Hints and tips?

For folding, The best advice is to always fold as cleanly as possible, and take your time. Everything else comes with experience.

https://origamiusa.org/glossary

What are ‘CPs’?

Crease patterns are a structural representations of origami models, shown as a schematic of lines; they are essentially origami models unfolded and laid flat. Lines on a crease pattern may be indicated by ‘mountain’ or ‘valley’ folds to show how the folds alternate. If you’re particularly skilled at origami, they become useful instructions for building models. A common base fold is usually discernable, all the intermediate details can be worked on from there.

My first time posting here. I don’t even know anything about origami but got a cousin the hospital and have time to kill. Also works like to teach her some stuff. Any good simple and funny stuff that I could make but also teach her how to make? Stuff that looks cool but really simple. Also cute.

Thanks in advance!

I was looking for for my copy of ChronoTrigger in the basement when I came across this box from when I was 15/17. These are some of the letters and notes girls used to send me. Most of them are folded normally. However some of them range from unusual to insane. The origami folded ones I literally haven't opened in 15+ years because I don't wanna fuck up the folds trying to get them back the same way. Is this a thing or was I just living in a different timeline?

Use YouTube and look for paper mache Halloween and mardi gras mask tutorial. You can use glue instead of plaster but the idea is the same

Big if true.

RE-POST REQUEST.
It's been pretty dead lately, not even requests, so I don't know if any one will read this. Can some one please re-post "Origami Pro 7" and "Origami Tanteidan Convention 29". They've been shared everywhere else already, so why not in 4chan?

If it's 30mb file it would be perfectly fine. Unfortunately, it's 11mb overcompressed version. Crease lines are hardly visible. I don't understand why people upload stuff like that.
>>
>>629443
Understandable. How about reposting Origami Tanteidan Magazine 216, the one with the wicked basset hound? Or Origami Masterpieces by Astroña?

other anon here, not native english speaking
used with my ink printer white cardboard/paper stuff used to paint with paints for children
gramature from top of head 230g
anyway just test what printer is able to bend and get through own insides printing
I think painting it with white glue or cyanoacryle might make it even more tough, tho I doubt is economical; seen guy modeled roundish stuff covering tires for armored car from cyanoacryle
