You can create a variety of crafts from an ordinary sheet of white or colored paper. With a little effort and effort, you can fold a real paper elephant without scissors and glue, which will not differ much from the image of a real elephant in a drawing or photograph. To fold the paper elephant, you need a sheet of gray colored paper.
Instructions
Step 1
Fold the basic Kite shape by folding the square diagonally and then folding the sides towards the fold line. Flip the base shape and fold the bottom corners to the center fold line. Turn the workpiece over again.
Step 2
Bend the right angles of the folded parts at an angle of 45 degrees, aligning the sides, and then bend the two front triangular parts, aligning their inner edges with the outer edges of the figurine. Unfold the corners.
Step 3
Now, along the marked lines, bend them inward, and bend the lower corner sides of the workpiece backward away from you at an angle of 45 degrees from the center line. You should have an even rhombus. Bend it in half, making a "mountain" fold, then turn the figure horizontally.
Step 4
Bend the front triangle inward and twist, and also concave and twist the rear triangle smaller, then bend the sharp edge of the rear triangle inward. You have the body of an elephant. Pull slightly on the edges of the paper to pull the front triangle out from under the elephant's ears, and then arch the top sharp corner of the head, smoothing out its outline and arching half of the elephant's trunk outward.
Step 5
Smooth the sharp corners of the trunk by bending them, and then flatten the corners on the trunk so that it acquires a rounded shape. Turn the tip of the trunk outward. The elephant is ready. As you can see, making such an elephant is not difficult, and the resulting figurine is recognizable and similar to any real elephant.
