A sea turtle that comes to life, one sheet at a time
Picture it gliding slowly beneath the surface, calm and almost hypnotic. This 3D origami sea turtle captures that suspended moment. As you assemble each piece, the silhouette takes shape, volume emerges, and the magic unfolds. A soothing creative project that helps you unwind while turning simple sheets of paper into a striking decorative presence.
Accessible and rewarding, this model is designed for anyone who enjoys hands-on creativity. Each step flows naturally, with a clear and logical build, and the final result impresses with its generous proportions: 200 mm high, 420 mm wide and 500 mm deep. An ideal piece to enhance a shelf, desk or reading nook with a touch of ocean escape.
A clear, structured and enjoyable model to assemble
The model is made up of 13 sheets containing 41 pieces, designed for progressive assembly without frustration. Folds are clearly identified, connections are intuitive, and the full build takes around 3 to 4 hours at a relaxed pace. Perfect for a solo creative break or a shared moment.
The turtle is designed to be built using a single paper color, giving you full freedom to set the mood: natural tones for a realistic look, or bold colors for a more graphic interpretation. The volume and clean lines do the rest.
