Enjoyable Instructions For Origami Paper Folding
Japanese paper folding is an ancient tradition that folds paper into 3D shapes. Instructions for Origami can be as simple or as complex as required. Even children can enjoy this unique hobby and will delight in creating boxes, animals, flowers, airplanes and other shapes, while adults can enjoy practicing making more complicated geometric designs and models. With practice and by following the easy instructions, unique gifts and collectibles can be constructed in no time at all.
Many different varieties of paper are available for this hobby, including specialist Washi, and Chiyogami paper which is stronger and tougher than ordinary wood pulp paper. Other varieties include one color, multi-color, metallic, geometric, floral, tie-dye, striped, plain and foil. Even newspaper, cardboard, and bank notes can be used.
Each model has simple base fold which forms the basis of the object. Once mastered and understood then the more intricate designs can be tried. Each base fold is no more complicated than just folding the paper into a series of creases and this can be practiced until it becomes second nature. Once the simple single models have been enjoyed then the modular forms can be attempted.
The more solid pieces are created by assembling together several individual pieces to form one larger model that does not need anything like glue or tape to hold it together.
Flaps are instead used to fasten the paper together using a symmetrical pattern to create a larger, more complex model. One of the first known designs for this kind of Origami was discovered in 1734 and is known as a tamatebako, or magic treasure chest. This cube can be used to hide presents inside and can make a lovely gift.
Banknotes can be used to make quick, fun tips when out at restaurants, and if the centre piece is made the focus of the fold, for example George Washington on the one dollar bill, this can add an unusual appearance to the created item. It can look amazing on a miniature dollar bill t-shirt.
Even ordinary cloth napkins can be folded, for a while at least, and used as a talking point with guests for your dinner table. Birds of paradise, bishops hats and Egyptian pyramids can be very quickly and easily converted from plain straight folded napkins to add decoration and professionalism to your table.
There are so many patterns and types of design to try so that if subscribed to a particular website a new pattern can be sent each day. World records achieved in paper folding include the largest crane with a wingspan of 268 feet long to the smallest cube at 0.3mm.
Origami leads the field by being one of the most easily accessible and fun hobbies in the world. It is an affordable hobby that keeps expanding its allure by being limitless in its ideas and open to everyone due to the wealth of information both in books and online. Instructions for Origami are easy to follow and fun and will provide years of delight.

How do I know if it is 'washi' origami paper?
I have found some 15cm by 15cm origami paper that was my mums. There's quite a few sheets of it in a box (around 50). It's not smooth like normal paper and has lots of different designs on it, which remind me of kimonos. It also has gold or silver patterns on top of the main designs.
I know that 'washi' paper is quite expensive, so I was wondering if anyone knew how I could tell if it was or not?
Washi isn't the same as origami paper. It's made from the bark of a particular tree and sometimes with other fibres such as hemp, and is used for parasols, lamp shades etc.
