19:21 If you're struggling, make sure the bottom bit is going into a mountain fold and it's folding according to the valley folds underneath. Really just double check where your creases are going. I struggled on this for ages too. Don't give up
I used a square of paper from an A4 sheet so now I have an elephant about 5cm high and 6cm long. I'm really happy with how it turned out although there are a few inconsistencies that are mainly due to me not being very good at origami. Thought I would say about the diameters just in case anyone was curious about how big it would come out. In my opinion, if you want to make it bigger or maybe easier on yourself when making it, if you're a beginner perhaps, I would use a larger piece of paper may be from a square from an A3 sheet.
This tutorial is amazing. This is a complex model to fold and it requires pausing and rewinding as you progress through the demonstration. Very clear directions, there is a section where the model is partially unfolded that might pose some difficulty but I found that looking for the shape in the section of the paper he was folding instead of his hands helped guide me through and pausing to make sure I’d caught up before progressing to the next step. The end result is worth all the time and effort that it takes to build this model. Thank you so much for uploading it, I wish I could post a picture of my elephant. Please post more complex models 🙏
I was trying to reply to Vishu_Extreme’s comment that this was a “very bad tutorial. That you were going to fast and that your hands were covering the paper.” I didn’t agree with his/her comment, that the tutorial progressed to fast or that hands covered the paper. I think sometimes people give up on origami because they try to fold really complicated models before acquiring the skill through practice of doing simpler and easier models first and then feel that the tutorials are bad because they can’t follow what it going on when in reality they may need to try a model that may be suited to their skill level.
Loved this model, very realistic and fun to fold. I only wish I had used paper that was the same color on both sides because now half of my elephant is white and the other half is gray
this is my favorite elephant model so far, I love you for doing your work your fumbled a lot in this tutorial, and some steps are unclear, made it hard to follow sometimes, but it's not like i would pay you for the improvement, so pay no mind, it's just a advice with no consequences. I love your work for what it is, and I've finished it, and it's the cutest little elephant I've ever made, thank you
i am in the process of doing it. about to finish. i feel this demonstration overcomplicates stuff. folds that are simple are not done clearly. and he doesnt show the results of complicated folds. at min 20 or something i ended with asimetrical ears and it took me way too long to figure out which one was the mistake.. anyways thanks for the video. without it i could not have done it.
If you don't have specific origami paper around, try using wrapping paper like Kraft and take a big square to start with. Ideally you have really origami paper, like from www.origami-shop.com
@@JMsOrigamiTutorials thank you for the reply. I just made a small elephant with the little bit of wrapping paper i had. Also thank you for uploading these videos. Have a good day.
You should mention that this isn't a tutorial for Sipho's elephant, but rather an interpretation according to his crease pattern, since the feet and the back aren't according to his model but your own interpretation
I'm fairly certain that is the difference between wet folding and dry. You can not make the feet or back without wet folding the pattern. If you look at the original artist's work it is almost all wet fold models.
Hello. I think it is similar but not the same obviously. I grateful about your effort. The paper of the white in the picture is another more flexible and may be it is wet. But i don't know the name of this kind of paper. Also the feet are prettiest in the white one, and it seems to be glue in some parts, but i am not sure. Do you know if it is possible to have the real original after all?thanks and congratulation for your beauty elephant.
Hey! You are of course right, we can't reach a wet folded result like the thumbnail with dry paper in the video. If you can fold the elephant properly you can try to wet fold it, or you can use tissue foil or you can finish the model with Mc glue!
Haha !, I did it, and with cardboard, now I'm painted with tempera the white parts and I made some little horns, it's really great, very nice the origami, does not repair expenses 😁👍👌🐘
Excellent Tutorial! I can see all your steps very clearly thank you so much! Could you please tell me the grey Kami paper make..... it seems Quite strong. The kami papers I have they seem to tear.
Thank You for this wonderful tutorial!!! I`m just a beginner but with your instructions I did the elephant and it really looks like an elephant. I´m so happy!!! Only the feet of the model you are showing for this tutorial are different from the feet you fold at the end of the video.
I did not understand 20:07 AT ALL! I got so lost with it I ripped it into little pieces because no this many times I rewind your hands where I the way, maybe you should show us how the hell u make it
I don't have paper that's big enough for the 50 by 50 cm elephant what is the best option for me? I only have paper that's 45 by 45. Could I have a little help? I really liked how this elephant was made, and I want to fold it.
@@carolyncoleman-harper2212 Tant is available on Origamishop.com. We bought the kraft paper used in the video just in a local store. You can sometimes find it as wrapping paper
I'm stuck at 15!!! I domt understand! I've done 10 new pieces from scratch and started the video over but I cant figure wtf is going on from 15 n up 😭😭😭😭
You could use kraft paper like in the video but then you still need to shape with MC Glue or shape by wetfolding. I would recommend tissue foil. We found very recently a new shop with excellent papers. This paper keeps the shape really good and that's important for this Sipho Mabona model.

