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.

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…

All kinds of different people from all walks of life from any point in history can be folded out of paper and these are another bunch of my favourites. First we have an absolutely incredible…
This post was originally made back on April 7, 2016. Since then I’ve found a ton of other amazing dinosaur skeleton models. It’s not quite enough for a new post so I’ve gone back to this one and added in another bunch of incredible photos. The original post is below with the new models mixed…
I have some more time to work on the site again so I’m going to try to get some more regular posts going up again. In this post we’re going to take a look at a whole bunch of really great origami birds. All of these are really awesome but a few of these are…
One post I’ve wanted to make for a while now is one about origami logos. Interestingly enough there are some pretty cool origami versions of various logos. Many of the designs use a single sheet of paper with a different colour on each side for a very neat effect. So in this post we’ll be…
Review copy provided by Tuttle Publishing LaFosse & Alexander’s Essential Book of Origami is kind of a hard book to review. It’s definitely an interesting book but what you get out of it will depend on what you’re looking for. This book is written by Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander. These two are…
