Folding an Origami Cicada the easy way!
These origami cicadas make no sound at all, they just sit quietly and look pretty. With my simple instructions for folding an Origami Cicada the easy way, you can fold your own origami cicada in no time at all. It’s a simple pattern I think looks best with paper that is a different color on each side. My dad who currently lives in Japan says that Japanese children love to catch cicadas and collect their empty shells in the summer. I haven’t seen to many cicadas here in New Jersey lately, so I say, “if you can’t catch them, fold your own!” Let’s relax, have a bit of fun, and start folding an origami cicada the easy way!
Folding an Origami Cicada the easy way, starts with folding the paper in half diagonally.
Next fold the two corners of the long side up to the third corner.
Fold one of the points half way down.
Repeat with the second point.
Fold the top layer of the top of the piece over just less than half way.
Fold the other layer of the top down just less than the last layer.
Fold one side under at an angle.
Fold the other side under at the same angle.
There you have it, my folding an origami cicada the easy way. For more fun origami tutorials from JAH look HERE.
