Learn How to Fold the most Realistic Origami Creatures and More

The Basic Shape and Equilateral Triangle videos and pictures shows just one square sheet of colored paper each. Press the Basic Shape and Equilateral Triangle video buttons to see how to fold them. You can pause the videos to look at the 1000 words pictures for the final forms!

The Equilateral Triangle picture shows 3 sheets of colored paper for the purpose of showing how to measure the cuts in the one sheet of paper that is only required, here.

That is measuring along the middle crease using the full length of each side until those corners meet with no overlap nor any space in between them. This can be done with just the one sheet too by making creases along both side until they meet at the middle crease. That is not hard to do.

Learning how to fold these shapes is hard enough without playing both or multiple videos here at the same time. And, mastering the obstinate reverse folding herein does in no way suggest forcing any person to conform. This is just about mastering Origami. For the maximum fun and the sharing of whats truly redeemable fruit of your hands. In the striving together for mutual benefit.
