Modular origami - cat
How to make a cat out of modules?
In the first lesson we propose to consider the traditional scheme. For it we will need modules of white and any other colors. The author of the lesson used paper blanks of any color. As for the final stage of design, you can use absolutely any materials from appliqué to doll accessories.
- We will fold the first row as follows.
- This circle consists of 50 blanks. The result should be a ring like this.
- We assemble the next two rows in the same way, placing the modules in a checkerboard pattern.
- Next, according to the diagram for assembling an origami cat from modules, we insert three white blanks.
- In the fifth row, we put six more on these three white modules, and then in each subsequent row we add one.
- In this way we move the next 11 rows, at this stage there should be 15 white modules in a row. From this moment we begin to remove one module at a time. This will look like a rounded breast.
- At this stage of the master class on making a modular origami cat, the chest ends and the colored rows begin again. To connect the head and body, add three more white modules in the middle part.
- Let's move on to the next stage of making a modular origami cat - the head. To do this, we form a series of modules by inserting them on the other side. We form the next row with modules in the same position.
- This is what the workpiece currently looks like from above.
- In the third row we take three white modules and arrange them in accordance with the breast.
- Next we form the cheeks and the head itself.
- We gradually bring the modules together to form a head.
- We will decrease the last three rows by three modules so that in the last row you get 41 modules. Next, we form the ears, as shown in the picture.
- We make the cat's tail from triangular modules from a strip of blanks curved along the body.
- All that remains is to decorate our cat and everything is ready!
Modular origami cat - assembly diagram of the famous Kitty
The popular cat with a bow is currently one of the most popular characters. It can be found not only on children's handbags, but also on adult things. We suggest looking at a diagram of how you can make a Kitty cat out of modules.
To work, we will need white (588 pieces), pink (132 pieces) and green (14 pieces) modules. We will use felt for decoration.
- We form the first row of 28 white blanks.
- On the second row you need to add two pink blanks; they will play the role of shorts in the future.
- The next level consists of 28 white modules and two colored ones. We insert the pink modules as shown in the picture.
- Next, we move according to the diagram and use more pink modules, as indicated in the figure.
- Now we turn over the work done and make the next row only from pink modules.
- The next two rows are also colored. And on the seventh row we form sleeves for Kitty’s blouse from green modules.
- Next, we form the neck and arms from the green modules.
- We lay the next row on the other side and form a neck.
- Let's start shaping the head. It is slightly larger in size and consists of 35 modules.
- Next, we bend the rows with our hands and form the head.
- All that remains is to cut out the handles and eyes according to the templates. To do this, you can use thick paper or felt.

We invite you to consider the diagram and algorithm for making the cat Ryzhik.
For this handsome man we need 480 modules of 1/16 size, for the chin and cheeks we need to make 44 modules of 1/64 size and 74 modules of 1/32 for the tail.
1) We will start with the front paws.
2) For the first row, take 3 modules and place them on the short side, for the second row ─ 2 modules. And so you will need to alternate 18 rows.
3) For row 19, take 3 modules. And on the 20th row we connect the paws of our cat together, this will require 20 modules.
4) Then we alternate modules 5 and 6 for another 6 rows. For the 27th row, take 4 modules, and for the 28th row, 5 modules.
5) Then from 29th to 33rd we alternate modules 4 and 5, and from 34th to 39th ─ 3rd and 4th modules.

And now we present to your attention the assembly diagram for the Lizon cat.
1) First, we need to assemble a circle of 50 modules that will be connected to each other.
2) We assemble subsequent rows using the same principle in a checkerboard pattern.
3) Next you need to insert 3 white modules.
4) And we assemble the next 11 modules according to the same principle, and after there are already 15 modules in a row, it will be necessary to reduce their number. Then a rounding will be obtained, and this completes the production of the body.
5) Now we begin to assemble the cat’s face from the modules. We form a series of modules, inserting them into each other one by one. We also insert 3 white modules into the head and after that we begin to form the cheeks and head, as shown in the figure.
6) We form the modules gradually, in the last 3 rows we reduce 3 modules each so that in the last row we get 41 modules. And after that we form the ears.
7) In order to assemble the tail, you need to form a strip from the modules and bend it in the desired direction and attach it with glue.
For our beauty’s face, we use improvised materials, or those that you bought at a hardware store, and decorate it. We attach eyes, nose, mouth and antennae, and everything else is at your discretion. Well, our beauty is ready.
