• just starting out looking at diagrams and tutorials however when folding the triangles, when we fold the corner flaps in there are many differnet ways so dont know what one to follow

    • it really doesent matter which one you follow as long as you get the triangle folded when you make your 3DO model it wont look different at all.. hope this helped

    • Thanks, well im planning to make a bear, and im also doing the puff or jaxster fold – and just to start with i need 750 blue how on earth can u speed up time in one day i made 159 while watching tv olympics and anything else but there must be a faster way

      • It takes time, with practice you’ll get the hang of folding the triangles. Origami is not something you can just “speed up”, it takes time and patience 🙂
        If this is your first time making something, I’d advise on starting with something simple like a swan, but it’s up to you, so good luck with it (Y)

      • like skong said it takes times and a lot of patience but eventually you’ll be folding the triangles and not even have to look at your hands 😀 I can do that now and I’ve been doing origami for almost two years!! I have also tried the jaxster fold… and its a very unique way to fold the paper.. i like it because it give your finished origami a…[Read more]

    • well i started off with a fox which more looked like an owl and ive done a panda, so now im taking on a larger one for a friend and in the past few days i have became faster and sometimes im able to fold the triangle perfectly symetrical. I have also made a system where i continuessly fold triangle and put them in rings to open the bottoms…[Read more]

    • it looks good but maybe if you would have used a red are a orange they would have not have thought it was a owl.. i like it cause i’m new to origami to i will post my work tonight…..

  • This was my very first one, it is a fox but to others its an Owl for being a first attempt im pretty happy but i couldnt get the body and head to buldge out more as it would just fall apart. !

    • it looks nice for your first try.. mine was not that great -_- …. but you should try using glue to control the model you are working and plus if your work falls it wont come apart.. i had to learn that the hard way 🙁

    • taht’s very good for a first try!

    • Good job, it is a good first attempt 🙂 Caco is right in using glue, it helps keep your work together and sturdier. But the more you make, the better you’ll get at this, so keep up the good work (Y)

    Well thinking about it if you make the body and head like it was a teddy bear, but then lay it down on top of 4 bear legs and do a tiger nose for the face thats the only thing i can think of

  • well, im getting the hang of this now, just added my first photo and ive already had comments helping me with technique, planning to make two big bears for friends so i need one done for next week and the 2nd for 2 weeks, about 1800 pc for all of it, but it can be done while watching olympics and films

  • How can you fold so fast im just getting into it and still the judging of the centre always puts me off because sometimes the folds just fall out
