@@civilianjman8 I was thinking the same before i actually try to follow but with a lot of like this like that sorta instruction it is really quite frustrating
Not sure whether it helps, but you can slow down the video in the RUclips player. First, click on the gear icon (in the lower right corner of the player), then select speed and try out 0.75 or so.
Hello Sara! Because one is usually watching these tutorials just when one yet cannot perceive or fold the model, it would be very helpful if you would take your hands of the way and let the learner see the model form many angles from time to time to picture if it matches, instead of turning the model over and about so fast. It is really frustrating to try to see what you are doing and not able to see the outcome of the crease you've just made and how it should look. Do you get my meaning? Thank you very much for doing these videos and also explaining them so fully. It is helpful that you tell us while doing the folds which parts they are going to be in finished model. :) :) :)
Thanks for the feedback. I understand what you mean, and actually try to do this here and there. It seems I don't do it as much as you'd prefer, though. I'll re-evaluate this for my future tutorials and perhaps show the model more often just for a "status check".
Although I rage quit and found parts hard to follow I greatly appreciate the fact that you have a "To the Moon" paper to fold. I'm gonna keep trying so I can get some bunnies!
I hope you succeed! Also, If the rabbit is a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before. I am sure you will master the rabbit, especially from the "To the Moon" paper in the future!
To all commentors and viewers having a problem: Don't give up! This is a very advanced model and learning a new pattern is difficult and takes some practice. I made a quite a few rabbits before I really got the hang of it. Also use light colored paper so you can see your folds better.
Maybe you would be interested in this cute origami piglet. It is easier to do, though the instructions are probably not as good. Anyway it may be a fun challenge. ruclips.net/video/1BofKAAFlpE/видео.html
By 7:00 my paper was already frayed on the edges. The paper is not folding like yours, it's frustrating T ^ T I'll try and try again though, too late to give up after coming this far!
I like the design, but I found it a little hard to follow... Maybe for other videos it would be even better if you went a little slower and didn't use "this" or "that" and words like that because at some point it just becomes hard to follow ^^" Thank you anyway, my mom's smile was as bright as I could imagine :)
Thanks for the feedback! I strive to improve my presentation style with every video I make. Replacing vague references like "this" and "that" with something more specific is something I'll watch out for more. I'm glad to hear, though, that you seem to have completed the fold nonetheless, congrats on that. And happy Easter to you and your family!
At first, I was like "wow, you made a whole new video just for me?? *blush*" Then I saw the To The Moon rabbit. XD Very cool! I'll have to try that for a close friend of mine.
Hey!! This is a great tutorial!! My rabbit didn't turn out exactly as cute as yours did, I think I messed up the ears, but I thought everything you did was super clear! Your explanations made a lot of sense! I first tried to make this a few years ago and I had too much trouble and gave up, but I'm really glad I came back to this tutorial because now I've finally made one!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!!

I love how far your channel has progressed throughout the years!!! Professionalism in teaching the tutorials is amazing compared to when you first started. Just so glad you kept with it, and I love the pieces you do! It's been a while since I've done any origami, contemplating starting again!!!!!
Thanks so much for that feedback! I always strive to improve with each video, so it's really good to hear others notice my progress. Also, I do hope you'll start again - perhaps this video will motivate you to fold the rabbit again?
Wow! It is very beautiful. I got here because of the game To the Moon. I used to make origamis when I was a child. It's been many years since I stopped. I manage to make it in the third try. It looked kind of ugly, but I'll make more till I get it done perfectly. Thanks for the video.
i think I stuffed up, from 5:25 I have no idea wha you are doing. if you could stop throughout the video and show us what it should look like ringt now that would be great bc i think mine looks different but I can't see and I dont know what it should look like
It took several tries until I was able to complete it. Very happy with the way it turned out. The patience and persistence required made it worthwhile. Thank you for your clear instructions.
I enjoyed making it up until round about 5 minutes in when I rage quitted... I had done exactly what you had done but for some reason yours had different flaps and creases. I tryed to continue but it was impossible. I'm confused. The time was around 5:12 where you said to hide the white paper. I don't know where I messed up
I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps try again? Plus, make sure the model is oriented in exactly the same way as I did in the video. Else it can get confusing quickly.
I had exactly the same problem and I did every single stepp like the video until 5:15... I really don't get it even after my second try! So now looking for another rabbit origami...
