The finished model measures 10cm (4in) long and 8cm (3in) high. I folded the one above from a 15cm x 15cm (6in x 6in) square of red kami, or origami paper because I quite like origami dragons in red.

You can fold the Bird Base Dragon in about five or six minutes. It’s the best origami dragon for beginners because it is very simple to fold.

There are countless different types of origami dragons out there – including the eastern dragon, western dragon, a dragon with four feet, and a dragon with two feet.

Where is he, that’s what I want to know?
