For the longest time I wasn’t really able to find any really great origami cat designs. I could find the occasional lion or tiger that looked really awesome but there were only a few of those and I only really knew of one or two great house cat designs. Over the last little year or…
In this post we’re going to take a look at an impeccable collection of origami birds of all kinds. Excited? Let’s dive in! We’ll start things off with an adorable little owl sitting in a tree. This little owl has a ton of personality and expression and I really like the lighting in this photo…
I recently saw a couple of adorable and fantastic origami pigs and boars from Hiroaki Kobayashi’s Flickr and it gave me the idea to do a pig-themed post. In this post we’ll be showcasing an excellent collection of pigs of both the domesticated and wild varieties. You’re seriously going to squeal with delight when you see…
A little while ago someone suggested that I make a post all about origami jerboas. I’ve seen a few jerboas out there but not enough for an entire post. It did however give me the idea to make a desert themed post since jerboas are found in desert environments. There are a lot of different…
We’re finally back with another post and I’m going to do my best to get somewhat regular posts happening again! If you’ve been following this site for a while then you know that origami dragons are some of my favourite things. Dragons are super popular and there is no shortage of amazing designs from all…
I’ve always been a big fan of ancient Egypt and Egyptian mythology so I was quite excited to find a bunch of really great Egyptian themed origami models. This post was originally posted on January 9, 2017 but because I like Egypt so much (and because I saw some more excellent models) I’ve gone back…
Kusudamas are always a great topic and some of the people I follow create a lot of these! A kusudama for those not familiar with the term is a modular papercraft model in the shape of a ball. The name kusudama translates to something like “Medicine Ball” in Japanese. These models typically use 30 individually…
I’ve always really liked things folded from paper money, Money Origami. Traditionally one uses a square sheet of paper when folding but when you use money you have to deal with rectangles of various aspect ratios since every country’s money is a different shape. Plus every country uses different designs and colours on their money…
Paper dinosaurs are always awesome and the dinosaur designs out there are pretty incredible! In this post we’re going to take another look at some more incredible paper dinosaurs. We’ll start things off with this expertly folded Styracosaurs folded from a 35cm x 35cm square of paper. Philippe Landrein (the folder) definitely recommends bigger paper if…
If you’re a Star Wars fan then you should know that May 4th is Star Wars Day. It’s Star Wars Day because “May the Fourth” sounds like saying “May the Force Be With You,” a famous phase from Star Wars. So in honour of Star Wars Day today I’ve put together this post with some…
I first posted this Final Fantasy themed article about 2 years ago. Since then I’ve found a bunch more fantastic Final Fantasy themed models. Rather than make a second post I’ve decided to update this one with all the new models. Enjoy! There’s a ton of really awesome video game themed origami out there that…
In this post we’re going to take a look at another excellent round of papercrafts from under the sea. We’re talking fish, crustaceans, cephalopods and more! First up is an absolutely beautiful dolphinfish (mahi-mahi) folded from some of the most beautiful looking origami paper I’ve ever seen. Dolphinfish (Mahi-Mahi), Designed by Winston Lee and Folded by…
