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.

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.

Seriously: like what can go wrong when making a papercraft mask?? It's not like the moon will fall from the sky...

Didn't know there were any. That sounds like it would defeat the purpose of a mask...you know...because God is fake.

Suggestions for simple small paper (2x2) models that aren't any more difficult than cranes? My fingers are not so nimble at that size.

Also fuck tuttle's off-square stuff. Can anyone suggest good paper brands? I've had some luck with Kyowa and Toyo, but kissangel was more plastic than foil.

Welcome, this is a SHARING thread, where you request and share single diagrams (preferably). And I would like to encourage sharing this mockingbird.

>How do you laminate the stickers and keep them sticky on the back, is there one sided laminate?
basically what u said, one sided sheets in picrel i put on over the stickers once they're printed. the weather still tends to wear them out but it lasts longer than otherwise, ill post a pic of one thats been up a couple years next

This was my first thing made out of paper. I'll probably tear it up in a few minutes, but it was still the first.

I've looked everywhere and can't find anything the artist is called Ingrid Siliakus she does some cool stuff but wondering if she had any templates or does she keep this stuff secret?

Ey /po/, one of the new Pokemon from Pokemon Sun and Moon version is Kartana. It looks like this. Can you make it in real life with origami, and if so, how?

Glad to see the Kartana thread lived through another major 4chan incident.

>>624508
The face flaps are not folded in and the hand pattern is cutout and not folded. Not accurate.

>>624509
Better but the hand pattern seems printed, rather than folded. Could be wrong.

>>624651
Lets make a G-Max version of Kartana

When this thread was created I was 18 kinda glad it’s still around as I wanna get into Origami