Great job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JMs tutorials have helped me to take my origami skills to the next level
Okie

Yeah it's too easy to make not an complex origami playlist part
Some videos click bait, but you can always trust Jo Nakashima, Jeremy Shafer and JM. I subscribe!
Thank you! We try to improve our videos and our last videos are that the thumbnail is really like your model will look after folding the tutorial!

O
What about Henry origami
@@Glaicers good too
Jane Hou thanks
i had a hard time on 19:30 but i stayed being patient and now im satisfied with the results thanks for this tutorial
lol i did to and raged so much i ripped the paper
@@JustUs425 happens to the best of us
That’s a good elephant that you made
I made many of these. These origami elephants are so realistic! Thanks so much for the tutorial;))))))))
G this is trash
No I'm sorry
if you use paper with white on side,your elephant will be half-white
this is my favorite elephant model so far, I love you for doing your work
your fumbled a lot in this tutorial, and some steps are unclear, made it hard to follow sometimes,
but it's not like i would pay you for the improvement, so pay no mind, it's just a advice with no consequences. I love your work for what it is, and I've finished it, and it's the cutest little elephant I've ever made, thank you
I made this with 10 cm and it turns oit very well !
But what is this level?
Cause it could'nd be complex.
I have made 4 of them. They were very realistic.
Glad you like the tutorial!

Just Think , I am 12 but I didn't found it hard
Then what's the problem
I am not saying it is easy , keep trying
I don't know what kind of paper to use to make these. I use newspaper or magazine pages but they are too thick and mess up the final product.

Best tutorial of this model
It's so perfect, made it.
Thank you for the tutorial 👏🙏👌
now I can make a mini origami zoo! thanks for the tutorial. : )
Hello sir
Hi !
Haiiiii
Yes I have the same idea.
You should mention that this isn't a tutorial for Sipho's elephant, but rather an interpretation according to his crease pattern, since the feet and the back aren't according to his model but your own interpretation
I'm fairly certain that is the difference between wet folding and dry. You can not make the feet or back without wet folding the pattern. If you look at the original artist's work it is almost all wet fold models.
The ears and head are quite different too. Including different folds

Thank you so much!
Your are a genius in the origami
The genuises are the designers I think!
Hello. I think it is similar but not the same obviously. I grateful about your effort. The paper of the white in the picture is another more flexible

Bernabé Figueroa Gómez do you made for me one more time
@@nafasskata What did I do for you?
Bernabé Figueroa Gómez the elephant I can't do it
@@nafasskata Why can not you do that?
I don't know but I can't do it . It's very hard .😁😁😱😱😱😢😢😢🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘= hard
Okay , my paper tore in the end , spent an hour folding it , 🥲😭 great tutorial though , Thanku
Excellent Tutorial! I can see all your steps very clearly thank you so much! Could you please tell me the grey Kami paper make..... it seems Quite strong. The kami papers I have they seem to tear.

