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!

Can't go wrong with the classic crane either

seconding the crane, also the boat thing is cool if she's not like terminally ill and you can talk about launching it once she get's out of the hospital.

The crane is the OG GOAT S-tier origami, of course, but for those who know the lore, it's kinda morbid to teach that to a girl in hospital.

Btw I’m the OP and I’m still checking in. Thank you for the recommendations. The crane story is beautiful.

This little frog also looks pretty ez and fun:

You might consider getting some colored paper to make things prettier (but not construction paper, too thick).

As I recall (another board tourist here), the key to starting origami is learning to make really sharp creases with your thumbnail. If your creases aren't sharp in the beginning steps, things will fall apart when you try to build on those folds later, which can be frustrating. Sharp creases can also be torn straight, very useful since back in school the first step was usually tearing a strip from letter-sized paper to make an even square.

Hope she gets well soon....

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

Isn’t there a book about this or am I remembering wrong

My sister used to make these all the time and filled one of those glass bottles up with them.

I remember I tried to make one 3 headed origami once, from a book I found here called “Fantastic creatures”. Even though I used a large silk paper, I wasn’t able to finish it. However, I was able to make the horse (which the separate horse rider), from David Brill’s “Brilliant Origami”. I used a triangle piece of a thick A2 paper (as the book recommends). Nowadays—after several years—I’ve done the horse again, but this time made out of a triangle off an A4 printer paper. I finished while I was working, because even though phones are forbidden, they let me use my Kindle, so I just sent the .pdf to it and successfully finished it. Now the girl I’m flirting with has challenged me to make a dragon, please suggest me what model should I try, based on my origami skills :). Thank you for your time and for welcoming me back <3.
>>
Try John Montroll's 3-headed dragon; it is not too hard, especially with a large square of paper (30 cm should be good for a first attempt).
You can find the diagram here (from the LFT thread):

(It's my first post on 4chan, let me know if I do something bad)
Have you heard of a legend about 1000 of paper cranes? People say if you make 1000 of them, your wish can get granted. So, for the sake of my wish I decided to try. I have over 100 cranes, but I rarely have time to make more, so I'm trying. Have a nice night, byeee!

It's pretty much the only thing I can do without reference. I fold and leave them about places. My third one is still my favourite, a little purple flower print thing that looks somehow jaunty. They're always slightly uneven though. I hate that.

I've started drinking more Twinnings tea which came individually wrapped in foil, which I consider super wasteful, I prefer the Europan fruit teas which comes in cardboard boxes of bulk tea bags but it's hard to fine. I'm very pleased to discover that the foil wrappers are good for making silver paper cranes, and it looks kind neat too the other way around, I like having the foil on the outside as it's fruity scented naturally. I think when I drink the new box of Irish Breakfast Tea or Mint which have green packaging, I'll use it to make a grasshopper. Or a mini box for an even tinier grasshopper or crane . oat, Or paper boat, I remember folding these as a kid but I forgot how.
>>
>>623776
Brother... it's something they tell kids in order to train them to be patient and occupy themselves. The Japanese are not inherently ambitious people as individuals. Kid says, "I want X (or to be Y)," parents says, "that's nice, honey. Maybe go fold a thousand cranes for four months and it will come true"
>>
>>629396
There is a real legend, but in the end the wish didn't come true and it ends up being a sad story. People just get fixated on the wish granting.

Just keep trying. If you turn it at a 45° angle, you'll see it takes on a shape that reflects how messed up your life has been.

I don't get the question. lot of magazines vary in thickness. Those squares are almost thicker than I can use. It is a free travel mag so they are trying to look fancy. Here it is before I finished it and square of it
