10/4/2023 0 Comments Simple origami pig![]() ( Click here to check prices and availability.) I thoroughly recommend this book, it has an excellent selection of models, including this Origami Vixen, which I have featured on this blog before. You can find the instructions for this book in Diaz’s book Origami Essence, which is available from the origami shop. A 24cm square piece of paper will create an Inflatable Origami Pig that is 14cm (5.5in) long, 8cm (just over 3in) high, and 5.5cm (about 2in) wide when inflated. Ordinary origami paper works adequately well for this, but you need something with a fair degree of stability to it, so I wouldn’t use anything thinner than that. It takes about 15 minutes to fold.Īs you’re going to inflate it (like you do with a waterbomb), you need to think a bit more carefully about your paper choice for this one. This is another intermediate level model. It’s a bit more of a stylised design than the other two paper pigs, without being complex. Given where we started, with the Big Bad Wolf trying to blow down the Pigs’ houses, it’s a bit unfortunate for the third of the Three Little Origami Pigs that this time, we have to blow into him! This model is a bit different to the other two, and I couldn’t resist having an inflatable origami pig as one of the three. You may remember my posts about his Origami Cardinal, Secretary Bird, and Hippocampus. This one is by another of my favourite origami designers – Roman Diaz. Now that I’ve rediscovered it, you can expect to see a few more of these designs on here in future – at least until I run out of dollar bills. I have to admit I had completely forgotten I had this book. The diagrams for this model are in Montroll’s book Dollar Bill Animals in Origami which is available on Amazon. A 1 dollar bill creates a pig that stands about 3cm (around 1.25in) high, 7cm (approx 3.75in) long, and around 3cm (about 1.25in) wide. There are a couple of offset rabbit ear folds in there, so if you’re ok with those, you’re good to go. Although folding from dollar bills creates a really interesting effect, the paper itself is a pain to work with as it’s specifically designed to be durable and resist people’s attempts to fold it up! Despite this, it’s an intermediate level model that will take about fifteen minutes to fold. The Dollar Bill Origami Pig takes a bit longer than the traditional model. It definitely looks a bit more ‘Piggy’ than the traditional origami pig though. Like most Montroll designs, the folding sequence is effective, and the final model has a fairly uncluttered look, which is why I like it. I’ve featured a couple of Montroll designs here before – including the origami flamingo, origami angelfish, and origami stegosaurus. It’s a nice touch and some people might find this useful. I like the use of two camera angles in this video. I will do a video showing how to fold this design step by step, but until then, you can find the instructions for this traditional model in a lot of simple origami books, or in this video from the HappyPuppyTruffles Youtube Channel. This produces an origami pig that is 12cm (about 4.75in) long and 5cm (about 2in) high. In this case, I’ve made it from traditional 15cm x 15cm (6in) origami paper. ![]() It’s a five-minute model, suitable for anybody to fold including children. It’s simple and effective.įolding this one is about as simple as it gets. Thankfully these days I’m not quite so anatomically illiterate and I do quite like it. For some reason, it just didn’t click with me. I didn’t like it when I first started doing origami, and for a long time, I wasn’t even sure which way round it was supposed to be. This one has really grown on me over the years. The first pig is a traditional design and one that most people come across quite early in their origami journey. Origami Pigs and the Chinese New YearĪs I write this, it’s the start of the Chinese New Year and it’s the Year of the Pig! Just as I’ve done with the origami rooster and origami monkey in previous years, I thought I’d mark the date with an appropriately themed origami model – in this case, three little origami pigs. Please see disclosure for more information. Note: This post contains affiliate links. To begin with, here are Three Little Origami Pigs! Oh well, plenty of the year left to do better. It’s the beginning of February and I’m finally getting around to my first post of the year. ![]() It has been way too long since I wrote anything for this blog and I started 2019 intending to do much more folding and writing. The Big Bad Wolf, Three Little Pigs, Anon Well this is a Surprise… ![]() “I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in.”
