FAQs about origami

Where do I begin with origami and how can I find easy models?

Try browsing the board for guides, or other online resources listed below, for models you like and practice folding them.

A great way to begin at origami is to participate in the Let’s Fold Together threads >>>/po/lft - open up the PDF file and find a model you like, work on it, and discuss or post results.

Thank you from the future, for a nice Bactrian camel gram. I love my Kawahata one in Duo Thai and I'm excited to try another style

I have no single diagrams anymore; for the past several years I've gotten a lot of material out of the defunct Mega once shared here, but most of that's gone. I hope I don't offend anyone by sharing a scan of a book. It's a common one that I've owned a while and I've also bought for others.

Hey /po/, I'm looking for good youtube channel recs to follow. I specially remember someone on here sharing their own channel and I found it kinda neat but couldn't find it ever again (it was something to do with their own personal collection of paper toys / scans). Post good youtube channels centered on papercrafts, origami, paper toys, dioramas etc and try to avoid any of that stupid kiddie shit please.

I don't see any box designing thread here.
So picrel is what I think the well protected design to safely deliver fragile items, but this design is only good for small bottles but not for big items, such as for an item that's 2/3 size of a coffee table. I tried using the same material (cardbox) but the strength of the box couldn't support it. How would you improve this design so that I could still use the cheap card board stocks while at the same time it's able to retain shocks from being tossed around?

>does crafts help you at getting a gf?
yeah if you're scouting kindergartens or women with autism maybe
sports or some niche stuff that she will be interested in would work better
it mostly boils down to your bank account and height to be honest, after that the last dealbreaker outside of your control is your dick size
apart from that just be self confident to the point of looking like a narcissist high on cocaine who just won the lottery and had sex with his dream girl 24/7
>>
>>622367
literally this, and parents who don't force their kids to do regular sports too should be jailed or even killed. Origami and other nerdy stuff like it can help you get a girl but only IF you ALSO fit and "sportsey", and even without the girl shit you are just better as a human if you are fit, and specifically you are better at nerdy stuff too if you are fit, a fit body and good brains are a good combo, there is no downside
>>
>>566458
I guess, if you can do it really well, then it's possible.