I just fold it from a crease pattern, so the feet are kind of interpretation, so it can be that they are different...
Looks quite complicated but I'm pretty sure I can manage it
Yayyy I made two now!
Very clear guideline to make elephant!! But bit slow, that's no problem.
I did it slower then other videos because people told me I go to fast :p
And going slower is better dan going faster!
Okay, thanks for your reply.
You can always speed up in the configuration
I had saw ur all video they are so nice👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful 😊
Super
This model is very Cool I love it! thank you for explein só Well.
im struggling at 19:14 on to 20:16. im not exactly sure where the folds are and how you reached that shape
Wow 😲😱 it like orginal elephant
I did not understand 20:07 AT ALL! I got so lost with it I ripped it into little pieces because no this many times I rewind your hands where I the way, maybe you should show us how the hell u make it
that was clear
just keep trying, its easy, and it turns out really nice in the end
So nice
Oh I wonder WERE ARE THE HORNS?!
Tusks not horns
Yes you are right
I wonder why everyone makes that mistake
@@alexz7047 you are correct
ethan liao there tusks
*_If You Think You Cannot Do It_*
*_Let me say , I am only 12 years old and I too did it in First Try_*
im 12 to and i did it
i too
Ooo I’m 12 too lololololololol
12 the best age😂😂
Thanks for this amazing model!
Wow awesome
This is the best origami for me
Am I the only one who thinks the origami in the thumbnail looks quite different from the final product? For reference it’s at 46:21
wat da heck happens at 19:30?!?!?!?!?! I CAN'T DO IT!!!!!!!
its nor imposible i dit it
not*
you can also use the crease pattern, it can help you out!
same. But I think my paper is too thin for this. But yeah !
bring everything to one point and squash it down then take it apart and try again lmao took half an hour but worked for me
Perfect, don't leave this, bruh
I don't have paper that's big enough for the 50 by 50 cm elephant what is the best option for me? I only have paper that's 45 by 45. Could I have a little help?
I really liked how this elephant was made, and I want to fold it.
45 by 45 is a good size as well if it's thin enough, but you can easily buy wrapping paper that's big enough
Yes 45 x 45
How do you think like thos
Great tutorial! I appreciate you taking it slow, thanks.
you're welcome!
PERFECTTT
very nice
19:30
YA LIKE HOW I GAVE UP ALR
Paper Elephant 👍
Very nice
Where did you take the diagram from? Regards
Hi! I folded the model from the crease pattern and made my own diagram ;)
Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!!😉
Nice
what size paper to make the smaller elephant please
The smaller elephant is made from 35x35cm of Tant paper
@@carolyncoleman-harper2212 Tant is available on Origamishop.com. We bought the kraft paper used in the video just in a local store. You can sometimes find it as wrapping paper
👌👌👌
also the legs do not look anything like the initial picture
u right
26:27 algún consejo con esta parte, no me sale :(
Hi! Thks for your work. I'm looking for instructions of the human body origami made by Sipho Mabona. I can't find it! Can you help me?
I can't find a diagram... If you can give me a diagram I can make it, but probably this model is not published...
It's why I asked to you :). It's not published. If you find a diagram tell me ;). Thanks for your support !
Plz can you make one more vid of this with step by step
n
nnnnnn.......nnnnn
nnnnnnnn nnnn
How many were actually able to do this.
According to people that shared pictures on instagram: a lot
Funally hheeeehheehhee
super 👌
Can someone tell me how to do 16:30?
Thx so easy!!!
lmfao
Muchas gracias por hacer el tutorial!!!! Lo logre, me costo bastante!!!!
Can t understand what you did on minute 25:00
It's indeed the most difficult step, i have to admit!
You have to make a double rabit ear fold!
nice
Can it be made with cardboard? 🤩
Will be too thick I think...
É MUITO DIFÍCIL, como é aquele negócio quando chega em 19:15??
Felipe Pereira jh8
pls make the video of tiger
i love it but i do not know how to fold the feet
It's easy just have to try
I did it this is a good video can you make me an elephant for free if I give you one of mine
I'm stuck at 15!!! I domt understand! I've done 10 new pieces from scratch and started the video over but I cant figure wtf is going on from 15 n up 😭😭😭😭
Omg napravio si slona kako mi da ga napravimo kad ti ruke stoje nasred srede
I don’t know what size is my paper
Ok
Please make a tortise
What kind of paper do you use? And where can I find it?

great！！it took me 2 hours
How many of you are able to make it
easy
Doesn't look like the finished picture, especially the legs!
No I can not make it
what happens at 17:19?
My look messy
Mine also
Круто
Reasonable design but the proportions are all wrong (rather John montroll like) the head is far too big and the legs are far far too short
Pretty nice but you didn't explain how to shape well the face
You can't really shape the face with this kraft paper... You should wetfold it
Cristian Argenesis dhsyhegqyh
Bro please timelapse
20:16
Your supposed to use a GIANT paper
You can use whatever size you like, it'll only affect the size
It is very hard. Please make a very easy to make a video.
It's so hard but I made it
