Origami Pig

By Dallin -
The pig is a relatively simple origami animal. The pig looks pretty realistic, especially if made out of a nice bright pink piece of paper.



Step 1: Start with your paper color side down and valley fold the top to the bottom


Step 2: Unfold


Step 3: Valley fold the top and bottom edges to the center crease line


Step 4: Turn the model over


Step 5: Valley fold the model in half


Step 6: Unfold


Step 7: Valley fold the left and right edges to the center


Step 8: Squash fold the top left partition by taking the bottom edge of the top left square and squash folding it over (see pic below)


It should look like this:

Step 9: Repeat step 8 on the other four partitions


Step 10: Valley fold the middle point (on the right) to the far left


Step 11: Valley fold the bottom half up to the top



Step 12: Valley fold the top edge of the left corner down...

...like so:

Step 13: Do the same on the front 


Step 14: Turn the model over and repeat steps 12 and 13



Step 15: Once it looks like this valley fold the far left point up slightly, crease and unfold



Step 16: Inside reverse fold the flap up


Step 17: Valley fold the very tip down a tiny bit


Step 18: Reverse fold the point down to form a snout


Step 19: Unfold the top of the model to the bottom


Step 20: Valley fold the left part of the model to the right along the already present center crease


Step 21: Valley fold it back partway (crimp fold)


Step 22: Valley fold the bottom back up to the top. Now your pig will be a little more fat.

If you want you can paperclip the top so the pig does not stay wide open. If you don't have a paperclip or tape, I would just unfold what you did in steps 20-22.


Step 23: To form the feet do a modified crimp fold (just like in the dinosaur), pushing the tip back



Step 24: Do this to all four feet and your adorable piggy is complete!

Origami Dragon (harder)

By Dallin -

The dragon is my favorite origami model but it is definitely not a beginner model. To fold it, you need to be able to petal, squash, sink, valley, and reverse fold. If you can't do all of  these folds, refer to the  folds  post. Step 1: Fold a  bird base  and have the separate points at the bottom Step 2: Valley fold the top point down Step 3: Mountain fold the top point down around the back Step 4: Valley fold the top point to the middle crease line, crease, and unfold Step 5: Now open the paper and sink fold the tip down. You will see a small square in the middle... ... and pinch the edges a little to define them... ...now press the center point down to 'sink' it It should look like this: Step 6: Valley fold the top layer on the right to the left Step 7: Valley fold the bottom point up Step 8: Valley fold point A to point B (refer to pic above) Step 9: Repeat steps

Origami Basketball Hoop

The basketball hoop is a fun and interactive model. Once made, just crumple some paper into a ball and start shooting (you can also make a crumpled ball ). It can be made from either origami paper or printer paper. If you make it from origami paper, it won't be as tall, and won't stand up as easily, but it will still work. I would recommend making it from printer paper though. Also, it might fall over when being used, so just put a book or something behind it and it will stay up fine. Step 1: If you're using printer paper, orient it vertically. If you're using origami paper, make a  waterbomb base  and then skip to step 9. Step 2: Valley fold the top left corner over (the top edge should align with the right side) Step 3: Unfold Step 4: Valley fold the top right corner over to the left edge Step 5: Unfold and turn the paper over Step 6: After you've turned the paper over, fold the top edge down so the creases lie on t

Oragami Inflatable Frog

By Dallin -

The inflatable frog is a traditional Japanese origami model. It is a rather common model, but it's only one of many origami frogs out there. It is a rather advanced model, requiring squash and petal folds to make the base, and reverse folds to form the frog. It inflates, but is folded from a frog base rather than a waterbomb base. Step 1: Fold a  frog base Step 2: Valley fold the bottom right and left edges to the center Step 3: Repeat step 2 on the other three parts of the frog base  Step 4: Valley fold the top layer of the bottom two points up Step 5: Crease and unfold Step 6: Inside reverse fold the flaps up Step 7: Valley fold the two bottom points remaining out to their respective sides Step 8: Crease and unfold Step 9: Inside reverse fold the flaps Step 10: Now make reverse folds to form the arms and legs (use the picture below to know where to make your folds) Step 11: Blow into the litt