I wanted to make an easter bunni origami, though this video wasn't EASY, it wasnt hard to follow if I slowed down the video! Thank you sm (message from the future❤)
I'm sorry to hear that. If the video/model is a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before.
It was somewhere around the 8 minute mark where I lost it Seriously I’ve been trying for the past 5-10 minutes and I lowered the speed but I just seriously don’t understand
Maybe you would be interested in this cute origami piglet. It is easier to do, though the instructions are probably not as good. Anyway it may be a fun challenge. ruclips.net/video/1BofKAAFlpE/видео.html
Dear Sara, I love the design, and would love to have completed it but I gave up after not being able to do it for a long time. I have a suggestion for you, when doing the “same on the other side” try to do it methodically just like you did the first side, I found it quite difficult to follow the steps on the other side.
OMG 😱 i made it on my first try! Even if the bunny look a little bit messy tho I didn’t expect to finish it for i have no origami background at all. Overall, i’m so happy with it.. totally worth the time and struggle, thank you so muchhh!
Maybe you would be interested in this cute origami piglet. It is easier to do, though the instructions are probably not as good. Anyway it may be a fun challenge. ruclips.net/video/1BofKAAFlpE/видео.html
I first tried the older tutorial on that bunny but it was too blurry from the middle of the vid. Now I tried this one once again and I just finished my 3-rd bunny and I’m getting better and better. I still struggle in the second hint- somehow I can fold the first one on the spot but the second is a massive difference (lol). But I’m in! It’s so relaxing and challenging at once... Thanks a lot for the tutorial and those I’m Going to watch - and fold:) Happy Easter! 🐣🐰
great tutorial! finally successfully completed it, and I am so happy. the weight of the paper definitely makes a difference. the thinner the paper, the easier the folds, for sure. thanks for a wonderful video :)

Thank you so much for the tutorial, I decreased the speed by half and repeated each step of the video multiple times, tore part of my paper, but after I am finally done ! It’s one of the first I have done and couldn’t be more proud! Thanks so much again
I'm back after a while! I did a lot of these rabbits in the past. Well, in my "first" try the head didn't turn out very nice, I got a bit lost in the middle -- but the piece stands! Thanks for the tutorial.
The suggestion to slow the speed down using the cog button saved me! I had to watch once at normal speed without folding then follow along at half speed before I could complete this model.
When I first saw your video, I raged and died. Now Im able to do it, 5 months later. edit: nevermind I cried while making this. I started to whimper when she kept saying THIS PAPER HERE. OMIGOD JUST SHOW IT FIRSTWHERE i HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE OMIGOD IM GONNA COMMIT TOASTER BATH TUB

That's right. The folding sequence works with any square, although the smaller the paper, the harder it is to get the details right. I usually fold this rabbit from 15 cm squares, though, so 20 cm should work well.
Ah, I'm sorry to hear you find this tutorial too fast-paced. You could try using RUclips's video speed feature to slow it down a bit. Also, it's a more advanced model. If it's a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before.
There are some tricky bits in this design, the hind legs took me several attempts, but I persevered and managed to make a few of these adorable bunnies. The tail is my favorite detail :). I need to get some better/thinner paper, some of my thick folds toward the end felt a little mushy.
Hey i know this video is really old but i just watched it and can say i really enjoyed!!! Fairly easy to follow (i did put it on half speed) and im really happy with the outcome, thanks
Very very very hard to follow. Gave up after like 6 minutes seeing that it looked nothing like the video. I even went back and tried making another and ended up with me just stopping.
Some paper wraps more easily than other. Especially when working with something like printer paper, it helps if the paper stays quite dry. So folding in a humid place will make the process more difficult. Using something sold as "origami paper" that is white on one side and colored on the other will probably work better than printer paper, by the way.
Hi Sara, I finished this afternoon this awesome rabbit. The process is not so easy but with your explanations all become clear. The result is beautiful ! I fold it with kami paper. What paper do you recommend for this model ? I need to buy other paper than kami ;).
I had to take a break and come back to it later, but I did it! I have a bunny! :D I actually adopted my second real-life rabbit yesterday, she's very beautiful but so shy right now until she gets settled in. Maybe she will feel better with some origami friends around instead of just my first rabbit who is so curious he startles her.
I think I've got it...Is it supposed to look very surprised from the front? I can't figure out how to make that gap beneath the head and the chest close...
