Good Day All..
I wish that you are at your best....
I want to make an origami doll that I can move its hands up and down (i.e. waving). please.
I used to make it when I was a kid but now I can not... it is like the flipping bird origami that moves the wings.
Thanks in advance

Could you make us a drawing how the puppet looked approximately? The model doesn't ring a bell for me from the description, but maybe if I have a picture I can remember or reverse engineer it.

I am very grateful. Thank you

I am very sorry, No. It does not. The origami is paper folding like any other origami, no pins are used. There is a hole on the shoulders that another piece of origami paper (Looks like hands, the paper is one from one end, the other end is decided into two parts for the two hand to come out from the holes) but come out and we can move it from inside to outside (the puppet looks like it moves its hand down and up or lowers and ups its hands).
For now Can you just teach me how to fold the human origami in the picture? Please.
I am very grateful.
