Sea life Entry - Crab Origami using cardboard paper.

Greetings!!!

Hello once again to the people of this amazing community, i hope you enjoyed your weekends and i wish you a fruitful weekday. Today i’m here to participate in our usual monthly community contest. Last month i wasn’t able to participate my reason because i didn’t really understand the theme much. But i’m here now to participate in this months own.

Sea life, what an amazing choice of a theme. There are a lot of animals and creatures in our seas and this would unearthed a lot of creativity i can’t show you what ive got installed. For this month’s contest i will be crafting a crab using cardboard peppers, and a pencil. Ofcourse those are not all the materials you will need. You will also need a blade, scissors, a sizable cup, and a coin.

---

Step 1

---

Pick one of the Orange card board paper it doesn’t necessarily have to be orange i choose this color because it kindda matches the color of a crab. Place the cup on it like the image below

Step 2

---

Using your balde, cut round the base of the cup. Make sure you cut it very well. If you do it right, you should see a circular image on the oragne cardboard like this

Step 3

---

Use your hand to take out the circular shape. And fold it downwards to form a half circle. Like the image below

Step 4

---

Using your coin this time around, place it on the cardboard and cut round it with your balde. Do this four times.

Step 5

---

Use your hands to gentle separate the circles from the cardboard. Do this for all four shapes. Like the image below

Step 6

---

Just like how we folded the first bigger circle, take the circle one after the other and fold them into halves. Like the image below

Step 7

---

Pick the bigger halve cirlce and place it on a white background(it could be another white cardboard). Place it somewhere at the bottom. Like the image below

Step 8

---

Take two pieces of the folded smaller half circles place them opposite each other and put them at the top left and side.

Step 9

---

Take two pieces of the folded smaller half circles place them opposite each other and put them at the top right and side.

Step 10

---

Using your Pencil, draw two eyes in the the center of the setup and connect them by drawing lines from the eyes to the bigger circle and from the smaller ones to the bigger circle. Like the image below

Step 11

---

And Boom! you have successfully crafted a sea crab. I suggest you use a marker pen to make the lines more deeper. Just like i have done below.

I hope you enjoy the process. And i hope to see you try your hands on it. If you have any questions i would love to hear about them in the comment section. See your later. Thank you to the organizers and sponsors of this contest.
