>>623792 (OP)

Jo Nakashima's fish. It's a very fun model to fold because the weaving fold is very tricky to learn but once you get it you can just do it non-stop, like knitting. I folded one out of a big sheet of paper and it came out very satisfying

>>623800
thats sick as fuck

>>623798
whats that

>>623792 (OP)
I always carry around a tiny foldable set of scissors with me so I can easily make origami of whatever garbage piece of paper i have around, but my car killed itself and I lost my key chain so i been forced to use rectangle or be a savage and cut it with my hands. Is always fun to draw faces on the cats I make with these and is silly when i use a particularly long piece and get a long ass cat :3

>>627605
Damn imagine somebody going through your recycling bin just to see hundreds of those tiny things lol, could you lmk what it's called so i can find how to make it online? thanks!

Do you have diagram for the umbrella? I dont have a favorite but there are some designs I can't get ahold of

>>623793
Going by this, water bombs. I got extra credit in grade school for showing the class how to make them

when i was in year 7 i found out how to make water bombs from this book my mum gave me when i was around 11 and i thought there soo cute and i have them all around my room now i love making them anytime i have scrap paper in my room or at school some times i put little drawings or patterns on them so they are cool looking but i love all my boxes:3

>>627673
Thanks! That's awesome.

I always have an army of dragons by Jo Nakashima, they're pretty easy to make with stickynotes

>>627765
One of many dragon army's, this one is on my home desk

>>627767
Looks like an evolution from dog-like kilin to a creature growing their wings.

>>627767
damn you got all the colors

Honestly, paper claws. It's basic, but they're the only thing I can make from memory/make well and it's fun to tap on things with them XD

paper crain and paper frogs, because thats the only ones i know

>>627951
can you show me your frogs?

>>627951
frogs like cartoonish frogs or frogs like actually on 4 legs and shit

>>623793
Same. Can't remember more complex designs without a tutorial.

>>627998
idk how swans come easy to you guys, its like the hardest thing for me to learn it never comes out correctly

>>623792 (OP)

Crucifixes.

Don't know if this counts because it is only 1D folding

>>623792 (OP)
>Paper swans, it's muscle memory at this point.

I used to have a pile of them on my desk.

>>623797
frogs hell yeah. at my wagie job I used to make frogs out of receipt paper all day

>>623792 (OP)
I gave a unicorn to a girl once.

>>623795
Ghost in the shell much? I’m same. I leave them all over cause it makes me happy while being absent minded. I fold a bunch when eating out and just toss them on a plate or leave them in a window and a lot of wait staff fish them out. Wish I could do cooler things.

People really dig them when they find them. It’s odd. Idk what’s so special about them.

Little rabbits like this, they are so easy and everybody finds them cute. I like to give them away

>>628168
Also this t-rex, I work with children and meet lots of little spergs going through their dinosaur fase so they go crazy for them

>>628153
little things can brighten up anyone's day, anon. i never seen someone leave behind a paper swan for me to ponder.

>>623792 (OP)
thats beautiful

>>623792 (OP)
Dragons, cuz I like do these motherfuckers

>>628091
Holy crap bro!
This is so fucking cool!!

>>628217
And horses ... Cuz is the hardest thing I kn how to do

>>628218
Here's a simpler one.
2 paperclips, 4 bends
If you squint you might see a forbidden shape

>>628251
Got a new one. Resting state is a tetrahedron. Compressed state is a, um, shuriken. Interior rubber band pulls the structure to stand up.
Can use exterior rubber band (connecting shuriken points) if you don't have one small enough for interior.

that's sick dude
i adore doing butterflies, racoons and paper swans but that doesn't mean i'm good lol
i mostly do them with napkins when i'm bored

>>623792 (OP)
Don't have a picture but frogs that can jump. Learned it from a friend of the family when I was a kid and practiced until I could do it by heart. Easy as hell to make, can be made with a post-it note and kids go crazy for them.

I like to make paper ships out of candy wrappers so I can let them swim on top of the water I put in bowls after use to wash them more easily.
I also like to make them on the go, although I throw those away more quickly without giving them a chance to swim. I used to try to let paper ships swim in open water as a kid, back when I was really oblivious to the environment lol. I think a remote controlled model boat would be cool... I wish I lived closer to the sea so I could board real boats...

boxes with decorative lids. i love practical origami. i make lots of envelopes and boxes, and sometimes wish i had friends just to wrap up their gifts in a cute origami container
