Traditional cicada
The video is hosted on YouTube: it only loads when you press Play.
This little cicada is a traditional model that is really realistic! And on top of that, it is easy to make. It is folded from a small square and has only one minor difficulty: several of its folds have no precise reference points. As with all models of this kind, the final shape may vary slightly from one time to the next. It is up to you to adjust the folds as you like to get the result you prefer.
