My origami dragons


Here's a post

Today I'm going to talk about my origami dragons. I think my dragons are kind of cool and I really have fun making them, playing with them, and displaying them on my shelves. They are really cool.

Origami is a art that involves folding paper to make a object. Most of the time we make something that someone has already made but sometimes you can just play around with a piece of paper until you have something that you really like. Some of my dragons use cutting or maybe even glue. It is'nt as creative but you can make things you couldn't make before without it.

I first started when I was 10 and I had just started 5th grade. Ever since then paper craft has been my favorite hobby. My friend Derek made some paper ninja stars one time and I really liked them. So he recommend YouTube and I was soon making lots of things myself from paper.

Mostly I made different ninja weapons and I didn't start making dragons till the end of 5th grade. In total I've made 4 different types of dragons and 29 things out of origami including the dragons and many more are still pouring in. This is my first dragon design.












It's pretty bad but I still liked it at the time and it's the second easiest to make. This is the second design. It's pretty cool and the easiest to make but still not quite the best.








This is the third design. It is the best so far but is a little hard but still not frustrating.








Finnaly there's this one.








It is pretty interesting but not the best; barely better than my first one.

So to conclude I enjoy making dragons and creatures out of paper. I shall continue to do this and if you're lucky I might even start posting pictures of a new dragon at every post. Bye everybody and I hope you liked my dragons.


Which design do you like best?

  1. THIRD DESIGN RULES! I love that you are into Origami! I used to have a book about it when I was young and I liked it very much also! But I never tried using different colors like you did. I think they look pretty awesome.

    "if you're lucky I might even start posting pictures of a new dragon at every post." I hope I'm lucky, Ashton because these are so neat!

    My favorite one is the second one. It looks so intricate!
