[New Year with One Sheet of Origami] How to Fold a Dragon (Tatsu) – Easy and Cute Origami Dragon for the 2024 Zodiac
Dragon face

Let’s try making a dragon face with impressive, branched horns.

Use a single sheet of origami to create the base for the dragon’s face, and separately make the branched horns from strips of origami cut into small rectangles.

Attach the horns to the back, then draw in parts like the eyes, nose, and whiskers to finish! You can draw the eyes with a pen, but combining white and black round stickers makes perfectly round eyes that give the dragon an irresistibly cute look.

You can glue it onto construction paper where you’ve drawn the body, line it up with dragons made in different colors, and try all sorts of creative variations.

In conclusion

We’ve introduced a wide range of projects—from ones that create specific parts like a dragon’s head to those that form a full-fledged dragon silhouette.

For tasks that require fine work or cutting with scissors, it can be helpful for teachers or guardians to assist.

Many dragons can be folded from a single sheet of origami paper, making it easy to try again and again.

Be sure to challenge yourself with dragon origami—you’ll enjoy the sense of reward and accomplishment when you finish!
