With the recent release of Pokemon Sun and Moon I think it’s time for another origami Pokemon post. Since our last round of Pokemon posts I’ve found a bunch more awesome looking paper Pokemon that deserve to be featured. We’ll star off this post with an awesome Gengar design by sakuryu(╯3╰). Gengar, Designed and Folded by sakuryu(╯3╰)…
We’re setting the record for the most puns in a post title with this one! Origami cats are a curious thing. I’ve come across a lot of really fantastic origami lion and tiger models. Even some panthers, leopards and other large cats. House cats on the other hand are much harder to find. I don’t…
Origami dragons are still probably my favourite thing and there’s no shortage of incredible origami dragons out there. Here’s another post featuring another round of some of my favourite origami dragons. First up is one of the most famous and coolest looking origami dragons by Satoshi Kamiya. Ancient Dragon, Designed by Satoshi Kamiya and Folded…
We’ve done several posts featuring origami dinosaurs but this time we’re going to feature different prehistoric animals.

Surprisingly enough there’s a lot of great origami inspired from Pixar, Disney, Dreamworks and other animated movies. Pretty much anything that people like can be used to inspire origami artists. We’ll start this post off with a pair of origami Minions and each of them is folded from one sheet of paper. Minions, Designed and Folded by…
This is another origami animal themed post and this time the theme is arctic animals or animals that live in the cold and snow in general. Starting out we have this beautiful polar bear. It’s a fairly simple design but it certainly has a lot of character. Polar Bear, Designed by Giang Dinh and Folded by Ilan…
Animals are definitely the most popular things to fold out of paper and over the years I’ve seen a huge amount of great origami animals. I have a huge list of paper animals to feature so it’s time to start making some animal themed posts. This time we’re featuring woodland animals. These are the types of…
An interesting thing that I’ve noticed some origami artists doing is designing models that are half one animal and half another ending up with a strange sort of hybrid creature. I’ve reached a point where I’ve seen enough of these that I decided to make a post about them. Eric Vigier is a master of…
The World Wildlife Fund in Spain is currently running an origami challenge in order to help protect migratory birds in Spain. Doñana National Park in Spain is one of the most important sites for migratory birds in all of Europe. Every year six million birds visit this park and they rely on its wetland to…
I was collecting origami unicorns for a sort of general mythological creature themed post but ended up with enough of them with enough different designs that I figured they deserved their own entire post.

I decided to collect these together and put together a…
If you’re a fan of super heroes then you’ll definitely want to check out some of the origami in this post and yes, I realize that a lot of these are DC characters but “marvel-ous” was the best pun I could come up with. First up is this great little origami Captain America. Captain America,…
I’ve always been a fan of origami koi. There are only a few major koi designs but they’re always great and the koi people fold are always really beautiful. Often people use really great paper or make collections of rainbow coloured koi and do lots of other neat things with them. Our first image is…
Dinosaurs are a very popular topic in origami. We’ve posted about them before and we’re probably not going to run out of awesome dinosaur origami in a very long time so here’s another post full of incredible origami dinosaurs. Tran Trung Hieu is a master at designing origami dinosaurs so we’ll open this post with this…
There’s a pretty wide array of origami snakes out there. I didn’t think there would be so much since origami is usually folded from a square sheet of paper and snakes are so long, but surprisingly enough, there are some amazing origami snake designs out there. A lot of them are folded from a giant…
When doing research for this website I was surprised to find a ton of really awesome origami shoes. Here’s a great basketball shoe design from Sipho Mabona.

There will probably be at least 2 or 3 more posts in the future since there’s such a large amount of anime-themed origami. I never…
I realize that title for this post is pretty bad but if you can come up with a better fish-related pun that I could use let minnow.

Video tutorials are a great way to learn how to fold origami. Unlike printed diagrams, you can actually see the intermediate steps and how all the folds work. There are a ton of origami video tutorials on YouTube that are of varying quality. Also, sometimes, the person who made the video has permission from the…
The phoenix is a mythological creature that you see appear in Egyptian, Greek and Chinese mythology. Rather than including some origami phoenixes in posts about those topics I decided to create a new post completely dedicated to the origami phoenix since there’s surprisingly a lot of really awesome designs. When it comes to origami phoenixes…
Surprisingly enough there are a lot of origami food models and a lot of them are actually quite amazing. You don’t normally think about food when it comes to origami, it’s usually things like animals or shapes but this just goes to show you that if you’re a good enough designer you can fold literally…
A while ago we made a post about paper insects that ended up being much more popular than I thought it would be.
