HOW TO: elegant 3d origami "stick-tail" peacock

[MasterOfLight12380]

Will it fall over

[yuuki1310]

i read that u buy wrapping paper for the gold pieces on your peacock tutorial, doesn't it cost a lot to have such a wide range of colors AND all of those colorful piaces are made from copy paper? copy paper is quite expensive when they are colored, especially when u hav so many projects using a lot of paper

[jewellia7777]

@yuuki1310 wrapping paper is only $2 here (i live in newzealand). and yes its expensive to get a whole bunch of colours, so if you dont make as much as me then its better to get a multicolour pack from $10-$20

[McDoom619]

I LUV IT! i made one of normal paper for my aunt and she loved it! now im making one of coloured paper. THANKS

[gboiz88]

I DID IT!! Thanks a lot!

[purplemonster87]

how many peices of paper would i use for this model?

[jewellia7777]

@purplemonster87 at 0.05 it says the pieces, and each paper gives 32 pieces so you just divide the pieces by 32 to get the sheets :)

[jewellia7777]

@Wildpath35 yes, look at my channel and recent vids, it says julia ZHU

[jmobraccini]

I just loooove your work ^^

[origamifreak2]

OMG I REALLY LOVE THIS! I JUST HAVE ONE ?. when ur doing the outline for stick B and A, they look lie different colors, are they? I really need you to answer quickly because I'm starting a stick tail RIGHT NOW!

[jewellia7777]

@origamifreak2 the outline for the spots is all hot pink

[97deniel]

thanks for all

[remelia777]

That is wonderful i might make that someday !

[happydrastictiger]

I like this song! How is it called?

[superanimallover19]

yay i made it xx looks amazing ;)

[superanimallover19]

yay i made it xx looks amazing

[superanimallover19]

i havent got enough pink left is there another colour that would look good to replace it ???

[jewellia7777]

@superanimallover19 darkblue or darkgreen

[jAdeJAdA365]

how do u keep the triangles together without it falling apart?

[jewellia7777]

@jAdeJAdA365 i dont do anything other than slot them on, they just easily stay on

[heyitsme90210]

Nonono! Jewellia is the best cuz jewellia can design. Kudos to you, Julia Zhu!

[jewellia7777]

@heyitsme90210 thanks^^

[Sheepiesheep99]

The song should of been Peacock by Katy Perry :)

[monkeybakeapie]

i have a problem doing the circles i fallow the steps how com it never stays put any tips



[jewellia7777]

@monkeybakeapie lots of people have that problem, the main reason is cos the paper is slippery

[unnessasarylongname]

hey jewelia in ur opinion who do u think is the best 3d origamist? i think its jaxster ur the second best :D

[jewellia7777]

@unnessasarylongname yeah, same^^ although on his 3dorigami site there are some people who make more bigger intricate impressive things than him, he has a better aesthetic and better presentation^^

[ImaginationCrafts]

@jewellia7777 Screw jaxter ive been with julia from the start shes awesome hes alright :L

[ImaginationCrafts]

@jewellia7777 Screw jaxster ive been with julia from the start shes awesome hes alright :L

[3Dorigamidude]

would it look the same if i halved the size or triangles but double the amount like 1 regular triangle = 2 smaller? but each row or regular would be 2 row of smaller 

[jewellia7777]

@3Dorigamidude i think so, never tried it before. it'd look more finer and detailed since the pieces are smaller, like computer pixels

[ashrekum]

exellent

[nastuhaish]

What size of the triangles??

[jewellia7777]

@nastuhaish 1/32 of an A4 paper ~ 3.7 x 5.2 cm. look up 3d origami for beginners, the vid shows you how to divide paper into rectangles to cut, how to fold and how to connect into a circle

[darkdesi1234]

wow totaly amazing i think my favorate 3d origami

[ikaygozum]

thank you,,for sharing,,,i really appreciate u

[supkaZBanana]

the best tutorial i have ever seen

[jewellia7777]

@supkaZBanana thanks!

[3DOrigami3D]

Thanks jewellia made that :D i love your guides (especially this) tho its hard to insert tails succesfully :/

[jewellia7777]

@3DOrigami3D thanks^^ you're welcome, yeah the tails are really annoying

[blackbloodemoeater]

ohhhh....pretty

[henff]

jewellia7777 is the best erver!!!!

[Emciixteen]

i like the second song

[5mArLa5]

what this song ?:)

[AvielBuskila]

Hey jewellia7777 first it was amazing but every time i am not hold the tail it fall dwon because it's Heavy so what i can do? and Thanks anyway.

