We’ll show you how to make a dragon face by attaching parts like a beard, hair, and eyebrows to a folded base! First, add creases by dividing the origami vertically into four equal sections and horizontally in half, then unfold once.
Fold the bottom edge up to the center line and flip it over.
Fold the bottom left and right corners into triangles to make crease lines, then flip it back and open it.
Continue folding so that the silhouette of the dragon’s nose, ears, and horns appears.
Finally, cut additional facial parts from origami paper and paste them around the face, then draw in the finer details like the eyes, nose, and mouth to finish.
