ORIGAMI PRAYING MANTIS (Jo Nakashima)

How to make an origami Praying mantis Designed by Jo Nakashima (01/2023) Support my channel! https://www.patreon.com/jonakashima In this video you'll learn how to fold an origami praying mantis from a single uncut square sheet of paper. It is a box pleat model from a 48x48 grid. It is easier to fold than my origami ant and spider. CREASE PATTERN: https://jonakashima.com.br/2023/02/01/origami-praying-mantis/ #Origami #PrayingMantis #mantis ► LEVEL: complex ► PAPER: I recommend 30cm x 30cm of high quality thin paper that holds well the shape. Some suggestions: ● Kraft Alios – It’s the one I used in the beginning of the video and thumbnail. It’s super thin and light, but wet-shaping is required.

Works great like the previous one and you can customize it with the color you want. ● Tissue-foil from origami-shop – It’s the paper I used in the tutorial. I think it’s a bit thick unless you use a larger sheet (you can see how it looks in the end of the tutorial).
