Origami Mandarin Bird Tutorial – Simon Andersen

Origami Mandarin Bird
Origami Birds Tutorial Paper Kawaii 01

How to fold an origami mandarin bird designed by Simon Andersen. These birds can perch or hang about as decorations all year round. There are a few different ways to fold the wings, if done more simply, the bird looks more like a seagull. I modified the wings a little to be more layered. I start by making the simpler winged version first.

These little origami birds will make lovely Christmas tree decorations. They can be perched or hung up with a ribbon. If hung, you may want to weigh down the front end of the bird (shown at the end of the video).