It was the legs. I missed the last flip forward after you showed the little white triangle, so my first attempt ended up in a "begging" position with the head looking upward, exposing that gap. My second attempt was a thousand times better! I think you've responded to every question I've asked on your channel. I just wanted to say how much I've appreciated the tips and encouragement as I've gotten started in origami. You've created a lovely channel here, as well as a new fan. :)
Great video, great fold :) from about the last 5 minutes, it became a little hard to follow, though. I think it would be nice if ou had shown the model without your hands a little bit more often in the ending, but I get that it's hard to film this well. I completed it anyway and it came out pretty well :)
I think kami works fine. For the rabbit in the thumbnail, I used Tant, which is actually a bit thicker. If you feel like the paper you are using is too thick, try the same paper type, but a larger square. Hope this helps!
I followed each step exactly but at about 10:50, there was a strange gold that was literally impossible to do on my paper and I can’t see where it went wrong
Hi, is it OK if I repost this video on Bilibili, a Chinese video platform, so that people in China can watch it as well? I will not modify the video except adding subtitles, and I will keep the original description + the link to this page.
You are amazing! Thank you! I found Maekawa-san's rabbit just before Easter about FOUR years ago. I tried to follow the diagrams from Genuine Origami. I watched a couple RUclips videos. Easter passed, and I had no rabbit. I put the project aside. A week ago, I decided to try again. Easter is 7 months away. I thought that should be enough lead time. Four years ago, I started with a 15cm square, then a 17.6cm square. This time I decided to start with a 25cm square. I searched RUclips and found your video. I did it!!! Of course, I have a "hutch" of rabbits that are not quite presentable. But, I'm happy with my last model! You are a very skilled tutor. Thank you so much! To everyone out there, this is an advanced model. (At least, I think it is advanced.) This rabbit may be something you have to work up to. Hang in there! Thank you, Sara!
I'm glad to hear you finally managed to fold one of these cute bunnies. You're right, it's a more advanced model. Your tip to work up to the model if it's too challenging right now is spot on!
Nice video! It was quite hard at the first time (due to some imprecise folds) but second time went better and smoother. I find this a very pretty model and I'm planning to gift it to a friend :3
Hello I know its an old video but I really loved this tutorial you gave!💜 I came to your video after playing 'to the moon' and I have a question. Before watching this video I found another tutorial of the same rabbit. I wanted the rabbit to look exactly the same as the rabbit in the game but I saw that your rabbit had a different ear. So I tried to find the difference and found out The other tutorial just stopped at 14:01 and went straight for the ear. But it did not have that "white part" that you hid with a reverse fold. That part made the difference in the ear. Im not sure if I did it wrong or the tutorial. I'm so confused..I tried following the the other tutorial from the start but it was still the same! 😭💦
Yes, that's right. But it's a special video, next week (following my upload schedule of "first Saturday of the month") there'll be a tutorial on a model I haven't presented before. :)
You started this video so well but for the love of everything holy, quit picking up the origami and folding it off the table. As an origami enthusiast I get its habit to fold like that but Speaking as a viewer it makes it extremely difficult and indistinguishable to see what kind of creases you are executing. Very frustrating. Pls keep this in mind
Thanks for your feedback! Here are my thoughts: Actually, it's not just habit. Some folds are easier to perform in the air, and quite often I lift the paper to show steps more clearly, rather than for my convenience. I know it can be frustrating, but (in my opinion) folding this model completely on the table would be much harder, even if you aren't as practiced in origami.
Hello i little bit confused how to do it on 5:00 time and after that i cant follow up the next step...i hope you can explain it..thank you have a good day🌼❤
I'm sorry to hear that. I usually try to point out what I mean by "here". If you give time references as to which "here"s you are unsure about, maybe I or others can help clarify.
Hi - I recently started streaming Origami making (not teaching) on Twitch. And I love following your videos during my stream. I would love to inform you and get your permission -- also will mention during my stream that the model is form your video. Thanks!
Could you send me details on what you'd want to show to sara@happyfolding.com ? Thanks! I like to organize all permission requests and RUclips comments are not the best place for that. :)
thanks for the wonderfull tutorial P.s Gabriella Schumann is my mom I used her account before now I use mine I was the one commenting on your wonderfull videos on my mom's account.😄
thank you for this! i had to repeat a few parts of the video and slow it to 0.75x but it was a good tutorial. :> my bunny is so small (i only had 15cm paper or 5.9inch) to make it so it's a bit wonky in some areas but never the less, very cute
At about 15 minutes, I thought: "This bunny better be beautifull. Or I will kill it. " So. In total I spend an hour and a half on this bunny. I kept on rewinding the video, beause I did not see how I had to fold it. I was really annoyed and at the end, half of the paper was ripped. Because I folded it too much. (I kept making mistakes because I did not understand how it should be done.) At the end ... My "bunny" looks like a ... half dead squirrel or a platypus. And I really want to burn it. Thank you for wasting my time. I will never fold anything again. The design was cute, though.
