Origami Tutorial and Folding Patterns

Origami might or might not be considered a form of paper modeling.
This site has a nice how to section and a collection of folding patterns:

The Origami Page
or
Origami

Both links are for the same web site, one just has fancier formatting.

Thanks John!

I've always liked Origami and make some to give away while travelling. I found an app that gives step-by-step directions to fold a peacock from a dollar bill. I give these out when I go to restarants. Always brings a smile.

Maybe there should be a thread in "Other Things We Do" that has pictures of models that have been folded by forum members? I'd love to see some of their work!

Best Regards,

I actually stumbled across paper modeling while looking up information about Origami! I too do it while traveling (no nasty pointy things the TSA seems to obsess about).

Great resources. Thanks for the original post, John.

Some years ago, Lil gave me a book with instructions for making origami airplanes. If you made the multitude of folds properly you would, if the images of completed models could be trusted, end up with a realistic, if somewhat rumpled looking, Phantom or Su-17 or some other aircraft.

I struggled with one of the models for a long time, after which my daughter-in-law, who is orginally from Taiwan, came into the room to ask what I was doing.

I told her and she asked if she could try.

She made a few additional folds, pulled on either end of the folded conglamoration of paper, and a clearly recognizable F-16 popped into existence.

Amazing! I said. You didn't even look at the instructions!

"Father," she said patiently, picking up her coffee cup and walking from the room, "I'm Asian. I don't need instructions to fold paper."

Don
