Instructions
Step 1
Remember the basic principle of origami - to collect without glue. The use of scissors is also minimal. Most origami models are assembled from a square sheet of paper. It is best to use paper that is not very thick, as it is quite difficult to fold along the line, but also not very thin, otherwise your model will be very short-lived.
Step 2
Get an origami book from a bookstore. When choosing a book, pay attention to the presence of high-quality illustrations. They will help you master the art of origami faster. Check out the history of origami art. This will be very helpful in increasing your horizons. You can not only assemble a figurine, but amaze your acquaintances with erudition.
Step 3
Examine the base folds. Basic folds are the simplest shapes from which more complex ones are created. By learning how to collect basic folds, you can collect more complex and cunning shapes. Do not tackle the assembly of a complex shape if you are a beginner. Learn everything progressively - from simple to complex, so you will quickly learn how to correctly assemble origami. The first experience is likely to be unsuccessful. But don't be discouraged. Try to exercise as much as possible. If you cannot assemble a figurine without unnecessary paper jams, then try to assemble it from thinner paper. Thin paper bends better, but holds less well.
Step 4
After you have mastered the basic folds, try to assemble a more complex model. Take all the steps gradually. Over time, you will be able to assemble the figurine in 2-3 minutes. Remember that not all folds need to be folded to an acute angle. In some models, it is enough just to slightly press down. When assembling from a book, try to memorize the sequence of the process, so that later you can assemble without the help of a book. Origami will not only give you beautiful figurines that you can use to decorate the interior or amuse friends, this art helps to develop hand motor skills.
