Handmade origami is a traditional culture and art in China, and it is also a manual work that reflects people's ingenuity. Don't look at a small origami, it will become a pattern you can't imagine when folded. I often see children playing with origami. Handmade works such as flowers, bags, boats, birds and rabbits seem to be easily completed by children in a few minutes. A closer look is really good, not worse than the handicrafts sold outside!

Steps to share origami dragonflies:

First, prepare a rectangular piece of paper, as long and narrow as possible, so that it looks good when folded and turns well.

Second, fold the lower left corner of the rectangular paper to the upper right corner.

Third, fold the lower right corner to the upper left corner to form a triangle.

Fourth, use scissors to cut the left and right sides of the triangle by one-third of the width, and then fold the two sides in half to form a thin neck.

Fifth, cut the widest part vertically from the middle and stop at the neck.

Sixth, bend the cut two halves in two opposite directions, like a shuttlecock, and the paper dragonfly will fold.
