Origami Crease Patterns

Crease patterns are a quick and easy way to record how to fold an origami model. A crease pattern is basically just an origami model that has been unfolded and shows all the creases on the original flat piece of paper. It’s much harder to fold an origami model from a crease pattern than it is from a diagram. I personally still have trouble doing it, even with simple models.

Here, you’ll find links to many free origami crease patterns from all over the Internet. Crease Patterns marked with a heart are some of my favorites. The difficulty ranges from Beginner > Easy > Intermediate > Advanced > Super Complex. The difficulty is purely based on how complicated I think the crease pattern looks.

Please note that none of these crease patterns are hosted on this site. The link here will take you to the pattern on someone else’s site. I tried to link to an actual HTML page on the site wherever possible, but in some cases, this was not possible.
