This is my first ever origami mosaic design that I've created because I wanted to make one myself but i don't have the money to buy the templates so i created this 3d flamingo mosaic and decided to share it to everyone who also wanted to make it too.

Credit to Genie's Art & Crafts on YouTube for his guide on how to make the mosaic, this wouldn't have been possible with out him and if you are interested in trying to make your own Origami mosaic then check out his videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6iwRjl5-nc&list=LL&index=1&t=839s

Second you have to cut the paper along the solid lines then fold the dashed line, use glue to connect the sides together to make a tetrahedron

*Notes*

  1. Remember that The Numbers with the Letter B in front is the number of the pieces (examples:B1 = the pieces with number 1 in the picture.)
  2. The sides with The number with the Letter B in front are the sides that will be glued to the floor (always).
  3. If you don't know which sides does the pieces connect then check from the picture or find the sides that has the same length as the pieces before the one that you are holding.
  4. Every pieces are Tetrahedron

Gluing

In this step we are going to slowly making each pieces one by one then we will glued it to the floor my suggestion is to start from the beak, slowly make your way up to the head then down to the neck or you could start from the neck and work your way up to the beak of the flamingo.

The flamingo picture in this step is the finished origami mosaic.

This origami is made from application called Blender and pepakura designer
