How to make a paper frog
A origami lesson sent by David Prat.
The construction of a paper frog adds some degree of difficulty to the
lessons of origami showed until the moment. Ideal for those who are looking
for more complexity in their creations.
Due to their size, it is convenient to use big sheets of paper to make this
work better, specially to attain easier folds.
It is advisable for the origami beginner to begin with the other four previous tutorials on this site to make some practice before going on with the frog.
Firstly make the square base.
To know how to make a paper square base , see the lesson:
