Helpful Tips For Origami Folding
Before you try any origami procedures or projects pay attention to these important tips.
-Try to get the kind of paper most suitable for the origami you plan to fold. This will help beautify the finished model.
-Before you start, make sure your paper is the correct shape.
Fold on a smooth flat surface, such as a table or book.
-Make your folds neat and accurate.
-Press your folds into place by running your thumbnail along them.
Do not panic if your first few attempts at folding are not very successful.
-With practice you will come to understand and get a feel for how the paper behaves when it is folded.
-If a whole model does not work out do not give up hope. Go through any illustrations or plans you may have and read every word of it step by step. Make sure you haven’t missed a word or symbol. If you still cannot complete the model, put it aside and come back to it another day with a fresh mind.
