Ive tried to make the steps as clear as possible. Hope you enjoy making this beautiful paper lotus.
/ disclaimer before we begin The 0uality of the images are not great1 something wrong with my lighting2 Step 1: We will start by making the leaves of the lotus flower. 3tart with one green units and increment the number of units by $ for every row.
Step 2: 4eep increasing the number by $ and inserting rows till you have 5 units in a row.
Step 3: 6ow start reducing the number of units by $ for every row till you have one unit. -ou will get this kind of a rhombus shaped structure. We would have used up 49 units for one leaf.
Step 5: /ttach two units together as shown. We will use ) connecting units for two leaves. /t least ) connecting units become necessary to hold the structure well.
Step 7: 6ow we will start making the lotus flower. The step to make the flower is going to be a little different than usual. !enerally we start from the bottom of the structure and move upwards. Here we will take a top down approach. We will be using light pink color units here. 8ust like how you made the leaves9 start for the flower " begin with $ unit and keep increasing by $ for the next row.
4eep adding the units till you have . units in a row and then start decreasing the number of units by $.
Step 8: :ake . more such units. We will need a total of , such units for one flower.
Step 9: 6ow connect two light pink units together using 1 ark pink unit. +o you see the dark pink unit at the center;
Step 12: <inally join the ends together in the same manner.
Step 13: 6ow add a row of light pink. 3! units will get used up here.
8ust shape the flower a bit at the bottom. I set the flower at the center of the leaves to see how it looks1already pretty2
Step 14: <or the center of the flower9 make a ring out of $* yellow units in each row. Here are the first ( rows.
Step 17: /dd ( more rows of yellow. /ll the .* yellow units are consumed.
Step 18: 3et the yellow modules piece at the center of the lotus flower.
Here is another look of the completed three dimensional modular lotus flower.
I was happy with the way the lotus came out. 8ust wish I had taken better pictures1 next in my to>do list is learning ?basic photography2
Step 1: 3tart by making the first two rows of the model. Two triangular units are connected together making connector units.
Step 2:
4eep linking connector units together. /s it can be seen9 %ow 1 uses . =lack units and 5 White units. %ow 2 uses , =lack and , white units.
Step 5: 7ow . inserted using # White units and H =lack units. 7ow , inserted using ( White units and $* =lack units.
Step 7: 6ow insert the next row E7ow 5G. Invert each unit and insert the next row.
Step 8: Inverted units E# White and H =lack unitsG are inserted to form 7ow 5.
Step 9: 7ow % is now made by inserting units in the usual way Enot in the inverted mannerG with ) White and % =lack units.
Step 1!: 6ext row " row H is done using . White and 5 =lack units.
Step 11: <or 7ow $*9 insert ) White and % =lack units.
Step 12: Insert one black unit at the center of the white units at the top.
Step 13: Insert one white unit on either side of the black unit.
Step 14:
Step 15: 7ow $( " the last row is inserted using black units only.
Step 16:
<or the 'enguins flippers9 insert one black unit on either side of the body. Ise glue when inserting the units.
as shown..
Step 17: /pply glue and insert one orange unit for the bill.
This modular origami panda bear assembly is 0uite simple and the steps are similar to the Hello 4itty +oll we made sometime before. The tutorial follows..
/nother view at this point to show how the units have been inserted.
Step 3: %ow 5 would have pieces as shown i.e.9 #= " )W " #=. The rest of the row would all be white units. We have started making the black eye patches of the bear.
Step 4: 6ow add units on top of the three black units Eof %ow 5G for making each eye patch. /s you can see we have inserted a total of 24 +la'k units for one eye patch.
Step 5: 7epeat the above step for the other eye patch.
Step 6: / total of $# rows with #( units in each row complete the head of the bear.
Step 7: 6ow9 to make the body of the bear9 we will start adding units in the same way as we made the head. =ut here9 we will be using (% units in each row.
:ake the base with % rows " (% W EwhiteG units in each row.
Step 8: The next row E%ow 9) would have 5 W units and ($ = units.
Step 9: /dd %ows 1! an, 11 as shown. %ow 1! - , W and (( = units %ow 11 " . W and (# = units
Step 1!: %ows 12. 13 and 14 added fully with =lack units.
The body of the bear is done. Step 11: 3hove the body into the head of the bear. -ou can use glue to secure the model.
