1) To make your very own Origami Jumping Frog, start
out with a square piece of paper 8.5" x 8.5". You can find square
paper at art supply stores or you can even be more creative and make
your own. To make your own square, take a sheet of paper & fold it
diagonally, so that side "a" meets side "b". |
|
 |
2)You can
either cut along the red line with a pair of scissors or you can
fold the paper backwards and forwards to create a sharp crease and
then carefully tear section 1 off.
|
|
 |
3) Now you should have a perfect
square. Next you need to fold it so that the creases match the
diagram below. Fold the paper diagonally & then in half. Then unfold
& it should match this diagram. |
|
4) Push on points C&D, at the same time folding the
top edge of the paper down until it meets the bottom edge of the
paper. You want your completed fold to end up a triangle.
|
|
 |
5) Take the
paper at point "A" (which is only |
|
 |
6) Do the same thing on the other corner
(remember to fold the top
layer only). Now you should have something that resembles the
diagram. |
|
 |
7) Fold
along the gray line in the above diagram, so that your paper looks
like the diagram.
|
|
 |
|
8) Do exactly the same for the other side. So that
you paper now matches the diagram. |
 |
9) Now fold the top corner.
marked
E, outwards
|
 |
so it looks
like this:
|
 |
10) Do
the same on the left side so your paper looks like this
|
|
 |
 |
11) Turn your piece of paper over so the other side
now faces you like the diagram. |
|
|
12) Next fold along the diagonal crease so it looks
like this.
|
|
|
|
13) Do the same thing on the left side. Your paper
should now look like the diagram.
|
|
 |
14) Now fold it outwards along the gray line so that
your right side looks like this.
|
|
 |
15) Do the same thing on the left side. Your Frog is
now very close to being completed! |
|
 |
 |
16) The next folds that you are going to do are the
ones that make your frog able to jump. Fold your frog in half along
the red dotted line like the diagram |
|
|
so it ends
up like this
17) Turn your frog over so
that the other side is facing you and it looks like this.
|
|
 |
 |
18) Now fold what are going to be the frog's back
legs, down along dotted red line.
|
|
 |
19) You have now completed your frog and it should
look like the picture.
|
|
 |
20) To make your frog jump, lay it on a flat surface
like a table, and push down near the end of it, where the red X is
in the diagram below. You must make sure that the legs of your frog
are folded underneath before you push otherwise it will just sit
there. You can race your friends!
