Manigami Jumping Frog - master class

Jumping frogs are probably the most popular homemade toys from childhood. Who among us did not like and does not like to make small origami figures, which are very similar to swamp beauties, and can also jump under the influence of the lightest pressure. In this lesson we will talk about such a model. Only this model will not be a simple paper and green, but made of a real money bill. Of course, if you take a dollar bill, you will get a really green frog. Here is a model made of a 100-ruble bill. The frog has a torso, head, small front legs, but the main part of the frog is the back curved legs. Thanks to them, the figure can jump high. Just press with your index finger on the back, then release with a sharp movement and the figure will jump.
Materials to create a manigami craft - bill. That's it.

[H3]How to make a jumping manigami frog with your own hands[/H3]
1. Place the prepared bill vertically. You can even smooth it out with a warm iron so that you can fold the figure perfectly in the future.

2. Photo 2 demonstrates 1 part of the bill that you should repeat. Make an X-shaped line. It is necessary to mark such folds for further folding. To do this, fold at an angle of 45 degrees, first fold one top corner and smooth it out well, then the second corner (smooth it out too).

3. Lower the top of the money rectangle from the vertical position down, but squeeze the sides of the sides. It is necessary to close the paper inside. In the specified part of a rectangle a multilayered triangle should be formed. This triangle will be isosceles. You can see the shape of the model at this stage on photo 3.

4. Smooth all the lines again and work with the top layer of the selected triangle. Lift up the two side corners of the triangle and join them at the 3 right angles. The bottom of the triangle will bend in the center and the two sides should fit together perfectly. Look at photo 4 to see how the proposed design should look like.

5. Now work with the remaining part of the bill. Fold the two sides vertically without unbending the top structure, as shown in photo 5. The sides should come together perfectly in the center. Smooth the future frog at this stage.

6. Now make a horizontal fold approximately in the center, lifting the bottom part up.

7. Start folding the top raised side into an accordion. Approximately 1 cm apart, slide the paper up and down until you have folded the entire length of the paper.

8. Turn the blank over and you will see a jumping frog. The animal's head is pointed and there are 2 small legs at the bottom of the front. Lower the legs and lean your frog on them. The back part, which is curved in an accordion, is the model of the structure that helps it jump.

9. The manigami model of a jumping frog is ready. You can also make it out of paper.
