Origami Witches' Claws

By Dallin -
These wearable origami witches' claws are the perfect addition to (almost) any Halloween costume. They are extremely easy, and it doesn't take long to fold enough for both hands. I folded mine from black construction paper to make them sturdier, but regular origami paper works fine too.

Step 1: Orient your paper regularly. If you are using origami paper have the white side up.


Step 2: Valley fold the top left corner down to the bottom right


Step 3: Valley fold the top corner to the far left corner


Step 4: Valley fold the top right edge down to the bottom edge


Step 5: Valley fold the left tip over


Step 6: Crease and unfold


Step 7: Open the little pocket created by the fold in step 4


Step 8: Tuck the little tip from step 6 into the pocket


Your witches' claws are now complete! To wear them, open the pocket from step 8 and just put your fingers in them.


Ta-da!

Origami Basketball Hoop

By Dallin -

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

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

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
