This unique origami mountain can be made quickly and easily using an A4 piece of paper. It can be used as a background in a diorama and other similar projects.
Steps
-
Fold the top right-hand corner of the paper down as shown in the picture.
-
Fold the rectangular part of the paper over so it is on top of the triangular part of the paper.
-
Turn the paper over and fold the highest point of the triangle down to the bottom corner of the triangle. This essentially halves the size of the triangle and creates a "pocket" which will be used in the next step.
-
Fold the rectangular area of paper over so that it is on the side of the folded triangle. Insert the corners of the rectangle into the pocket formed by the folded triangle. This will form a support stand for the mountain.
-
Tuck in both corners so that the paper mountain looks like the one at right. The stand should be triangular in shape.
-
Fold the support section backwards and adjust it so that it supports the paper mountain.
-
Decorate your paper mountain. To add realism you could use some natural materials.
Tips
- Coloured construction paper could be used to make coloured mountains.
