LM- HANDICRAFTS Grade 10

Learning Outcome 3
SELECT MATERIALS FOR MAKING ORIGAMI
Objectives

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

1. Identify materials suited for making Origami

TOOLS AND MATERIALS USED IN MAKING ORIGAMI

There are simple tools used in Origami since most of the technique is folding except for some complicated design.
There are different kinds of paper used in Origami but a sturdy paper will just do. We can use colored paper of the
magazines and catalogue and paper we want to recycle.

Material

1. Paper is the main material in making origami, it can used

paper or colored paper. It is depend on your design.

Tools

2. Knives - are to slash paper on the desired size.

3. Scissors – are used for cutting paper on the desired design

and size

FOLLOW METHODS AND PROCEDURES IN MAKING ORIGAMI

Objectives

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

1. discuss the different methods, techniques and procedures in making Origami projects/products
2. follow procedures and techniques in making Origami projects/products
3. demonstrate methods/procedure in in making Origami projects/products

PROCEDURES IN MAKING ORIGAMI

Steps in Folding the Paper

1. Check that the paper you are folding is exactly a square.
2. Do not fold against a soft surface, such as a carpet, your lap or bedsheets. Fold against a
hard surface ,such as a large hardback book or a table.
3. Crease slowly, firmly, and accurately. Form the early creases with particular care – if they
are incorrect place, all the later, smaller creases will be difficult to place accurately and will
look messy.
4. Read the instruction and follow the symbol on each step. Many mistakes are made by
ignoring written instructions or by not following all the written instructions on a step,
particularly during complex maneuvers.
5. The instruction and symbols on one step will create a shape which looks like the next step
but stripped of its symbols. So, you must always look ahead to the next step to see what
shape you are trying to make. Never look at steps in isolation, but see them as being
interconnected, like links in a chain.

Symbols and Diagram

This shows the white and coloured side, like standard
origami paper. You will see a symbol which shows whether
you should start with the coloured side up or the white

side up

___________ Thick lines show either raw edges or edges resulting from fold.

______________ Thin grey lines show crease lines which are the result of prior
folds.
Dotted lines show that are hidden behind layers of paper.

Dash lines shows that the fold is supposed to be valley fold.

--------------------------

Dash and dotted line shows that the fold is supposed to be a

....._______........ mountain fold. Sometimes you will find this line with a single dot.

Fold the paper where shown is usually a valley fold but uses for
other fold as well.

Fold behind, i.e. make a mountain fold.

Fold and unfold, creating a crease line.

Fold behind (mountain Fold) and unfold, creating a mountain

crease line.

Unfold a part of the model in the shown direction.

Fold and unfold, i.e first fold in the direction of the normal arrow,
and then fold back in the direction of the hollow arrow.

Hamburger fold is a rectangular sheet of paper in half along the

long side.

Valley fold is a rectangular fold that has sides that rise up from
the center fold.

Hot dog fold is a rectangular sheet of paper in half along the

short side.

Shutter fold is the fold that find the midpoint on a piece of paper,
folded each side to meet that point.

Mountain fold has a side that slope down from the center fold.

Taco fold is to fold the corner of a sheet of paper over to create a

triangle. Trim any excess.

Burito fold must roll the page up without creating a crease in the
paper.
