Guest Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I just wish I could do something like this, but no way! but have you tried? I had to keep unfolding and refolding but I persevered. I'm not particularly nimble fingered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 she's got a friend just thinking, they'd look so cool as place cards, just pop the name under the wing where the white bit of paper shows through. I'm definitely going to knock a few out and use as gift tags. Thought I might just use a hole punch through the tail and thread some ribbon through The white bit at the base is perfect for writing a short message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 That paper really suits a hen doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I really like the paper on that last one, as Lesley says, it really suits her. I'm terrible at following instructions but i'll see if OH fancies having a go. One of the first things he did when i met him was make a jumping frog from my five pound note.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've made one . I did in in a few minutes while waiting for my friend to pick me up for our step class so it doesn't look at good as your one Poet . The beak's not quite right . Anyway, I'll post a picture when I get back . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yay! I made one! Only out of white paper though so it doesn't look very exciting but it is definitely a chicken! Woohoo! Thanks Poet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_H Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Does look a bit fiddly though... Its not too bad actually Start with an A3 sheet of paper - cut into square - follow video - PAUSE it at EVERY step - mine is sitting looking at me right now!! (almost as bad as the real thing!!!)

Guest Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 we need photos good aren't they ANH, tuck the end of your tail in and readjust your head and it'll look perfect I thought you could make them out of wrapping paper and hang them on your Christmas tree, just another idea?

Chook n Boo Mum Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've made one out of a sheet of s"Ooops, word censored!" paper, so she has "waffle" printed on her! but she does lay her egg, so I must have done it right! Will cut some squares of wrapping paper & see how she looks, and also get the children making them at the weekend - DS will love it! Sorry can't do pics as my camera is awol at the mo, must go through all my various bags to locate it.... !! Yet another Omlet obsession is born , thanks Poet!

Looney Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Tadaaaa! Sorry it is such a small picture.....but it is also a small chicken! It is about 1 inch tall and is now sat on top of my monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm not sure how much work is getting sone today, unless you all have jobs in Origami!!!

Guest Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Tadaaaa! Sorry it is such a small picture.....but it is also a small chicken! It is about 1 inch tall and is now sat on top of my monitor wow, that's better than mine! I think my paper is a bit too thick. I was having a coffee in town today and I started trying to do it with the til receipt! I could see people watching me at other tables but I couldn't remember how to do it off the top of my head. Wouldn't it be funny if you found an origami chicken on a cafe table, you'd know an omleteer had been there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
