Mind-Blowing Dinosaur Skeletons Folded Out of Paper



This post was originally made back on April 7, 2016. Since then I’ve found a ton of other amazing dinosaur


skeleton models. It’s not quite enough for a new post so I’ve gone
back to this one and added in another bunch of incredible photos.

The original post is below with the new models mixed in so enjoy!
I’ve been wanting to make a post about origami dinosaur skeletons
for a while because these models are absolutely amazing.

Almost all of these models except for one which I’ll mention later are
folded from multiple sheets of paper but that doesn’t make them any less amazing.

We’ll start off with some Tyrannosaurus Rex models because you can’t make a post about dinosaurs without T-Rexs.
With this model Mariano Zavala B. took Issei Yoshino’s T-Rex design
and modified it to make it look much more ferocious and awesome.



Mariano Zavala B. photoshopped his T-Rex skeleton into the Jurassic World.

Here’s Issei Yoshino’s T-Rex again but this time it’s not modified
and folded by Matthieu Georger.

Here’s an excellent photo of the original T-Rex model folded

Here’s the T-Rex model again folded by Gonzalo but modified slightly to have more teeth.

I really like the contrast here between the blue paper and the yellow background.

Here’s the T-Rex skeleton one more time. It’s always neat
to see how different artists.

Issei Yoshino also designed this amazing Triceratops skeleton! I really
like that hook on the beak/mouth,

Next we have a photo of an excellent looking origami Stegosaurus taken at an origami exhibit.

This Stegosaurus design is somehow based on Fumiaki Kawahata’s Brachiosaurus design.

Next we have a Brachiosaurus design by Fumiaki Kawahata which like the T-Rex design.

Diagrams available in Origami Dinosaurs 2

Here’s a much smaller Brachiosaurus which couldn’t have been easy to fold

I really like the pose of this next Brachiosaurus.
It almost looks playful like a baby dinosaur or something.

I also really love the pose of this next one with the raised foot and head looking back.

I can’t believe how tiny this next Pterosaur is. Keep in mind that this is
a modular model.

Yoshihide Momotani designed an excellent Apatosaurus skeleton, here it is expertly folded by Tran Trung Hieu.

This next model designed by Nguyen Minh Duc is one of my favourites.

This 2D dinosaur skull is also folded from a single square of paper. It would make a perfect logo.

A post on origami dinosaurs definitely needs some velociraptors
and here are two excellent velociraptor skeleton designs.
