In this tutorial you’ll learn how to make an origami Tyrannosaurus Rex step by step. I’ve created this origami when I was actually designing my Velociraptor and ended up with wrong proportions. Both dinosaurs were made from the same base, just changing the proportion of the head and some details in the legs and tail.
If you like dinosaurs, check out my playlist and try also the Velociraptor and the Brachiosaurus:

► DIAGRAMS:
► DIFFICULTY LEVEL: low intermediate
► MY PAPER: 20cm x 20cm Green Tissue-foil (
This paper has a beautiful texture and holds the creases very well. It’s not a complex origami and you can use small sheets too.
Standard origami paper works, but it’s not the most recommended. If you use this kind of paper, check the tips below to keep the shape (specially the last one).
► TIPS TO KEEP A BETTER SHAPE
This origami doesn’t have any locks to keep it closed and a common problem is that the body tends to spread open. So, here are some tips to keep a better shape on your T-Rex:
● Use a good paper that holds the creases very well.
● Curve the tail. This will help to prevent the body from opening.
● Don’t use a large sheet if the paper is too soft (legs wouldn’t hold well the weight).
● Wet-fold if you use heavy paper that allows this technique.
● Don’t shape the back and add a small paper clip holding the internal layers (and hidden by the external ones)

Made my first origami yesterday: a butterfly that looked difficult. It felt easy for me and I thought no guided origami can defeat me now. So I bought stacks of cute origami and immediately advanced myself to T-Rex level.
Although I did complete it… I tap out. No more origami for me.
ass .all my paper
is gone
who in 2026?🥶
So much hard 😢😢😢😢😢
thanks
this man was my childhood. my dad introduced me to this channel, and I got hooked up right away. I was so enganged in doing origami back then to the point I didnt study for my exam, and I got bad grades 🤣🤣 I used to struggle with the difficult one but now I managed to do most of them. I am grateful to grow up with folding papers instead of phone and tablet 😊😊
