Opps! Just realised they DO have video tutorials if you'd prefer that but the site is photo tutorial forward.

Apologies.

Enjoy either way !

I once won $100 playing poker with an origami master.

He always folded.

Has anyone ever used an origami waterbomb as a waterbomb? It’s a deep mystery.

Yes. When my kid was a toddler, at Xmas time I made a bunch of colorful water bombs and popped them over some Christmas lights that I then hung around our living room. My kid did not care for them, and found a yardstick that she proceeded to use to try to knock them down. Accepting defeat, I took them outside (this was Texas where December is still often 80 degrees) and we filled them with water and chucked them at a tree to see them splat. Good times!

Bless you for the no AI or video forward citation. I love origami but hate videos. I don't processing video information as well.

Very nifty. Forwarded to a couple of grandchildren that love making things. My talents don’t run in the direction of origami, unfortunately, but it looks like a great site. Thanks.

Origami is so much fun. I started it as a child and it's still a go-to as an adult.

I'm a big modular origami fan, but that just appeals to my ADHD. There are so many other simple ones that just feel like magic tricks! I love teaching people the lily because it's simple and a fun one. The star box is also easy but so cute.

It's on a different site, but this origami frog just always used to impress everyone. He's a fun one. Anyone can fold a crane (and yeah, I admit at a point I forgot how to do it) but if you can fold this frog, people think you are magic.

That's actually what I've loved about knowing simple origami models. I will make something fun if you leave me alone with your paper. I'm also happy to teach you how to do it.

This is great! I made myself a chicken to live on my bookshelf.
