Origami is the art of folding paper.
The word Origami comes from Japan
It literally translates as ori (folding) gami (paper).
The origins of Origami are not known, but it seems that as soon as paper was available, people will have fold it.
What is certain is that the earliest forms of origami came from the East.
Origami consists in transforming a flat piece of paper into a three dimensional model.
To be successful the instructions must be
carried out with neatness and accuracy.
It needs patience and
repetition.
Origami folding needs to be controlled and accurate.
Every crease is important, especially the first.
Take your time with every fold, lining it up carefully before flattening the crease.
Origami paper comes in a variety of colours, sizes and textures
Traditional origami paper is thin, strong and holds a
crease well.
It is usually coloured or patterned on one side and
plain on the other.
Each project is illustrated with step-by-step diagrams.There are various types of arrow symbols to show what to do.The different types of crease are illustrated by different line weights.
You make them both whenever you make a crease
At the heart of origami there are two folds: mountain fold and valley fold.
Origami is easier to do than you imagine. The first time you fold a model think of it as
practice. Ussually your second and third attempts will come out much better.
Make sure you have clean hands and a clean table before starting.
It is good to work on a clean, flat surface. When following a diagram, always look ahead to
the next drawing; it will help to you to understand the folds.
