Make an Origami Mountain
This unique origami mountain can be made quickly and easily using an A4 piece of paper. It can be used as a background in a diorama and other similar projects.
Steps
- Fold the top right-hand corner of the paper down as shown in the picture.
- Fold the rectangular part of the paper over so it is on top of the triangular part of the paper.
- Turn the paper over and fold the highest point of the triangle down to the bottom corner of the triangle. This essentially halves the size of the triangle and creates a "pocket" which will be used in the next step.
- Unfold the rectangle on the bottom.
- Fold the stand. Fold up the right and left bottom corners of rectangle at an angle. Insert the corners into the pocket formed by the folded triangle. This will form a triangular support stand for the mountain.
- Fold the support section backwards and adjust it so that it supports the paper mountain.
- Decorate your paper mountain. To add realism you could use some natural materials.
- Finished!
Tips
- Coloured construction paper could be used to make coloured mountains.
