Pattern Info

This project was designed by KerryFolding4U.
Info can be found at:

Eastern Dragon »

Instructions

Pattern & all paper needed comes in a kit (also designed and assembled by me) at my website - Folding4U.com.

Difficulty:

Category: Paper Crafts

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Traditional, Hipster, Funky, Classic


Materials

Construction paper - 18 pieces - Dark Green, Red & White - plus a strip of red ribbon. Each piece of paper is cut into 32 equal pieces, folded into triangular 3-D origami modules and assembled per a pattern (my own design).

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to create something from a traditional eastern culture, yet keep it 'cool' enough for teenagers to enjoy it also. I've had numerous teens ask me for a dragon over the past year or so - this is the result!

What are you most proud of?

The vibrancy this piece brings to a room.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make and assemble the pieces/parts in the order prescribed in the kit instructions - assembly will be much easier than just 'winging it!'

I've a got a revised version of this done with a bit less paper - but just as authentic. Can be done in about 6 hours from start to finish. New kit at my website - http://Folding4U.com.
