Sea Turtle Origami

I don’t know whether you know or not that my mommy loves things Japanese…you can see  it in Kame’s name as Kame is turtle in Japanese. Mommy has been writing so many posts for Hello Japan! Mini Challenge because she loves things Japanese (I know, I have said it before…but she really loves it!!). The event is hosted by Aunt Nat of In Spring It Is Dawn.

This month, I asked her to let me do the challenge. I want to be apart of a challenge for once…especially an easy challenge like this.

August’s Task

This month’s task is to create some origami.
Try your hand at making your own paper cranes. Or origami bookmarks. Or anything you like. It doesn’t matter if you’ve done it before or not. You could also get your kids/friends/partner/etc. to make something. And don’t forget to take pictures to share with us what you’ve made.

I want to do a simple origami of our close cousin the sea turtle. As you know,i don’t have flexible fingers, I had to ask mommy to fold the paper…of course under MY strict supervision!! I don’t want her to  make any mistake

So…without further introduction, this is how you make sea turtle origami.

Fold the paper like this and do it at both sides

And then fold like this but don't do it for both sides

All the folding will create these lines

Try to fold the lines you have created before into something like this

Fold one side up and down

The lines made from previous folding is folded into this shape and then do it for all 4 sides like the pictures shown below.

Here is the result

Now, fold it like this

Turn in like this

Fold each corner into something like this, they will become the turtles's arms and legs

To make the head, fold it like this

It will look like this after you fold the head

...and...voila!!

 Of course…I have to do my final check
