How to Fold Origami
Origami is something that I have done off and on for the past fifteen years. I would make a crane, a water bomb or a Chinese star whenever I am bored out of my mind. Just recently I have started looking around to find other things I could make out of paper. The following are some of the patterns that I have been trying. Click on them to see how to make them yourself:
Unit (Modular) Origami
- Christmas Ornament
- Chinese Star
- The Sonobe Unit (Module)
- The Sonobe Cube
- The Sonobe 8-Point Star (octahedron)
- The Sonobe 20-Point Star (icosahedron)
I have done a little research and I have found that Origami found its roots in Japan as Ceremonial Paper folding. It was not until the 1600s that recreational paper folding became an art and something that people did to entertain themselves. From there various designs grew and became more and more complex.
Today you can find designs for just about anything you could imagine. It is amazing some of the things you can fold out of a piece of paper. I will be adding more and more of my own folding skills to this webpage as I have time. Take a look at some of the designs above.