Don't give up. If this bunny is a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before.
Ha, I'm not a designer myself, so I can't give you much advice. But I hear one good way to start is just doodling with paper (trying out different things) to see whether you come up with something. You can also fold models several times to better understand how they are built. Unfolding also helps with that. If you want to take a more mathematical approach, Origami Design Secrets by Robert Lang is an excellent resource: www.happyfolding.com/book-lang-origami_design_secrets_2nd_edition Hope this helps you with getting started!
Robert Lang's book, Origami Design Secrets, is an excellent bible for understanding origami design. It may be slow to read, but if you try his exercises, you will learn a lot, even if you can't fully understand everything the first time.
i find it really distracting how you fast forward it all the time. But its a nice modell. l'd recommend you to watch Jo Nakashima's tutorials and opy some of the stuff he does in them.
Thanks for the recommendation. I know Jo's fantastic work. We started around the same time with making origami tutorials. Obviously, we have a different presentation style and I believe they both have appeal. Still, there's always more to learn for me and to improve on, also with regards to my tutorials.
At 6:54 I quit cause I couldn’t make “this and that” fold and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out where I went wrong. Already stressed from the quarantine too
Yes, it's a more advanced model. If it's a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before.
"What if you forget... or get lost?"
"Then we can always regroup on the moon, silly!"
I am very lost making this
Are you doing a speedrun or a tutorial?
Go to settings and adjust the playback speed.:)
@@civilianjman8 I was thinking the same before i actually try to follow but with a lot of like this like that sorta instruction it is really quite frustrating
slow down, give time to move your hands out of the way so we can make sure our folds are matching yours 😥
Not sure whether it helps, but you can slow down the video in the RUclips player. First, click on the gear icon (in the lower right corner of the player), then select speed and try out 0.75 or so.
genius! much easier for a beginner like me to follow at a slightly slower speed!! thank you! XD
I agree. I got really frustrated with this one
Lol, what a problem to use space button to pause and arrows key to go back 5 s? Really, ppl make problems with nothing.
@@yorksters1 Even repeating some moments doesn't work?
I can't believe River made hundreds of these. impressive video though! I've done my rabbit!
Congrats on folding your own rabbit!

To the Moon! I love that game so much! Thank you for this tutorial!
You're welcome!
bruh thats why i came here
Why did u come here
I love it too. brought me here.

5:15 too, then she starts juggling with it
Its because it is wrong...for some reason she cut the video and starts in other point. Sad

i have been attempting this complex fold for years -- one day, i will get it. until then, i keep trying, and get a bit further every time.
After 4 attempts I finally made one!!! thank you so much, it looks a bit scuffed but it's fun to make and I shall make more, love To the Moon

omfg me too bruv couz wtf tho are ye talking bout "put this one here" dang man

Utterly amazing! It would be good to take some time at the end to get a decent view of the rabbit from different angles. It deserves it!
The suggestion to slow the speed down using the cog button saved me! I had to watch once at normal speed without folding then follow along at half speed before I could complete this model.
Hello! Just wanted to let you know that it's been 5 years and people are still watching your videos. Good work!
I'm wrong for ever thinking that I could.
I had a will to live before attempting this.
When I first saw your video, I raged and died. Now Im able to do it, 5 months later.
edit: nevermind I cried while making this. I started to whimper when she kept saying THIS PAPER HERE. OMIGOD JUST SHOW IT FIRSTWHERE i HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE OMIGOD IM GONNA COMMIT TOASTER BATH TUB
doing this for my school art project. I tried this a couple of times. but I managed to do it! thanks for the tutorial
Maybe you would be interested in this cute origami piglet. It is easier to do, though the instructions are probably not as good. Anyway it may be a fun challenge.

i tried 3 hours making this and even tho rabbit wasnt good i could see my hardwork in it it thank u so much :)
this is just ricdiculous need more views
It doesn't matter if the paper has a side length of 20 cm, right? The model would just be a little smaller...