[AmeliaAdama]

Thank you for the video, I made my first peacock and l'm going to send to my mom in brazil.

[saturnplus2000]

Hey jewellia7777, can you a video of how to place the tail on the body...it's hard! Thanks!

[jewellia7777]

@saturnplus2000 you just put them on how you normally put pieces on, the closest thing to that which i show is putting on necks on swans, its similar. i know the tails are annoying cos they're next to each other and you may knock some when you place tails next to each other. and they're heavy and tip over. you just have to slot them on hard and straight up and probably glue them if you want to make it easier, also if its a gift, cos the tails just arent that stable

[kllaus8d]

WOW!Amazing.

[kx3clock]

alright thanks!

[kx3clock]

I cant get the stick tails to be placed properly they overlap each other and fall off when I try to put them on

[jewellia7777]

@kx3clock yeah the tails are heavy and sometimes break. u'd just have to glue any fragile parts on

[cutieputie29]

If I made it smaller like 10,20, or 18 for the base or rows, how much triangle s do I use for the tail

[jewellia7777]

@cutieputie29 i dunno cos i havent done that. just play around with it to see what looks right

[Origamidebomb]

very cool i made it and it looks awesome =)

[CreativeCassyXD3]

I like your music :P

[jewellia7777]

@CreativeCassyXD3 thanks ^_^

[meanleanchris96]

Looks awesome... I feel like making the first part as a "scope" for my bow, but then the time it takes to get the paper, shape the paper, sit here in hours of confusion... its just not working out. How long did it take for you to make this?!

[jewellia7777]

@meanleanchris96 about 30 mins to an hour (folding time is separate since i used to fold at school or just bring blocks of paper with me when i go out)

[newashleyjersey]

This is my second one of these im making but my first one won't stand up the tail weighs too much in the back and tips it over. How did you get yours to stand up without falling over. The second one is being sold to someone thats why i ask.

[jewellia7777]

@newashleyjersey yeah the sticks are annoying, u have to glue them to stop them slipping. mine tips over sumtimes too, but you just have to push the sticks on tight so that they stand up straight. i used to make it and then pick it up by the sticks and see which bits slip, and add hot glue there, but there will always be something slipping so i recommend gluing every single piece for the stick tails, and maybe even the last 2 rows of the body. the sticks just have to stick up tight and straight

[14hsoj]

this looks awesome i could never make all the triangles though



[angelinaustria04]

this is one of my favorites. I'm trying to make one and about to finish. thanks to you. you're an inspiration.

[2142ordbok]

no life lol

[jewellia7777]

@2142ordbok y?

[emobunnyrevolution]

how long did this take you?! @ _ @

[ketagawakei]

what kind paper u use?

[jewellia7777]

printer paper

[manerules100]

hey jeweilia i masde it but different collors and it looks cool thxs :)

[MegMegcat10]

Go to your URL and put a "Q" in between you and tube.

[pokeuploads]

so how did u discover 3d origami

[jewellia7777]

i saw plain white swans at my mums friends house (the daughter made them). i looked it up on the net (since i came across it b4 but didnt think i'd like it since i didnt do modular origami, but it was impressive in real life), found it again, lurnt it (plain white swan), got coloured paper, made other stuff lookn at pics on the net. got the books later on for new ideas, lookd up more 3d origami pics, and developed so much since then lol

[AznDevil1019]

@jewellia7777 thats kinda what i did but i didnt go to anybody house

and people in my family keep on telling me to keep up the good work and make them some and hen they start showing there friends o.O and then i started making like alot most of them r yours i used ur tutorial and make alot of them

[dswiigamer1]

where have you all make this things

[dswiigamer1]

jewellia you are the best i hear on beginner vid are 1 chinese song i are too chinese i think that you right a little chinese is dat right???? bye

[jewellia7777]

im chinese but i dont speak or write it, cos i speak diojiu, and was born in newzealand. i just hav azn songs since i watched brown sugar machiatto and liked the songs from that

[STARPHROST]

wowzah!! looks more like a phoenix

[TheCatlover90]

can you make a vid where u r going to show the book where u look from the 3D origami OR can you just tell us it's name???

[jewellia7777]

"more and more 3D origami". theres also "3d origami" and "more 3D origami". you can easily find these 3 books by typing "3d origami book" on google and its on amazon.

