Folded Animals

[Leerwerker]

Hi everybody!

I found these two animals made from leather and I know there are more of them around. Does anybody have any patterns for this type of small leather animal?

I know there is an eagle like this and also reindeer ...

I tried searching the forum to no avail.

i have seen a steer in this same pattern as well, just disremember where. . . I'll try to track down a pic. Has anyone checked perhaps adapting orgami-type patterns or kids punch & fold paper books?

I have an old animal pak pattern from years ago. theres like a giraffe n others. dont have it in front of me right now but came across it looking for some other patterns. If ya like a copy I can try to copy it for you. Bronc

i have seen a reindeer in a old pic..but no pattern.....the orgami is a good idea...seem i rem seeing a elephant that was close to that in a kids orgami pack/book it was pre made to look like the elephant with a few simple folds...not sure where i saw that.

here is a link to a semilar ebay orgami that i rem seeing....maybe fold one and cut it and make a pattern...dont know havent folded much leather.

Here's a folded reindeer pattern shared on the FLASaH Yahoo! list. I'm not sure it's the type of pattern you're looking for. . . I haven't made any.

Just a thought... I wonder if origami patterns would work?

Ken, is there an item code or number on that book? I am trying to get hold of a copy ....

Broncobuster--Bonnie lol Im not sure its available anymore. Its an old copy. whats on the back & front cover in the photo is whats in book for patterns. Im a terrible pack rat lol I collected whatever tandy had out for patterns at least most of them lol.

Wow, thanks Bum, it's a great start & with a lot of trial (and error) can probably adapt to other animals. Ha, reindeer just in time for Christmas!

again, thanks for the pattern.