That's true, I've tried with a post-it paper and ended up with a tiny yellow rabbit 😂
That's right. The folding sequence works with any square, although the smaller the paper, the harder it is to get the details right. I usually fold this rabbit from 15 cm squares, though, so 20 cm should work well.
SLOW DOWN please
Ah, I'm sorry to hear you find this tutorial too fast-paced. You could try using RUclips's video speed feature to slow it down a bit. Also, it's a more advanced model. If it's a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before.
agree 1000000000%
Pause button.
9:22 I got lost here ;u;
Edit: I replayed it a few times and I finally got it! Thank you so much for the tutorial!! c:
Glad you figured it out. Congrats on your rabbit.
There are some tricky bits in this design, the hind legs took me several attempts, but I persevered and managed to make a few of these adorable bunnies. The tail is my favorite detail :). I need to get some better/thinner paper, some of my thick folds toward the end felt a little mushy.
Congrats on folding your bunnies! Did you manage to find paper that you like better for this model?
Hey great video! I got pretty much everything spot on at 0.75 speed, although I still can’t get the head right. Can you please help?
Can you give me a time reference for which step of folding the head is not working for you?
Hey i know this video is really old but i just watched it and can say i really enjoyed!!! Fairly easy to follow (i did put it on half speed) and im really happy with the outcome, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Help. I’m stuck at around 5:11 Where you start to hide the white paper then I can’t keep up with the folds--. 🤪I’m completely confused
Thanks so much. I am planning on giving this to my friend as a birthday gift. I made the ears a bit different, and I love it!
Very very very hard to follow. Gave up after like 6 minutes seeing that it looked nothing like the video. I even went back and tried making another and ended up with me just stopping.
It was 8 minutes for me
I’m dead inside
way too fast, ripped the paper no mater how gentle I was.
Some paper wraps more easily than other. Especially when working with something like printer paper, it helps if the paper stays quite dry. So folding in a humid place will make the process more difficult. Using something sold as "origami paper" that is white on one side and colored on the other will probably work better than printer paper, by the way.
Hi Sara, I finished this afternoon this awesome rabbit. The process is not so easy but with your explanations all become clear. The result is beautiful ! I fold it with kami paper. What paper do you recommend for this model ? I need to buy other paper than kami ;).
I love Tant for this.
I had to take a break and come back to it later, but I did it! I have a bunny! :D
I actually adopted my second real-life rabbit yesterday, she's very beautiful but so shy right now until she gets settled in. Maybe she will feel better with some origami friends around instead of just my first rabbit who is so curious he startles her.
Congrats! And all the best to your real-life rabbits.
I think I've got it...Is it supposed to look very surprised from the front? I can't figure out how to make that gap beneath the head and the chest close...
Yes, there's a gap in the neck area. It's not intended to be closed.
It was the legs. I missed the last flip forward after you showed the little white triangle, so my first attempt ended up in a "begging" position with the head looking upward, exposing that gap. My second attempt was a thousand times better! I think you've responded to every question I've asked on your channel. I just wanted to say how much I've appreciated the tips and encouragement as I've gotten started in origami. You've created a lovely channel here, as well as a new fan. :)
This is great! The rabbit is adorable! Thank you for the great tutorial :)
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video and of course Jun's wonderful rabbit!
Great video, great fold :) from about the last 5 minutes, it became a little hard to follow, though. I think it would be nice if ou had shown the model without your hands a little bit more often in the ending, but I get that it's hard to film this well. I completed it anyway and it came out pretty well :)
Congrats on completing the rabbit! And thanks for the feedback. I try to improve the clarity of my tutorials with every video I make.
whitch paper do you use for this rabbit. I've tryed with normal paper but its to thick. so I wanna as u whitch paper (not the size ) you use
I think kami works fine. For the rabbit in the thumbnail, I used Tant, which is actually a bit thicker. If you feel like the paper you are using is too thick, try the same paper type, but a larger square. Hope this helps!

Okey Thanks ^^ I'll give it a try.
I followed each step exactly but at about 10:50, there was a strange gold that was literally impossible to do on my paper and I can’t see where it went wrong
Did you figure it out eventually?
Hi, is it OK if I repost this video on Bilibili, a Chinese video platform, so that people in China can watch it as well? I will not modify the video except adding subtitles, and I will keep the original description + the link to this page.
Please email me at sara@happyfolding.com regarding your request.
