Einführung
Origami has been popular in Japan for hundreds of years and is now loved all around the world. You can make great models with just one sheet of paper and this book shows you how!
The paper used in origami is thin but strong, so that it can be folded many times. It is usually coloured on one side. Alternatively, you can use ordinary scrap paper but make sure it’s not too thick.
Origami models often share the same folds and basic designs, known as ‘bases’.This introduction explains some of the folds and bases that you will need for the projects in this book. When making the models, follow the key below to find out what the lines and arrows mean. Always crease your paper well!
KEY
valley fold
mountain fold
step fold (mountain and valley fold next to each other)
direction to move paper
direction to push or pull
MOUNTAIN FOLD
To make a mountain fold, fold the paper so that the crease is pointing up towards you, like a mountain.
VALLEY FOLD
To make a valley fold, fold the paper the other way, so that the crease is pointing away from you, like a valley.
INSIDE REVERSE FOLD
An inside reverse fold is useful if you want to flatten the shape of part of your model.
1 Practise by first folding a piece of paper diagonally in half. Make a valley fold on one point and crease.
2 It’s important to make sure that the paper is creased well. Run your finger over the crease two or three times.
3 Unfold and open up the corner slightly. Refold the crease nearest to you into a mountain fold.
4 Open up the paper a little more and then tuck the tip of the point inside. Close the paper. This is the view from the underside of the paper.
5 Flatten the paper. You now have an inside reverse fold.
KITE BASE
1 Start with the point turned towards you. Valley fold it in half diagonally and then unfold.
2 Valley fold the left Section to meet the centre crease.
3 Do the same on the other side.
4 You now have a kite base.
WATERBOMB BASE
1 Start with a square of paper, with the point towards you. Make two diagonal valley folds.
2 The paper should now look like this. Turn it over.
3 Make two valley folds along the horizontal and vertical lines.
4 Push the paper into this shape, so the centre spot pops up.
5 Push in the sides, so that the back and front sections are brought together.
6 Flatten the paper. You now have a waterbomb base.
BLINTZ BASE
1 Start with a square of paper, with the point towards you. Make two diagonal valley folds.
2 The paper should now look like this. Fold the bottom point up to the centre.
3 Repeat step 2 with the three remaining points.
4 You now have a blintz base.
SQUARE BASE
1 Start with the point turned towards you. Valley fold diagonally both ways.
2 The paper should look like this. Now turn it over.
3 Valley fold along the horizontal and vertical lines.