[SupGloria]

did you make all of the pieces yourself?? do you have any advice on how to make them more.. well, more matching with eachother lol

[jewellia7777]

i make them myself. i do that too. sum r a bit smaller than others, sum flaps arent folded accurately but u dont see them anyway when u slot them on. if 1 piece looks a bit small or big/ "wrong" from the rest in the row wen i slot it on, i take it off and replace it with another. it mite look alright with sum other smaller/ bigger pieces later on. just cut the paper into rectangles accurately and not in a rush (like i do lol) 2 get equal pieces

[whitelyswan26]

It is beautiful picture...I love it how do you get it?

[madushi18]

I made this with my own colours.....thank u sooooooo much.......plz upload more amazuing things like this.....thankz again...!!!

[IRONMANANDY2]

how do you fold the little pieces?

[jewellia7777]

[daytimefrogger]

Wow that is amazing!!!

[samantaaaaa]

thanks :* i made it and it's gorgeous/ thx again:*

[1stbluerayou]

how do you make those little things

[jewellia7777]

watch the beginner vid

[thdrjsdnBRB]

just wandering, where did you get the books from?

[nandpaull]

Everything is very clearly explained. Wonderful work: D. Just need to have some time.

[iwuvmypiano]

this is amazinG!!! XD u are amazing! u should make more bird tutorials! u can be world famous for this!! XD

[musicfan4life100]

oh and my family loved the peacock (i called it a turkey) GREAT IDEA.

[killertiger909]

when you put on the "tail" part, is it inverted?

[jewellia7777]

yes

[megawolf21]

the desings are so awsome they make me want to cry that i'm too lazy to make like 900 of those things...

[thdrjsdnBRB]

your turotials are so gud, the first time i saw it i thought it was so complicated but after watching it a few times its so easy!!! :-)

[luticia]

Never did Origami, wanna try this peacock. QUESTION: WHICH TYPE OF PAPER DO YOU USE??? AND WICH SIZE? Thanks!!

[jewellia7777]

printer paper, watch the beginner vid of how 2 start

[luticia]

Thanks buddy! Really wondering cause printer paper is pretty thin.

[thdrjsdnBRB]

a bit too complicated but nice peacock

[jewellia7777]

watch the beginner vid 2 know the basics, all 3d origami is easy if u kno how 2 make it

[Havax11]

best of luck to all of my fellow 3D origami makers! Especially you, Jewellia7777!

[musicfan4life100]

I use index cards and it was a lot bigger and stiffer. That right their is the best 3d object I could have made, and I loved making it. And the only disadvantage is that you can't get black or red index cards, not that I know of. I just replaced the red with more pink. My peacock is about 2 feet tall, but my one colored swan is only one. Thanks a loooooooooooot for the tutorial, you;ve helped a lot of people make the peacock, including me!!!!! Thaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnkkkkkk­kkkkkksssssss again!!!

[jewellia7777]

your welcome, what are index cards? playing cards?

[musicfan4life100]

index cards are rectangle cards that you can find at office max, staples. Just go in and ask for them. They are usually in packs of 100 or 300 and are most of the time striped. just fold so the blank side is showing. Those are what index cards are

[Havax11]

Hahahaha... You are so right iiPopsicle! Looooooooooooooooooooots of pieces.

[Havax11]

hmm... it's a little too fancy for my taste. But GOOD WORK!!! Good job on all of your origami!

[barbarat713]

tell me you can do with any type of paper or is there a special role for this

[jewellia7777]

@barbarat713 printer paper. or any paper, test it out first, sum are slippery and dont work.

[musicfan4life100]

I usually used index cards, as posted above. Just a sujjestion because they are already in the right shape to fold it.

[origamidemo]

Super video, very well deomonstrated and clear to understand. 5*

[bonebreakboy]

i just want to correct you, in your vid your number of pcs isn't correct, i made all pcs by your numbers and have left:

28 white,

1 green,

31 yellow,

and 27 pink.

P.S. i made one for my sisters b-day and she was thrilled, thank you very much!!!

[VasilKuzevski]

finally I finished it!

[VasilKuzevski]

its great! can u pls tell me what book do u use? i really want to buy t

[jewellia7777]

type 3d origami book on google and u'll c it on amazon theres 3 books in the series. called 3d origami, more 3d origami, more and more 3d origami

[iiPopsicle]

sooooooooooooo many pieces

[ThePakibwoi4lyf]

what book did you use

[starpeltsky]

This is sm awesome! And it's really nice of you to put up these videos to show us how to make these stuff... thanks! XD

*Hits subscibe*

[Flareluap]

what´s the name of the song from the beginning to 2:31 ?