You are amazing! Thank you! I found Maekawa-san's rabbit just before Easter about FOUR years ago. I tried to follow the diagrams from Genuine Origami. I watched a couple RUclips videos. Easter passed, and I had no rabbit. I put the project aside. A week ago, I decided to try again. Easter is 7 months away. I thought that should be enough lead time. Four years ago, I started with a 15cm square, then a 17.6cm square. This time I decided to start with a 25cm square. I searched RUclips and found your video. I did it!!! Of course, I have a "hutch" of rabbits that are not quite presentable. But, I'm happy with my last model! You are a very skilled tutor. Thank you so much! To everyone out there, this is an advanced model. (At least, I think it is advanced.) This rabbit may be something you have to work up to. Hang in there! Thank you, Sara!
I'm glad to hear you finally managed to fold one of these cute bunnies. You're right, it's a more advanced model. Your tip to work up to the model if it's too challenging right now is spot on!
Do u have more of Jun maekawa origami video like the dragonfly?
No, I've only done a video on his rabbit so far.
Very well explained! I got it at first attempt.
What a cute rabbit! Thanks for the tutorial.
Nice video! It was quite hard at the first time (due to some imprecise folds) but second time went better and smoother. I find this a very pretty model and I'm planning to gift it to a friend :3
Congrats! It's great to hear you folded not just one rabbit, but two. The second time around is usually easier. :) All the best to your friend, too.
This video is a lot more helpful than the old one thnx for the redo:)
You're welcome!
Thanks for this clearer tutorial! I love this model design
I'm glad to hear the tutorial is clearer. The model definitely deserves the best presentation possible. :)
Beautiful model! Thanks for a clearer tutorial on how to fold this amazing model.😀
I'm glad to hear the tutorial is clearer. The model definitely deserves the best presentation possible. :)
Hello I know its an old video but I really loved this tutorial you gave!💜
I came to your video after playing 'to the moon' and I have a question.
Before watching this video I found another tutorial of the same rabbit.
I wanted the rabbit to look exactly the same as the rabbit in the game but I saw that your rabbit had a different ear. So I tried to find the difference and found out
The other tutorial just stopped at 14:01 and went straight for the ear. But it did not have that "white part" that you hid with a reverse fold. That part made the difference in the ear. Im not sure if I did it wrong or the tutorial. I'm so confused..I tried following the the other tutorial from the start but it was still the same! 😭💦
Feel free to vary the ears so they have the shape and look you prefer.
11:15 casually folds 16 layers of paper in half
😎
Try using paper sold as 'origami paper' instead of using printer paper
Is this just a remake video of the one you did a long time ago? Really cool model though!!! I'm definitely gonna fold it for Easter!!
Yes, that's right. But it's a special video, next week (following my upload schedule of "first Saturday of the month") there'll be a tutorial on a model I haven't presented before. :)
Thank you Sara! Just in time for Easter!
I'm glad you like it!
You started this video so well but for the love of everything holy, quit picking up the origami and folding it off the table. As an origami enthusiast I get its habit to fold like that but Speaking as a viewer it makes it extremely difficult and indistinguishable to see what kind of creases you are executing. Very frustrating. Pls keep this in mind
Thanks for your feedback!
Here are my thoughts: Actually, it's not just habit. Some folds are easier to perform in the air, and quite often I lift the paper to show steps more clearly, rather than for my convenience. I know it can be frustrating, but (in my opinion) folding this model completely on the table would be much harder, even if you aren't as practiced in origami.
Ryan Odonnell exactly
Hello i little bit confused how to do it on 5:00 time and after that i cant follow up the next step...i hope you can explain it..thank you have a good day🌼❤
Lovely! * I am soooooo lost * * I’m actually crying * (Help Me)
Anything in particular I can help with?
still quite difficult to follow. you used a lot of "here" in the instruction video, but I don't really know where is it.
I'm sorry to hear that. I usually try to point out what I mean by "here". If you give time references as to which "here"s you are unsure about, maybe I or others can help clarify.
OMG! I got trough! It‘s not beautiful, but you can identify it as a bunny. I nearly rage quitted a few times 😅 spend 1h on this.
Congrats! It gets easier with practice, I promise.
Hi - I recently started streaming Origami making (not teaching) on Twitch. And I love following your videos during my stream. I would love to inform you and get your permission -- also will mention during my stream that the model is form your video. Thanks!
