A 3D origami sea lion that feels alive
Displayed on a shelf or desk, this 3D papercraft sea lion instantly catches the eye. Its expressive muzzle, well-defined volumes, and natural posture create the illusion of a small sculpture straight from the seashore. You assemble it patiently, piece by piece, until this familiar silhouette emerges, evoking salty air and wave-worn rocks.
This model appeals equally to craft enthusiasts and marine animal lovers. It naturally pairs with other creations from the sea animal origami collection, helping you build a cohesive, characterful display.
Two sizes, two building experiences
The model is available in two distinct heights, each offering a different assembly experience. The 30 cm version measures approximately 300 mm high, with a 123 mm width and 135 mm depth. More compact, it fits easily into smaller spaces.
The larger 40 cm version highlights the sea lion’s volumes even more and features slightly bigger pieces, often considered more comfortable to handle. Depending on the size and print format chosen, the templates include between 3 and 7 pages, with a constant total of 41 pieces.
An accessible build with a refined finish
Rated at a medium difficulty level, this papercraft remains very approachable. A few small parts require precision, especially around the muzzle, but nothing challenging with a bit of patience and focus. The enjoyment comes as much from the build as from the finished result.
The model is designed to be made in a single paper color—choose a realistic gray, a clean white, or a more daring shade. Once completed, your sea lion becomes a truly original decorative piece, full of personality.
