Introduction

Origami is a traditional Japanese art of paper folding that has been around for centuries. One of the most popular origami designs is the 3D origami moon. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of creating your own 3D origami moon using the 折り紙 (origami) technique.

Materials Needed

Before we start, let’s gather the materials needed for this project. You will need:

15 sheets of square paper (preferably black or dark blue)
Scissors
Glue

Step by Step Guide

Step 1:

Take one sheet of square paper and fold it diagonally in half to form a triangle. Unfold the paper and repeat the same step with the other diagonal.

Step 2:

Now fold the paper in half horizontally and vertically. Unfold the paper again.

Step 3:

Next, take the corners of the paper and fold them towards the center. You should end up with a square shape.

Step 4:

Repeat steps 1 to 3 with the remaining 14 sheets of paper.

Step 5:

Take one of the folded square papers and fold it in half diagonally. Unfold the paper and fold it again in the opposite direction.

Step 6:

Now, take the top layer of the paper and fold it in half towards the center crease. Repeat the same step with the bottom layer of the paper.

Step 7:

Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining 14 papers.

Step 8:

Take one of the folded papers and insert the top flap into the pocket of the paper below it. Repeat the same step with the remaining papers until you have formed a circle.

Step 9:

Now, take the first paper in the circle and insert its top flap into the pocket of the last paper to close the circle.

Step 10:

Finally, take the first paper and insert its flap into the pocket of the second paper to form a pyramid shape. Repeat this step with the remaining papers until you have formed a 3D origami moon.