[jewellia7777]

Mumsdollar - One day. its in the description/ vid info

[darktoto95]

hello it's really amazing!! you don't use glue (yes the neck but just the neck? do you use standar a4 paper like for the school (not thin or fat?) what s the mensurations? (like 10x10 for exemple xd) and the tutorial for the triangle is the same for this like the sawm or ect

thank you very much

[jewellia7777]

watch the beginner vid 2 c how its done. ya all triangles r made the same 4 all models. glue was used for the neck and stick tails (and i put eyes on it after). look up A4 paper, wikipedia has the measurement of A4 paper in the list. sum ppl r confused of wot A4 paper is. it is 1 size only, and is like 21cm x 29cm or sumthn, too lazy 2 check/measure, it'll b on wikipeida. then u fold that A4 paper into rectangles shown on the beginner vid

[InstantJommyFan]

your tutorials are to fast haha i cant see how u connect them...

I tried making mine but since mine falls apart i glued the base down at least but isn't every base piece supposed to be up under up under?? Well like 2 of mine on the base end up being up up and then under under so im confused i did it like halfway and then noticed it was sitting up it wasnt circular so yeah if you could help me and soon i was making this as a bday gift for someone but now i dont think it is is possible hehe ^_^

[jewellia7777]

ya its supposed 2 b under over under over. so if its up, up, then u did it wrong. so just take the 2nd piece ("up, up"), and put it under (so its up down). watch the beginners vid and u shud kno how 2 do it. wen making PAIRS u put 1 triangle on the RIGHT HOLE in ALL of them so they are all in the same side hole. so wen u connect them, it'll easily end up bein under over under over with no confusion. if u connect evry single piece 4 the base u'll make mistakes like up down up up

[InstantJommyFan]

i think that is wat i did but i fixed it now and it is looking pretty so far hehe thanks so much for all your help in trying to figure this out you have been an awesome person helping me figure this out hehe i think my friend will love this and i will post a pic of wat it looks like once i am done hehe ^__^ thanks again!!!

And keep making awesome videos!

[jewellia7777]

kool howd u fix it? gud on u 4 makn it 4 ur frnd, i wish i had a handmade gift, theyr just more special/ better than bawt gifts if its a kool made gift. anyway yeah giv me a link 2 a pic once ur done, cant wait 2 c it

[beyuo08]

:) Excellent

[ChipProduction]

CRAZY!AMAZING

[Florencewhui066]

This is very detailed! =) Good work!

[XPepsiColaX]

nice... thx for the tut i have been waiting a long time ... im gonna make one like this once i find paper stiff enough that will hold

[djnakita]

do you glue every other piece cuz i have the 3d origami books and they advice that and your piece holds very well but mines sometimes come off because i do not use glue..

[jewellia7777]

no i dont use glue, the whole point is that they slot onto each other and stay. did u watch the vid 4 beginners? i show how 2 make a stable base, u shud never hav 2 use glue cz it never comes apart if u just stack the pcs into sticks b4 use, it makes them stronger.

[kittyshadowkr]

what size paper do you use?

[jewellia7777]

A4 sized paper (printer paper), watch the vid for beginners 2 c exactly how i do it, ther may b sum useful tips in ther such as how 2 hold it, how to make the pieces stronger/hold 2gether..etc

[fullerene0]

u won't belive me,i did it 2 days ago looking at a picture :))), its blue, i just adore it !!!!!!!

[manyhobbyfreak]

this is just great tut. i dont need to watch the video for the pieces and it was clearly. im making origami too and as i have time i will make an tut for much southpark caracters in 3d origami

[fhotlips]

jewellia!!! i made this one 2 months ago...i really need to get some pictures up somewhere or a video of all my things. hope you do a video of the other swan ive seen, point tail that starts at base large then comes to 1 point at the top and those pieces are reversed. cant find that pattern anywhere. this one is awesome. Still a huge fan! keep me excited...cant wait for another one

[Parzec]

Quite an awesome and amazing video, as usual =)

[davdatong]

Amazing work! 5 stars!

[bonebreakboy]

thaaaaank you for making this,finally,and it's awesome that i dont have to count pieces in video...

[azneze]

wow, very detailed tutorial, 5 stars

[InstantJommyFan]

Wow this is amazing!!!
