In a thousand-year-old civilization, the art of origami has always been a unique and creative handicraft craft. And in this long history, the folding of origami pigeons has become one of the favorite ideas of many handicraft lovers.
First of all, the raw material needed to make an origami pigeon is just a square piece of paper. Compared with the production of ancient paper, modern people can easily obtain origami paper in various colors and patterns, providing more options for the creation of origami pigeons. Choosing a piece of paper that suits your preferences is the first step in an origami pigeon.
Second, fold the square paper in half to form a large isosceles right-angled triangle. This step originated in the ancient process of paper making, and by folding the diagonal lines, it was easier to obtain the symmetrical shape of the paper.
Today, this traditional method is still preserved, infusing the art of origami with a classical aesthetic. When the paper is folded diagonally, an isosceles right triangle is presented.
Next, fold the bottom edge of the triangle up so that the bottom edge coincides with the opposite edge. This step is not only for adjusting the shape, but also for the smooth progress of the subsequent origami action.
In ancient times, people often paid attention to the treatment of every detail when performing origami art, and pursued the effect of symmetry and harmony. Today, this traditional attention to detail still makes our origami pigeons even more beautiful.
Now, fold the folded triangle in half along the bottom edge of the vertical line to form a smaller isosceles right triangle. This step stems from the ancient quest for symmetrical beauty, through the folding of the vertical line in half, so that the whole origami dove is more balanced. In modern origami, this step is also considered key and has an important influence on the shape of the final pigeon.
Finally, the two bottom edges of the small triangle are spread outwards to form the two pointed wings of the origami dove. This step seems to open a window to ancient culture, allowing us to see the ancients' pursuit of beauty and love for handicraft. The moment it unfolds, a simple but beautiful origami dove is presented in front of you.
Origami pigeons, simple and beautiful, are not only a handicraft art, but also a heritage of ancient culture. Through this simple origami process, we feel as if we can travel back in time and feel the ancient people's understanding of beauty and their love for craftsmanship.
