Drache mit einfachem Papier falten

Summary

In this tutorial, the process of folding a paper dragon is demonstrated step-by-step. The guide begins by ensuring the paper's corners and edges are aligned before folding them toward the center, similar to making an airplane. The video then shows how to create a 'house' shape, fold in additional corners, and refine the dragon's pointed tips. After folding both sides symmetrically, the dragon is complete and can be decorated, including adding a face. A creative and fun way to make a paper dragon, this video provides a clear, simple guide for beginners.

Takeaways

• 😀 Start by making sure the corners and edges of the paper are aligned properly.
• 😀 Fold the paper along the middle line, creating creases at the corners, similar to folding a paper airplane.
• 😀 Once all corners are folded towards the middle, flip the paper over.
• 😀 You'll have a basic shape resembling a house, but don't get stuck on that shape.
• 😀 Next, fold the top corners inward to form a point at the top of the paper.
• 😀 The folding of the corners can be tricky, so take your time to ensure they meet neatly in the center.
• 😀 Fold the bottom parts of the paper to create a sharp point, adjusting the folds to make them precise.
• 😀 Repeat these folding steps on both sides of the paper to ensure symmetry.
• 😀 After completing the folds, you will have a basic kite shape.
• 😀 You can then decorate your paper kite, adding features like a face to make it personalized.
• 😀 Finally, you have created a paper kite. Enjoy your finished craft and have fun!

Q & A

What is the first step in folding a paper dragon?

The first step is to ensure that the corners and edges of the square sheet of paper are aligned properly. This is crucial for making sure the folds are accurate.

What should be done after folding the paper in half?

After folding the paper in half along both the vertical and horizontal axes, unfold it and check that the creases are aligned correctly.

How do you fold the paper to start shaping the dragon?

You should fold each corner of the paper towards the center crease, similar to how you would fold an airplane. This is done for all four corners.

Why is it important to turn the paper over after folding the corners?

Turning the paper over is essential to prepare the paper for further folds that will refine the shape into a dragon. The result after flipping should resemble a house shape, but it’s not complete yet.

What is the next fold after turning the paper over?

After turning the paper over, the next step is to fold the top corners inwards towards the center, which helps to form sharper, more defined edges.

How do you make the paper's bottom sharper and more pointed?

To make the bottom of the paper sharper, fold the bottom portion upwards. This creates a pointed tip that will resemble the head or tip of the dragon.

What is the purpose of checking the folds as you proceed?

Checking the folds as you proceed ensures that all the edges are properly aligned and the folds are firm, which is crucial for achieving the desired shape of the dragon.

What shape does the paper resemble after folding the corners and turning it over?

After folding the corners and turning the paper over, the shape resembles a house, but this is only part of the process toward forming a dragon.

What should you do after the basic dragon shape is formed?

Once the basic dragon shape is formed, you can decorate it by adding features like a face, eyes, or any other creative designs to personalize your paper dragon.

What are some tips for ensuring the dragon folds correctly?

Ensure that all creases are sharp and aligned, and that the paper is turned at each step when required. Consistency in folding and checking alignment is key to getting the correct shape.
