This is the best origami tutorial I’ve seen. Each step is clearly explained. Thank you!
Thank you for the great tutorial - this is the perfect little owl model! I'm going to make an army of dreaming owls. I already made 3!
+Katy Higgins That sounds great :) Would like to see them at the end ;) Happy folding!
Thank you for the great tutorial. This was the first owl i ever made, and it went successful! Although some steps were a little difficult, the steps were thoroughly explained and it was fun to make the cute little owl. And I have already subscribed to your channel! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻👍🏻
this is really cute, really enjoyed making it
Smooth sail until 13:27, the suddenly incomprehensible. Video quality becomes blurry and half the times the model and hands are off camera
Great tutorial! It was easy to underatand with the verbal instructions, but some folds were a little difficult.
i've been folding for a while now, and this is one of the most beautiful models out there, in it's simplicity and elegance.
thanks Alex, your work is much appreciated (i'm going through your available designs one by one) - design style, logic of your folds, intuitive tutorials... you are awesome!
i truly hope to see more your designs, thanks again and stay cool M8!
Thank you very much for your kind words :)
This is one of the clearest tutorials I've seen! I'm definitely going to try and I've subscribed
+frances hurst Thank you ;) It's good to hear because others say it's really bad and they can't understand anything.
Very nice! Thank you! I had lot of fun doing it.
+Gabriel Boucher Glad to hear that!
Amazing and so much explaining the whole way and you talk I’ve subscribed thank you so much beautiful breathtaking lovely 😊
turn on captions at 2:11
Ahaha xD
Gorgeous and cute loved folding this
Thank you for your Feedback :)
I love your Dreaming Owl tutorial! It is very well explained, and this is the first complex animal model I have been able to complete successfully. Thank you!
Ida Marx Hello! I am glad to hear that :) good luck for your origami future ;) keep on folding :)
Thanks bro I had a hard time but I loved the end result❤
Beautifully formatted video
Bro I have a question is it easy if I use a normal 15x15 origami paper please tell
Hey Kiran, with 15cm paper it will be small and tricky to fold. Also normal Kami paper is not that good for shaping that model. I guess it could work but not easy. And I have not tried with 15cm Kami.
@@quietmarverick Thank you for telling and the design is also awesome
This is soooo cute,how did you learn to make this?
Lovely design! And a very nice tutorial like always :)
Wish you a fantastic, origami-filled year ahead!
I got the back of post it noted paper to use as two colored- worked out well though
Thank You Dear Origami Artist ☺️ i will try it! Is it wet folding or not? Thx so much
Got it! Water at the end ;) thx!
Beautiful design! Could you please help me with the corlor name of the tissue paper and elephant hide paper? Its a bit difficult to find on origami-shop. Thank you :)
I loved this tutorial. Today, I started folding some origami and my first Owl turned out really well. thank you for taking the time to make this, and in such detail!
Thank you for your comment :) I'm happy to hear you started folding and like my video ;)
These are cute. I folded it with the wrong paper and it was indeed hard to shape. Could you share instructions for gluing tissue paper to elephant hide paper? Thanks!
Its not very special way to glue that papers together. I just made glue on the elephant hide and layed the tissue on it. While folding you have to wetten only the elephant hide but not the tissue. Because the tissue will brake if it gets wet.
Your channel is best channel
Yes its brilliant continue your job
Great little owl; full of personality! Wonderfully taught as well. Thank you!
and then he switches to a smaller owl in which I can barely see
Nice job, but the end is hard to follow because the image is to blurry when you start to put volume, and it is the hardest part
Yes youre right. Its not very good quality. I hope you could solve it!
can anybody tell me what he does in 11:37
It's kind of a rabit ear variation. You divide the leg in half and bring it down. I'm sry but I can't explain it better with words. The important thing is to get a thin leg down. Maybe you find an own way to do that. ;)
cool can i teach it on my chanell
I love this tutorial, and this remains my favorite owl model. It took me some practice, but I finally got it to look good. I followed your advice and used elephant hide paper with tissue paper, and it does work the best this way. Thank you!!!
