The Origami Forum

Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to the Origami stuff.
I was looking for diagrms that will look like the pet shop toys (my kid is crazy about them) characters - preferably 3D.
I have some rough ideas how to start doing that but was wondering if any of you expert can assist?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum!

What is "pet shop toy character"? Any picture or other explanation?

Sorry, I assumed this "virus" is spreading all over the globe
Here is a link of pictures: http://www.hasbro.com/littlestpetshop/d ... bbrand=448

Thanks

It is not on our side of the globe, but... I will sell it! And I will be very rich...
They are nice, I like them. But, why make it from the paper?

Ok just remmember who started you up when you're rich

Why do I want to make them from paper? Because it is different then everyone else have and because I can make them unique and make my daughter happy. (besides I can't afford new one every day )
Can you help?

My original thought were to combine some head based on inflatable waterbomb with ears sturcture on some legs/body structure. If you know good diagrams to do something like this (or any of these parts or any other idea) it might help me (as I said, I am a beginner and have very limited knowledge of Origami).

Hey,
If you're patient enough (I'm not!) you might wanna try making a pet using this kind of origami: http://origami.bluepop.us/labels/Diagrams.html

That's what your petshop animals reminded me of.

Thanks Sebyfrog. That's nice, but seems a lot to spring on a begginer like me (the instructions are not clear and it will probably take me forever).
Any other suggestions?

Hey!
How about Halle's diagrams, his models look pretty cute and cartonish?
And they are not very difficult.

Thanks Sebyfrog, I did not know these and they look nice. I will try and see how I can handle them.
Please let me know if you think of anything else

I tried http://design.origami.free.fr/halle/Pho ... 20Pato.pdf
and I have a couple of questions:
1) The little piece of paper that is connecting the two cubes, holdes them very loosly together. A I doing something wrong or that's the way there is.
2) Inserting the beak and eyes is very difficult. Does anyone have any tips on that?