Could you send me details on what you'd want to show to sara@happyfolding.com ? Thanks! I like to organize all permission requests and RUclips comments are not the best place for that. :)
thanks for the wonderfull tutorial P.s Gabriella Schumann is my mom I used her account before now I use mine I was the one commenting on your wonderfull videos on my mom's account.😄
I'm glad you liked the video. And I hope you'll fold lots of rabbits for Easter. :)
thank you for this! i had to repeat a few parts of the video and slow it to 0.75x but it was a good tutorial. :> my bunny is so small (i only had 15cm paper or 5.9inch) to make it so it's a bit wonky in some areas but never the less, very cute
Congrats on your cute rabbit!
Very nice - Thank you from Seattle!
so detailed and clear! thanks so much Sara!
Ah, good to hear that you viewed the new tutorial, too. Better, right? :)
i made it with 6" paper and it turned out so cuteeee
Works alright with smaller paper. :) I used 5.6inx5.6in (14.224 cm) but it was hard to fold the smaller paper because of my big hands xD
Yes, I like folding it from 6in squares, but using larger paper makes it easier to show the details in the video. :)
10:14 Help me please!!!!!!
I just love this model! Thank you very much for this Video!
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Im done it !! it was really cute, Thank You !
We love the game "To the Moon" 🌙 *v*
Then you might enjoy the print pattern I prepared. :)
謝謝，美麗的兔子
At about 15 minutes, I thought: "This bunny better be beautifull. Or I will kill it. "
So. In total I spend an hour and a half on this bunny. I kept on rewinding the video, beause I did not see how I had to fold it. I was really annoyed and at the end, half of the paper was ripped. Because I folded it too much. (I kept making mistakes because I did not understand how it should be done.)
At the end ... My "bunny" looks like a ... half dead squirrel or a platypus. And I really want to burn it.
Thank you for wasting my time.
I will never fold anything again.
The design was cute, though.
Don't give up. If this bunny is a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before.
I've done it in first attempt. It's taken me about 1h. I'm really beginner because I'm playing 3rd day with origami. Good job!
Great video! 👌
Thanks. :)
I made a mouse
Close enough. :)
Bi Ao Omg same.
Or mine looks like a half dead squirrel or something. 😂
i would like to send you a picture of my origami rabbit but how do i send It to you
You can send pictures to sara@happyfolding.com - I always love seeing your folds!
gabriella schumann Hi mom😊😄
Mine ended up a bit deformed...and quite wrinkly, he also needs help standing up. But I still love him with all my heart
you make it look so easy!
Practice makes perfect. The more you fold, the more intuitively you can manipulate the paper to do what you want it to. :)
hey Sara! I'm looking to start designing origamis! where would you recommend I begin?
Ha, I'm not a designer myself, so I can't give you much advice. But I hear one good way to start is just doodling with paper (trying out different things) to see whether you come up with something. You can also fold models several times to better understand how they are built. Unfolding also helps with that.
If you want to take a more mathematical approach, Origami Design Secrets by Robert Lang is an excellent resource: www.happyfolding.com/book-lang-origami_design_secrets_2nd_edition
Hope this helps you with getting started!
happyfolding.com - enjoy origami online love Robert Lang! I had no idea he was so involved in the scientific community until very recently!
Robert Lang's book, Origami Design Secrets, is an excellent bible for understanding origami design. It may be slow to read, but if you try his exercises, you will learn a lot, even if you can't fully understand everything the first time.
Thank you!
stephen scott 1 year later.... still no progresss
Amazing vid
Glad you like the video! :)
i find it really distracting how you fast forward it all the time. But its a nice modell.
l'd recommend you to watch Jo Nakashima's tutorials and opy some of the stuff he does in them.
Thanks for the recommendation. I know Jo's fantastic work. We started around the same time with making origami tutorials. Obviously, we have a different presentation style and I believe they both have appeal. Still, there's always more to learn for me and to improve on, also with regards to my tutorials.
I almost gave up in the middle. But finally I did in the first run. But the rabbit can not stand on its foot. Cuz too the foot are too small
At 6:54 I quit cause I couldn’t make “this and that” fold and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out where I went wrong. Already stressed from the quarantine too
Yes, it's a more advanced model. If it's a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before.
Rabbit origami elegant.
im using 14 x 14 cm origami paper so all of the sections with tiny parts and folds I'm just dying inside
Perhaps fold the model from larger paper first. Once you've folded one successfully, you can try using smaller paper again.
