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 top of each other.


Step 7: Unfold and turn the paper back over


Step 8: Take the two points sticking out on each side and bring them down to the center...


...and squash the top flat. It gives you a waterbomb base on the top of the paper.


Step 9: Mountain fold the top point backwards


Step 10: Take the two 'wings' of the front of your waterbomb base and slide one into the other. This forms the actual hoop.


Step 11: Valley fold the left and right edges into the center


Step 12: Unfold the edges partway. This will make your hoop stand up on it's own. Your basketball hoop is now completed! Just crumple a smaller piece of paper into a ball and start shooting.

Origami Dragon (harder)

By Dallin -
Image
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
