Due Cigni - 'Two Swans' (Design by David Derudas)

I came across this design last week and thought I’d give it a try this weekend, it being a long weekend and all. It’s by David Derudas and as surprising as it may look, it’s folded from a single sheet of paper! The most complex step I found in the instructions was step 7 – 8 as this particular step encompassed a tricky technique in order to get a different color on each side of the model.

What paper to use:
I used a 9″ square sheet of single side colored paper (black and white) to fold this particular model which you see in the accompanying image. You can also try duo-colored paper with each side colored a different shade. I found that a 9″ sheet produced a final model of about 5″ approx, so you can select the size of paper accordingly.

How to fold:
Pajarita.org, which is a Spanish origami site has a lot of diagrams and tips on origami. This is also where I found the diagrams for David Derudas’ Two Swans. You can find the diagram here.

Have a great weekend!!