I am happy to hear you tried it with that paper and had a great result 😎 thank you for your comment!
you are very good at it
Thank you for the compliment ;)
beautiful, but mine did not turn out at all like yours...
Its about trying again and again with different papers. I guess I needed about 5 attempts till a beautiful result :) so dont give up 😊
It was really hard to get my head around but..... I did some random folds and it worked😊
+Sasha Jane Great! :)
+quietmarverick thx😊
Sasha Jane great
How do you shape it at the end I don't know how
You need paper which you can shape with water or you have to use mc-glue. With kami/printer paper its mit possible to shape it nice.
On your video, when forming a figurine of owl-origami, starting from the 14th minute, when you make the eyes, and the rest of the silhoette; there is no clear image of the camera; keep the owl at the top? where it is hard ti see, so the quality becomes bad. Part of your origami poet becomes inferior; there is no desire to finish it. I am sorry, but it is true.
Алёна Маковецкая hey there. You are totally right the quality on the end of the video is bad. I have not noticed it while folding and had no time to film it again. Sry. But I have to say that I saw many people folded my owl from that video and could work with the blurry part. At minute 14 you have finished almost everything. Its just shaping what you have to do from that point. Over that you cn hear what I say in the video and you can see where I fold. So if you use the final picture of the owl you can do the final shaping steps easily. As I said. Many did it. I saw the results. See it as a small challenge. Over that its always good to try variations with the shaping. Sometimes it looks better than the original :) so sry again for bad quality but as many others you can do it. Have a good day!
Thank you for your quick response. Grateful with admiration rewies about your video are not alwayse useful to tht author? as if there where not many of them. May be we should listen to the criticism of one person - to make the image of your camera clearer and to the figure within sight of the viewer, and not you loved one; those. Do not take it far when shooting. Love for origami makes you respect the authors - professionals, smart and patient.
Good day for you, please!
Mine looks like a zombie 😭 it's so hard to make
+Miao Na-Zheng It's good to hear you tried it again ;)
how do you do small do not understaun the last
so cute and tiny.
+Kathleen Ramey Thank you ;)
Kathleen Ramey I agree is so cute!😍😘😽💖💖💖💖💖💖
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢😷🤥😵😑🤤

I love you owl!
My Owl is not exactly like yours, but I love it! Thank you!
Nice owl! It' s beautiful! And so cute! I really love owls xD. I made this owl for a presentation for school. I am so glad I found this video. Thnax a lot!
+Els Janssens I'm glad to hear that! Have a nice day :)
The real size is 24x24
Am I crazy or did you used to have a video of how to make the fox with the square, sorry I can't think of the name of it
Lovely Design!
Thank you :)
***** You're welcome! ;)
May I use tissue foil
I did it and It sort of works
+Jy origami Cool! Would not recomment it as the perfect paper for this model but it works :)
thanks
Omg!! This tutorial is amazing! So clear, every step is explained very well!! Great job! ^^ (new sub :D)
Am I crazy or did you used to have a video of your fox that stole the last geometry, I forget the name
hi how can I make an owl s mask or an owls beak .Please help me and your video is amzing.
Your owl is fantastic. I " succceeded " tofold it. My problem is the end. I was not able to shape my origami correctly because I have not a paper as your ! Wich sort of paper do you use ? Happy new year Thank you
Francis Boyer-Madrieres à
he said in the beginning that he used elephant hide paper with red tissue paper attached to it
I used origami paper with worked very well
Francis Boyer-Madrieres I
Francis Boyer-Madrieres me too
At the end was the hardest where you shape it. It would have helped if you HAD THE CAMERA IN FOCUS!
Elizabeth Esguerra I'm sorry for that but my cam was very old and bad. I have a new one since few months. Thank you for your critism but YOU CAN TALK TO ME WITHOUT SHOUTING! ;) Have a nice day.
