Praise for Everyone can Learn Origami
“Easy to follow instructions and cute projects. Peter’s book is geared towards origami beginners, and it is perfect for newbies. The book starts with explanations of the basic folds, then goes into the projects. Each project has multiple easy to follow instructions. In fact, there’s one image per step. It kind of reminds me of LEGO instructions. Every single step has a clearly illustrated and labeled drawing to explain it. It is the easiest to understand origami instructions that I have ever read. I started with the simpler folds then skipped ahead to a few slightly more challenging designs. It was hard for me to stop. There is something so calming about folding paper! You kind of get into a rhythm and you just want to keep making things. I honestly am looking forward to trying all the projects in this book!”

Who is this Book For?
This book is for people who are new to origami and looking for somewhere to start. The diagrams in it are incredibly detailed with one fold per step, sometimes even multiple steps per fold. Other origami books can have intimidating instructions that assume you’re already familiar with certain techniques or ask you to repeat certain steps mirrored on the opposite side with no visual guides. There’s none of that in this book. Our goal here is to make origami as easy and accessible as possible for every one.
Please Note, this book is not for you if you’re already an origami expert. If you already know how to fold the traditional origami frog from a Frog Base then you probably already know everything that this book can teach you.
