Q&A for How to Make an Origami Dragon

Check out Jo Nakashima's tutorials on YouTube.

Use a bigger piece of paper and tweak it a bit. If you just make it all bigger, then the body will still be bigger than the wings in contrast. Another way to make the wings look better is to use a prettier piece of paper.

You can take one of the corners and fold it over until the sides line up and then cut off the extra paper.

You can use any kind of paper, printer paper (aka A4 paper) will work fine, unless you're trying to make it very small (and if so, I recommend a very thin paper that's durable). If it's the size of A4 paper, it's okay if it's thick.

Try to fold your creases strongly, and it should come together. Grab the two corners as shown, and push in. You can try to do the folds gradually, it may help. Origami is difficult, and it takes a lot of practice to get good at it.

Take the top-right corner and bring it down where the bottom-left corner would be if it was a normal square, then cut off the excess.

It can look really difficult, but use the video on the Wikihow website, after the community Question and Answer. It gives you a slow and clear tutorial in how to make this exact dragon.

The first method is the hard dragon, but if you really want to challenge yourself, then use the video below.

You can get origami paper at most craft stores, many office supply product stores, or online stores such as Amazon or eBay.

No, there's nothing particular about the paper's colour. It is generally totally your choice. You can use any colour you want. Usually, people like to use colours such as brown, black, grey, green or something that appears textured to make origami dragons; but you can use anything you'd like.
