Traditional model (Japan)

Peacock

New version (2015)

The video is hosted on YouTube: it only loads when you press Play.

Here is a stylised but perfectly recognisable peacock. It is not difficult to make. Be careful to start the model with the coloured side of the paper facing up, as in the video, if you want the colour (or pattern) to show on the bird's tail! What's more, in this tutorial we show you 2 variations that use the same base: the first with the peacock's tail closed, and the second with the peacock fanning out its tail.