+quietmarverick how do u know she is shouting? Dumnbass
+Kl Boon hey asshat it was IN ALL CAPS your the only dumbass here
+quietmarverick Yes, I am sincerely sorry for "shouting", I was frustrated and lost my cool. I shouldn't have posted this comment when I wasn't in the right frame of mind. And I am not trying to excuse myself from what I did, but I am also trying to explain myself; I was trying to highlight that your camera wasn't in focus. I hope you can forgive me. Once again. I am sincerely sorry if I offended you.
Elizabeth Esguerra Everything is fine ;) Thank you for responding! I try to respect everybody and answer all comments seriously. But sometimes some comments sounds bit harsh and I try to answer friendly but also try to remind that I'm only human too x) So don't worry about your comment but keep that in mind for future comments on youtube :) Do you still need any help with the shaping?
Awesome!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
13:45. А фокус у фокусника, да?
Excellent verbal directions, thank you.
Thanks man :)
You are so very talented. Love the little owls.
Clarice Rutland thank you :)
Why do you did a big owl and it is not like the little owl!!!!!!!!😲😲😲
:) I love it! Great tutorial!
Thank you :)
AMEI ESTE VIDEO É MUITO BOM A CORUJINHA FICOU LINDA !!!!!!!!!
+Miraculous Thank you :)
quietmarverick
Miraculous and a 2
Miraculous aghdugg vai te foder
wow!!!good!!!
جيد
How do you make the eyes close? Cus every time I make one the eyes are always open
I guess it's because I use wet folding paper like elephant hide. You can wet the eye part very less at the end and after drying it holds the shape.
I haven’t made this yet but can I still use paper that is thin? That’s the only one I have besides construction paper..
Candice Perez you can use thin paper but the shaping and holding the final shape stable is hard. Maybe you have to use a bit glue at the end
quietmarverick okay, thank you very much!
quietmarverick I made it! Thanks 😁
Very nice bro
Claudia Dell Thank you ;)
Awesome, I cant see how you got it so perfect!! Was this your own design?I subscribed!!!
+IvyStar1101 Thannk you ;) Yes it's my design.
+quietmarverick wow you have talent!!!
can l put it in cololed paper
You can fold it with colored paper yes. But the shaping is hard with soft paper.
someone count the valley folds!
can it work with one solid color too?
Sure but it's more beautiful with two colored paper ;)
Bist du Deutscher?
Riaan GB ja ;) hört man am schlechten englisch, ne? :D
I love this tutorial!! I made 2 of them. Their names are uwu&owo!
That sounds great 😄 I am happy you had fun with the tutorial 😊
Por quê vc não terminou o vídeo??
cuteness overload
+timea kocnerova Thank you ;)
difficulty level please?
+Animaljam Nerd Oh that's hard to say. The folding sequenze isn't that hard. The shaping needs good paper. So it's not an origami beginner model but it's also not impossible to fold with less skills... Hope that helps
+quietmarverick oh, thank you!!!
Hi! Your video is really great, we understand all the steps!
But it did not work with normal (80g) paper, what kind of paper do you use? Is it Kami paper? Where can I find it on the net?
Thaaaanks :)
Delphine LB Hey there! Thanks I'm glad to hear that. Kami isn't good for this model I only use this orange kami paper for showing the folding steps. My owls are folded from tissue glued on elephant hide. You can also use elephant hide and paint one side. You can find elephant hide for example at origami-shop.com. The paper should not be thin. 100-110 gsm are recommended. Hope that helps ;)
quietmarverick
Thank you very much!!! Keep on creating :)
See you soon!
Delphine LB For sure I will ;)
good
thanks!
Would a square paper of 14.5 X 14.5 be okay? I like the idea of it being small. Just wondering if 14.5 would be too big?
***** You mean 14,5cm? It depends on the thickness of the paper. I would not use 14,5cm kami because I think it will not be nice. 14,5cm elephant hide wet folded should work nice. If you have only thin paper like kami you should use a smaller size like 10cm.
quietmarverick I have no clue what type of paper it is, but it's thin. A little thinner than printing paper. Would 7.2 cm X 7.2 cm square be too small?
