A heartwarming 3D origami duo: the hen and her chick
On a shelf, a desk, or at the heart of a spring-inspired display, the scene comes to life. The hen watches over, the chick explores. Made of paper, yet with a real sense of presence. This 3D origami model plays with polygonal volumes to create an expressive duo that feels both graphic and warm.
Each piece comes together gradually, almost like a small ritual. You fold, adjust, glue… and suddenly, the shapes come alive. A creative project that is just as enjoyable to build as it is to display.
Technical details of the hen and chick model
The set includes two separate sculptures, designed to be made together or individually:
- The hen: 24 cm high, 15 cm wide, 35 cm deep. The template consists of 8 pages for a total of 26 pieces.
- The chick: 12 cm high, 9 cm wide, 16 cm deep. The template includes 2 pages and 10 pieces.
Color play and final finish
The model is designed for a lively, high-contrast result. The chick combines shades of yellow, white, and red spread across its 2 pages, while the hen uses multiple colors to enhance volumes and details across its 8 pages. This careful color work emphasizes depth and gives the whole scene its distinctive character.
A decorative creation to display, gift, or collect
This duo naturally fits into an Easter decoration, a child’s bedroom, or any interior that appreciates graphic objects. It also integrates perfectly into a broader collection of paper animals to assemble. To extend the experience, explore other models in the paper origami birds collection.
An accessible, rewarding, and visually striking project that turns a few sheets of paper into a lively decorative scene.
