Origami Goose- by <PERSON>
Introduction: Origami Goose- by <PERSON>
This is an origami goose, designed by <PERSON>. It is my favorite model to date, and I couldn’t find it online anywhere, so I made this instructable. Hope you like it as much as I do.
Supplies
You will need a square sheet of paper, any size above probably 10 centimeters should do. Any smaller and the paper might rip. You will also need to know how to do a reverse fold, and know what mountain and valley folds are if you don’t already. If you don’t know, go look it up before you start folding.
Step 1:
Fold a preliminary base. I don’t really know how to explain how to do this, but it is easy enough to find how to do it via google. Please take a quick break to do that, as it is the base of the goose.
Step 2:
hold your base so all the open sides are at the bottom. Fold the bottom fight and left edges to the center, making a kite shape. Repeat behind.
Step 3:
Fold and unfold the little triangle at the top over the flaps.
Step 4:
Unfold both flaps we made in step 2, and fold it on the crease made in step 3. Little confusing, but gets easier with more practice. After you do this, squish it flat. Fold this flap down.
Step 5:
Do the same thing on the other side, but fold and unfold the top flap to the top of the triangle before squishing the flap. 966
Keep this flap folded up.
Step 6:
Fold that flap down on the creases made in step 5.
Step 7:
fold those new flaps along the other crease lines
Step 8:
Unfold those new flaps you made, and mountain fold along those creases. Repeat on both sides.
Step 9:
fold this new flap up from corner to corner, then mountain fold under.
Step 10:
Fold these new square flaps up along the natural creases one at a time, then fold both at once, creating a new flap in the middle. Fold this flap to one side, then inside reverse fold it, making it narrow. These will be the feet.
Step 11:
Fold this big chunk of paper back down.
Step 12:
This is where it gets really tricky. Fold the lower slanted edges of this flap to the middle. They won’t want to fold all the way, so we need to squash them. Repeat on both sides.
Step 13:
Take the old flaps made way back at the start when making the bird base and twist them backwards to be mountain folded, lying straight horizontally.
Step 14:
Fold in half.
Step 15:
Fold the back slanted side to align with the top edge. (Top layer only) repeat on both sides.
Step 16:
Reopen the goose, take the whole squash-folded portion and reverse-fold it out.
Step 17:
Take these flaps sticking straight up and fold them down so they look like this. (You will need to fold a portion of the flap inside the little pocket). These will be the wings.
Step 18:
Stand those flaps right back up perpendicular to the goose and squish them like we did the feet.
Step 19:
Fold the wing flaps back.
Step 20:
Fold the neck down so the top straight edge is parallel with the front of the feet, then reverse fold.
Step 21:
Fold this neck flap in half, then reverse fold.
Step 22:
Reverse fold the neck up, along the natural limits. Do not rip the paper.
Step 23:
Reverse fold the head down. Crimp the beak if you want, but you do not have to. I did.
Step 24:
Reverse fold the tail down and up.
Step 25:
Reverse fold the feet, and adjust angles until it stands.
Step 26: WOOO WE ARE DONE
