Origami Intro
Origami, the art of paper folding, transforms a simple sheet into elaborate shapes. Start with crisp,
square paper - special origami paper works best, but any lightweight paper will do. Familiarize
yourself with basic folds: the valley fold, mountain fold, and squash fold. These are the building
blocks for more intricate models.
Begin with simple projects like the classic crane or paper boat. Follow step-by-step diagrams
carefully, taking your time to make precise creases. Accuracy in folding ensures your models hold
together and look professional. Keep edges and corners aligned for clean finishes.
As you advance, explore complex designs that involve multiple layers and detailed shaping. Join
online communities or pick up instructional books to learn advanced techniques such as wet-folding
or modular origami. Practice regularly, and soon you'll master the serene, creative process of paper
folding.
