Origami

Origami


Origami from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper"; is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD at the latest and was popularized outside of Japan in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami. Paper cutting and gluing is usually considered kirigami.

      Hi Shaq, I think you need to start off with the easy ones and work your way up to the hard ones, it takes a lot of time, practice and patience!

    that origami stuff is so cool I wish I knew how to do all of that origami.
    I also like that table tennis game and the wack a mole game they are realy cool!!!

      Thanks, I made the inflatable bunny, but
      when I tried to blow it up it ripped. Before
      I did that I tried putting eyes and whiskers
      on it. I made a hole so now when I try to blow it up it deflates
