Origami for beginners

Origami can be simply defined as an art in which paper (usually square is form) is folded to look like varied recognizable objects. Scissors or glue and or Ribbon are used in origami. Origami is all about following basic instructions, be specific in bending and drawing permanently on your finger along the folds to make them crisp and your final product look well finished.

There are a few basic symbols, universally recognized origami as the guide for its folds. These symbols are generally the same in all the books of origami diagrams and literature. Become familiar with these symbols and basic folds having to manage with large easy origami and understand fully and effectively, follow any guide of choice ones.

Here are some basic and important symbols:
o A dashed line indicates a Valley fold. It can be formed by folding paper to itself
o alternating dashed and dotted indicates a fold of the mountain, which is formed by the folding of paper away from himself.
o A solid line represents the fold.
o an arrow line must to withdraw in the direction of the arrow that appears in a curved manner.
o a double arrow line can be formed by folding along the fold and unfold.

Petal Fold: The petal fold raises a point, and it leads to the top so that the two sides of the paper are located together. It is preferable to pre-fold the two layers of paper and folds of the Valley and the mountain before making the petal fold.

Rabbit ear Fold: Pre-fold along the folds three first Valley. Then fold both sides up to the base line. Fold the high point on the side to make folding mountain. (Take care that you fold the high point to the right where the mountain fold is defined.)

Squash Fold: Pre-fold the two sheets of paper along the Valley fold and the mountain. Open the document. Fold a layer of paper along the Valley fold and flatten model by using the fold of the mountain.

Reverse (indoors) Fold: Pre-fold the two sheets of paper in two directions (mountain and Valley). Then open the template a bit and bring down the top point so that the edge of mountain fold becomes a Valley fold advantage.

Reverse (outdoors) Fold: A crimp is used as a way to integrate two reverse folds to change the direction of a flap or point. In most cases, it is easier, just make two folds inverse one after another (pre-crease all two before folding).

Sink Fold: The sink fold is a method of blunting a point has no edges open. The fold must be pre-creased. Then carefully open the model and tuck the point inside. Then flatten the model along the existing folds.
