If you are creating a giant origami stage set, or perhaps a wall filled with origami party decorations, you may like this giant origami pheasant, with a crown, as he makes a great friend for the giant origami partridge or even the paper peacock! I grew up making origami as a child, and as a mother needing party decorations for my kids realized that origami could also work using the largest paper I could find, generally wrapping paper! And the creative part about origami is that you create an environment for your origami, or add pattern to the origami pieces themselves. Either way, give it a try, plus it is great for your brain to try and figure out the instructions!
I made these using paper sold for covering books (yes, that is still done here in Israel, and kids look forward to choosing new fun paper each year) with the width of the paper dictating the size of the bird.
The book I used is from 1960 and had actual origami figures in it, precious!
Here are the instructions, go for it!
