Origami
One sheet folds many ways.
Origami is paper folding from a single uncut sheet. Most traditional models start with a square. The folds follow specific sequences, sometimes hundreds of steps for the intricate models.
It's portable. A pack of origami paper fits in a pocket. You can fold on a plane, in a waiting room, or on the couch.
Mistakes are usually recoverable. Reverse a fold, smooth the paper, try again. Following diagrams takes practice. Once you've folded a model a few times, you can do it from memory.
You’ll love origami if…
- you want something you can do on a plane
- your supply cost stops at one pack of paper
- you find folding the same model again and again calming
