Classic Zing Dragon

by John Szinger

This Dragon is a two-colored model when folded from a

standard sheet of origami paper. Start with the white side up

to fold a white dragon with colored head and wings, or the

colored side up to make a colored body with white head and

wings. A 10" square will fold into a 6" dragon, but I

recommend using a larger sheet if available. I also

recommend using foil paper to get the best effect.

1. White side up. Pre-fold diagonals. Valley-fold the top corner to the center and unfold.

2. Fold the corner down to the crease from step 1.

3. Fold the bottom corner up to the crease from step 2.

4. Fold behind.

5. Unfold step 3.

6. Blintz-fold.

7. Enlarged view. Preliminary fold.

(The four corners end up together at the bottom of the model in the next step, and the center of the model ends

up at the top.) Flip and rotate the model so that the upper-right quadrant in this step is facing the front in the

next.

8. Enlarged and rotated view. Squash-fold the top flap on the right.

9. Petal-fold.

10. Unfold steps 8 & 9. Pull out the flap and refold as in a blintz frog base.
