The Brachiosaurus is one of the most iconic dinosaurs of the Jurassic period. It is super big and has long legs. This paper origami dinosaur has super long legs and a tail.

I love this shape with its long neck and long tails, which look so natural, like those of a Brachiosaurus dinosaur. Though it is a simple version, the dinosaur is a 3D version so you can use it as an element of Boby Mobile. Wow, how about making a batch of dinosaurs?
In addition, there is an advanced-level origami dinosaur. Go ahead and try that version once you mastered this easy version.

Step 2
Fold the left and right edges to the center to meet the crease you just made.

Step 3
Similarly, fold the left and right edges to the center.

Step 4
Unfold the paper completely.

Step 5
Fold the right edge to the left along the crease shown by the dotted line.

Step 6
Then fold it back to the right along the crease shown by the dotted line.

Step 7
Fold it to the left again to meet the middle crease.

Step 8
Now fold the left edge to the right along the crease shown by the dotted line.

Step 9
Then fold it back to the left along the black dotted line.

Step 10
Finally, fold it to the right again to meet the middle crease.

Step 11
Take the bottom edge of the top right triangle, and fold it to the left along the black dotted line to meet the middle line, crease it well then unfold.
Repeat this for the left side.

Step 12
Fold the bottom point up along the black dotted line, crease it well then unfold.

Step 13
Slightly open the corner from the bottom along the crease you just made, push the right corner to the center, forming a small standing triangle, and finally fold the triangle up and flatten it.

Step 14
Repeat this for the left side.

Step 15
Fold both top corners of these two top triangles down along the black dotted line.

Step 16
Fold the bottom left and right edges to the center to meet the middle crease, crease it well then unfold.

Step 17
Fold the bottom point up along the black dotted line, crease well then unfold.

Step 18
Open the right corner, squash it from right to left along the crease you just made, getting a standing small triangle, finally fold this triangle up and flatten it.

Step 19
Repeat this for the left corner.

Step 20
Use the same manner as in step 15, fold these two triangles along the dotted line.

Step 21
Fold it in half backward.

Step 22
Rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.

Step 23
Fold the right part up from the front, crease well then unfold.

Step 24
Open the paper from the top, push the middle crease of the right part upwards, then close and flatten the paper along the crease you just made in the previous step. Now you get the dinosaur’s neck.
