So, how can we use our original origami "Angel"?

New Year's angel - origami has always been a classic decoration of the house for Christmas and New Year. Let's remember the old traditions, but we will make the New Year's angel in a new way - in a modular scheme of paper. What does modular mean? This is the folding of different individual parts without the aid of glue. For beginners, a simple scheme of origami angels is more suitable. Therefore, first we will consider this variant from a single sheet of paper.

Fold half the sheet, then one more time. After that, we unfold the paper - we should get two cross-shaped folds. Then bend all the corners in the center, turn the handcraft. Pull out the pocket and begin to give the central part the shape of the head. Then again turn the two corners to the right and left - these will be two wings. Origami is ready. It can be hung on a string, the figure will be fluttering in the wind.

Origami "Angel" in a modular scheme can be done like this:

For simplicity in the explanation, we will divide the folding into the steps - modules. So, for the first module you need blue paper, with a total area of 20 to 20 centimeters. For stage 2, yellow paper is needed - this will be a rectangle with a perimeter of 21 by 12 cm. Then the third module is also a yellow paper measuring 5 by 15 centimeters, the fourth module contains a rectangle of white paper with an area of about 9 by 30 centimeters.

If you are familiar with the origami technique, then you should not have any problems when assembling. So, you will need to make the following parts: head, halo, wings - 2 pieces and a cone dress. The outfit of the angel can be done in the same way as the origami vase for flowers, only in this case the vase will be used inverted. The head is sculpted on the principle of puppetry. Then paint a pretty face to your angel. The main thing is that it turns out good-natured. Wings are made of 4 or 8 paper feathers - how to do them, you should know. To the head, you can additionally stick hair, and decorate the paper halo with shiny sequins. This cute angel can be made from multi-colored paper, but you need to make sure that the paper is the same color on both sides.

Let your origami angel pleases your eye, tunes to a positive and gives a good mood! And most importantly, let him become an angel-keeper for you!
