How to make an Origami Dragon

Step 10: Dragon's wings

The last step is the wings.

32 and 33
In this step we are not actually making any folds we are just shaping the wings with our fingers by gently curving it.

34
Again we are not making any folds just bending the paper in the shape we want.

Finished!

After ages of going around websites trying to make an origami dragon I have finally done it thanks to you!
Albeit it is using 6cm by 6cm paper so I had to sacrifice an open mouth on mine, looks amazing though!

I loved the instructions and the result! It ended up really good and having the video with the diagrams was useful.

Thanks I'm glad you liked it!

Awesome instructable for a relatively advanced origami model.

The head variations helped a lot too! I already knew about them, but I could never get the open mouth right. Your instructable was the only place where I learned to do it right.

Oh, you should also try pleating the wings instead of curving them, they look more dragon-like in my opinion. ;)

Thanks!

omg i can't believe it worked! i suck at making stuff with paper. i can make fortune tellers, water bombs, and sherikins. that's about it. but this is awesome!

Beeleigh, Do you know how to make the donut sheriken that when it's pulled out, it forms a donut, and when you push it in, it forms a shreiken?

[miimaster2]

It's Shurikens not sherikins...and this is AWESOME! I used a huge sheet and it was awesome!

 i tried it  and it flew !!!

[chamster]

It flooped to the ground for me. I didn't make it very well. The most complex thing i have ever made is a crane and a chicken.

[ChrysN]

It flew? I never tried throwing it.

[CafeLatte]

Thanks!

Also, When I do the wings, I dont Curl them, I do something like making a paper fan, except a little different with alternate foldings along the sides. Also, I fold the two little humps on the inside insideout towards the body so they're invisible. It just makes it look cooler. Try it out.

[ChrysN]

Sounds cool!

Great instructions. The words mean nothing to some people while doing origami, so adding words and pictures helps people with all learning differences. Loves it.

[ChrysN]

Thanks, I'm one of those people who have trouble with just written instructions, that's why I like to have lots of pictures!

difficult to make, the instructions were very clear, the end product was very good, I wonder if i could make a spiked tail.

Awesome instructable! I've been wanting to do origami dragons for a while. Easy to follow instructions on an otherwise difficult model. Thanks :D:D:D

[ChrysN]

Thanks!

[Aarosen]

It was a great tutorial! Most of the others were almost impossible to understand, and they didn't have any words. mostly pictures.

[melted cookies ROCK!]

this was an awesome dragon!!! i LOVED it!!! :D

[ChrysN]

Thanks!

[laffarsmith]

Fantastic! I just wanted to turn my Easter Egg wrapping into a little purple dragon but some of the tutorials online were complex and created so many folds the foil would be tearing. These simple steps and the detailed pictures walked me through every step and the result? A beautiful purple and silver dragon. Thank you!

[ChrysN]

I'm glad you like it!

[dreamsengraved]

Thank you so much for these instructions! I wanted to make this for a friend of mine because he loves dragons, but all the instructions I found for this exact same diagram were not clear enough for me to follow. I especially had trouble with the reverse folding, but your pictures made it so much easier to understand (e.x. - the inferior view ones). Thanks again!
