[Autumn Animal Origami] Easy Owl 2 Folding Method with Voice Commentary ☆ Origami Easy Owl Tutorial / Tatsukuri

Owls are known as lucky charms, and they’re often used in preschools as a classic autumn theme.

The origami owl we’re introducing starts by folding the paper into a triangle, then aligning the corners toward the center line.

Use the crease lines to form the owl’s body.

Next, fold the top corner down toward the center of the color-change area to make the owl’s face.

Fold the left and right sides toward the center to shape the owl.

The key is to fold while adding a gentle roundness to the form.
