Origami Tutorials

Step by step origami and papercraft tutorials.

Origami is the craft of folding paper. It’s a great thing to try as you don’t need any expensive materials or special equipment. Here you’ll find a few simple, step by step instructions to fold your own origami models – including pictures to follow along.

All you need is a square of paper (thinner is often better) and something to crease the folds with. I use a special tool for creasing, but you can just use the back of your thumbnail.

My two rules: fold neatly, crease firmly. Happy paper folding!
