congratulate you for

ORIGAMI: The Step-by-Step
Ultimate Beginner's Guide to
Mastering 15 Origami Models
in 1 Day - Your Ideal
Companion To Master
Origami In A Day”.
I hate to overwhelm you with
a lengthy introduction. Get
ready to take the plunge and
experience the world of
origami art!
Origami – Bow
Paper size used - 6 x 6 inch (15 cm)
origami paper.
Use 3 x 3in (7.5cm) for cute little
bows!
Scissor

Procedure:
1. Prepare your square sheet of paper.
And your scissor on the side.
2. Fold horizontally and vertically,
creating a cross crease.
3. Flip over. And fold diagonally.
4. Unfold, and fold the other side
diagonally.
Now, you can see visible creases as
shown below:
5. Rotate paper and position it this way.
Take the left and right corners, and
following the creases fold them
accordingly.
As a result, you are going to have
something like the one below:
6. Fold the top. This fold becomes the
center of your bow. The bigger your
fold, the bigger the square in the
center of the bow.
7. Unfold.
8. Following the square-shape crease in
the center, fold the four sides.
9. Following the creases we’ve created
fold the creases on the left and right
inward. You’ll have something like
the one below:
10. Take the first upper flap and fold
towards the center line. And then do
the other side.
11. Flip-over and do the same as Step
#10
12. Slowly unfold model. On your left is
the back of the bow. On the right is
the front of the bow.
13. Take the back of the bow. And
noticed the folds we have created.
Find the center of the creases and cut
it. Cut ALL 4 center creases.
You’ll have something like the one
below:
14. Take the right flap, and fold to the
left. And then rotate it similar to the
one below.
15. Take the right flap, and fold both
corners toward the center.
16. Take the left flap, and fold both
corners toward the center. By now,
you should something like this:
17. Grab the two layers of tails, and cut
through the center crease.
18. Rotate model and position it this way,
and fold together the layers.
.
19. Do the other side.
20. From where we cut the center crease
of the tails, fold the flaps again. And
then do the other side.
21. Flip over. Slowly bend the sides
inward, and insert pointed end to the
little hole in the center. You might
need to stick/glue this process (or
you may not if you prefer).
22. Cut the tails.
Origami – Flapping Bird
Paper: 15cm x 15 cm

Procedure:
1. Take a square sheet of
paper. Rotate to make a
diamond shape.
2. Fold in half downward to
make a crease. Unfold.
3. Fold the paper in half
sideways.
4. Hold the left corner and
then fold to the right. Flip
over to make sure you
follow the center line.
Following the center line
allows easy folding.
5. Take the upper layer and
fold to the left, creasing
along the center line.
6. Fold it in half, downward.
7. This will serve as the
head/beak. And this one
will be your tail.
8. And this will be your wings.
9. Take the upper layer flap,
fold upward with an angle.
10. Turn it around, and do the
same with the other flap.
11. To have depth in the wings,
open triangular pocket near
the head, and then fold to
make a crease.
12. Do the other part of the
wing. Now your wings are
perfect.
13. Take the beak/head part,
fold the corner inward, and
adjust to your liking.
14. Now, let’s proceed to the
tail section. Smoothen it out
by folding this section here.
Bring it to fold together.
15. Separate the layers.
16. Follow the creases, and then
fold inwards. This will make
the wings a narrower.
17. Bring them together and
that’s your finished bird!
18. To make the wings to flap,
just hold the head and tail
section and give them a little
pull.
And that’s your flapping little
bird!
Origami – Dress
Paper: 15cm x 15 cm

Procedure:
1. We start by preparing our
15cm x 15 cm paper and
selecting any color of your
choice. Fold it horizontally
making a fine crease.
2. Unfold and do the other side
as well. This will make a
plus sign crease as shown in
the image.
3. Take the left and right edges
and fold it towards the
center.
4. Unfold them, and flip the
paper over. Now, you can
see two mountain folds
(because it looks like a
mountain).
5. What we are going to do is
take one mountain fold and
fold it towards the middle
line. The best way to do
that is to take the peak of
the mountain and slide it
over to the center, making
pleats.
6. Do the other side.
7. This is how it looks like:
8. Flip it over. You can see the
crease we have created.
Fold down along that line.
9. And fold that back up again,
about 1 cm high.
So, this will be the top of the
dress.
And this is the bottom-part of
the dress. This makes the front
of the dress.
10. Take the bottom-left corner
of the dress, and rotate it
towards the outside of the
dress and fold the edges.
11. Do the other side.
12. Flip it over. You can now
see two flaps. Fold it
towards the center line,
making a small triangle. Do
the other side.
13. Unfold them. Open it up,
take the edges and bring it
to the center.
14. We now have a diamond.
Take the left-top of the
diamond and fold it towards
its center.
15. Do the other side.
Now we have to fold the two
outside edges of the dress
towards the center.
16. When you fold the top, the
bottom-part will always
come over. So, rotate it
down, find the corner of the
dress and fold it.
17. And then do the other side.
18. And the last step, is to make
the sleeve. Take the top-left,
fold it out, and adjust to
your liking. Do the other
side.
19.

Flip it over, and here’s your


origami dress.
Origami – Box

the previous creases.
5.

Fold the inner edges away


from each other along the
previous creases.

from each other, lifting the
top and the bottom edge.
Expand the box, making
four creases to shape its
base.
And your multi-box is

4. Fold in half along the other
diagonal and unfold. By the
now you should have the
following creases:
5. Turn the paper over.
6. Take the left and right
edges. Following the
creases we’ve created, push
inward so the creases may
fold. You will have a
triangle shape as a result.
This is how it should look like
when viewing your folds.
7. Take the upper layers of the
side corners and fold them
so that they meet towards
