules turns out like a real one. Yes, and more and more people want to make a bird from the modules. The reason is understandable, it is this bird that looks graceful and beautiful in this form. However, when some find out how many modular triangles are required for this, the hunt immediately disappears. If you firmly decide to make such a figure with your own hands, then start work immediately. Labor, although painstaking, it is worth it.
For the manufacture of swans, you will need to make modules or, as they are also called - triangles. Thanks to them, you can make a swan larger or smaller (depending on the number and size of the modules themselves).
For the manufacture of modules, you need:
- sheets A4
- scissors, ruler, pencil
- enamel for painting triangles
- glue.
IMPORTANT: The sizes of models can be adjusted yourself. If you want to make a large bird, then divide the leaf into thirty -two parts, but by sixteen.
How to make triangular modules for a swan?
- Take a regular A4 sheet and divide it using a ruler and a triangle into 32 equal parts. In order to turn out, the length should be divided into eight parts, and the width of the sheet by four. Then cut these rectangles and take one, bend it as in the image above in half.
- Again, a rectangle will come out, which should also be bent in half. Then straighten it and form a triangle, bending the corners of the rectangle to the central line of the rectangle, as in the third position of the image above.
- Turn the triangle and bent the edges, then bend the corners so that an isosceles triangle comes out.
- After heating and fold small triangles along the fold lines. Raise them up.
- Bend the finished triangle in half.
The whole triangle module is ready. Thanks to the pockets that were formed after the creation of triangles and corners and the process of assembling the swan and other products in the technique of origami occurs.

- about 458 triangles
- prepare the tape for decoration
- 1 red module.
Master Class:
- In each row of the body of the bird there will be thirty modules. First, two circles of triangles are collected from the modules. To do this, the left base of the triangle is put on the right corner of the top of the module, so 60 elements are collected in the first two circles. The last chain module closes the ring of the circle.
- After one circle, collect from the third to the fifth row.
- The finished workpiece should be turned to the other, wrong side. Then the next circle of triangular modules is collected in the same method.
- In the next row they begin to make wings. To make the head, you need to leave two corners. Twelve modules are attached to both sides. So the seventh circle consists of twenty -four triangles.
- In each subsequent circles for the formation of wings, one element should be removed in order to emerge the beautiful shape of the bird. In the tenth lap there will be nine modules, and from the eleventh, remove two modules in a circle. If you follow the scheme, then in the eighteenth row there will be only one module for each swan wing.
- Then carefully form the curved wings, give them a beautiful concave elegance.
- And at the back between the wings, simulate the tail of the swan. The first circle will have only five modules, place them in the center. Then in each row reduce the number of triangles by one thing so that there is one module at the top.
- Now decorate a beautiful long neck with a bend.
- The neck is collected in the following way. They put on two elements one, after two modules, after one again, it should be done until you collect the neck of the required size. One module of red or orange in the form of a beak is made on top. In order for the neck to fix well on the body of the bird, glue should be used. Otherwise, it can fall off, a lot of load around the neck. The eyes of a bird can be drawn with felt -tip pens. Then, in order for the swan to hold well, you need to set it up on the stand and it is advisable to glue it.
- So that the swan looks as natural as possible, the neck is made in the form of the letter G.
IMPORTANT: For beauty, or under the interior of the room, swan can be made colorful. White modules can be made from colored paper or painted with acrylic paint. Swans decorated with rainbow flowers look spectacular. Any flight of imagination is welcome.