***** Hmm hart to say. I guess you have to try it :O
i love you
Thank you :P
Wow
I loved this tutorial. Its just the right speed and really well set out.
Thank you for your comment ;)
excellent tutorial :D
I made mine with kami paper because it's the only one I have, but I would really like to know what is the exact type of paper you recommend. how is it called?
+hederae The paper I used is elephant hide. I glued tissue on one side.
The tumbnail origami its not what it looks like in the tutorial.WHY
Maybe you have to watch till the end...
I only have one sided origami paper :( I'll miss the color change, but I'm still folding it. Maybe I can color it when i'm done.
Anyway... subscribed!
+Origami Made Simple Oh okay. You should try to color one side of your paper ;) Thank you for subscribing. May I ask where do you come from?
i liked its very beatiful and very good
Why do you put water on it?
Very cute design! Sehr Gut!
Luri Fax
May you publish a new video please? It has been two years, but you still reply to comments.
I become informed about new comments on my phone and Replying to needs only a minute... I just bought a house and my first son will be born in April :) I also have my work. I am sry but I cant say when I find the time for a new video. Have a good time.
what's your name ?
It's Alexander Kurth ;)
Are you from germany, you have a german accent
Yes I am german
I learn german
@@thebananafox4186 cool :) where do you come from?
@@quietmarverick im from poland :)
@@thebananafox4186 nice :) I have visited the polish origami convention twice. It was great 😊
It's easy to follow, but why do you say occasionally: plexus?
+Róbert Kiss I'm not sure what you make. Maybe it's because of my pronunciation ;) I don't think I use the word "plexus". Can you give me one or two timings in the video where you think I use that word? Maybe the word is "next"? Have a nice day!
+quietmarverick 3:18
4:12
6:12
10:18 nexus plexus. :P
+Róbert Kiss Ah now I know the problem :'D It's "like this" not "plexus" ;) Hope that helps x)
👍🏽👍🏽
O
Is it hard
Isaiah Gill It's not that hard but you need good paper and it would be recommended to use wet folding technique.
Really a beautiful model, thanks for sharing it with us! Greetings from Argentina!
TheInnerzen You're welcome!
Hey super Video. Weißt du ob man das Elephant Hide Papier auch schon auf 10x10 vorgeschnitten kaufen kann? Ich bin sehr unerfahren was das angeht und hab bisher nur Basic Formen gedaltet, mit Handelsüblichem Papier. Wäre super, wenn du mir weiterhelfen könntest.
Frohes Neues Jahr wünscht
Pandoener
+Pandoener Hey du ;) Ich weiß nicht genau ob es das gibt, aber wenn, ist es vermutlich sau teuer. Ich hab sehr viel Elefantenhaut, weil ich mal eine günstige Großbestellung gemacht habe. Da kostete ein Bogen 70x100cm 1,10€. Wenn du möchtest kann ich dir davon was klein schneiden und zuschicken ;) Ansonsten musst du dich mal im Internet umsehen, ob jemand so kleine Bögen Elefantenhaut verkauft. Dir auch ein frohes neus Jahr!
Wow this is incredible
it is sooooooo!!!! cute!!!😄
Thank you! x)
the quality of the video is bad I can barely see most of the folds on the colored or white paper
sehr schönes Modell - sitzt schon an meinem Becher :-) - prima Tutorial - danke!
MrViolinPeter Sehr cool! Haha Foto? :P Freut mich, dass es dir gefällt. Einen super Tag dir!
I tried so much but i can't make it😩😡
that was dumb it can fall apart any moment beautiful but frail
LOL what did you fold it with? computer paper xD
Mine doesnt fall apart
Maybe it is a lack of skill?
He says to use thick paper in the video. That doesn't mean use Printer Paper XD
As William Ravenclaw said. You have to use a good paper with wet folding. It changes the paper structure while beeing wet and will hold the new shape after drying.
I want to do that
Beautiful
Thank you!
