September 12 is officially Video Game Day and since I love video games this is the perfect opportunity to take a look at some more video game themed origami. Fortunately there are tons of really excellent models from all kinds of different games all throughout gaming history. No matter what kind of games you like…
After dragons origami insects might just be my next favourite thing. There really aren’t any other types of models that have the same level of complexity and details while looking so much like the real-life versions. You can really tell that a lot of work has gone into these designs and probably a ton of…
There are a ton of absolutely fantastic origami bears out there so in this post we’re going to take a look at some of our favourites. I hope you’re pre-beared! First up is very life-like looking bear. The paper used here is really awesome and looks quite like fur. Bear, Designed by Nicolas Terry and…
In this post we’re going to take a look at an impeccable collection of origami birds of all kinds. Excited? Let’s dive in! We’ll start things off with an adorable little owl sitting in a tree. This little owl has a ton of personality and expression and I really like the lighting in this photo…
I recently saw a couple of adorable and fantastic origami pigs and boars from Hiroaki Kobayashi’s Flickr and it gave me the idea to do a pig-themed post. In this post we’ll be showcasing an excellent collection of pigs of both the domesticated and wild varieties. You’re seriously going to squeal with delight when you see…
A little while ago someone suggested that I make a post all about origami jerboas. I’ve seen a few jerboas out there but not enough for an entire post. It did however give me the idea to make a desert themed post since jerboas are found in desert environments. There are a lot of different…
I’ve always been a big fan of ancient Egypt and Egyptian mythology so I was quite excited to find a bunch of really great Egyptian themed origami models. This post was originally posted on January 9, 2017 but because I like Egypt so much (and because I saw some more excellent models) I’ve gone back…
Kusudamas are always a great topic and some of the people I follow create a lot of these! A kusudama for those not familiar with the term is a modular papercraft model in the shape of a ball. The name kusudama translates to something like “Medicine Ball” in Japanese. These models typically use 30 individually…
I’ve always really liked things folded from paper money, Money Origami. Traditionally one uses a square sheet of paper when folding but when you use money you have to deal with rectangles of various aspect ratios since every country’s money is a different shape. Plus every country uses different designs and colours on their money…
Paper dinosaurs are always awesome and the dinosaur designs out there are pretty incredible! In this post we’re going to take another look at some more incredible paper dinosaurs. We’ll start things off with this expertly folded Styracosaurs folded from a 35cm x 35cm square of paper. Philippe Landrein (the folder) definitely recommends bigger paper if…
If you’re a Star Wars fan then you should know that May 4th is Star Wars Day. It’s Star Wars Day because “May the Fourth” sounds like saying “May the Force Be With You,” a famous phase from Star Wars. So in honour of Star Wars Day today I’ve put together this post with some…
I first posted this Final Fantasy themed article about 2 years ago. Since then I’ve found a bunch more fantastic Final Fantasy themed models. Rather than make a second post I’ve decided to update this one with all the new models. Enjoy! There’s a ton of really awesome video game themed origami out there that…
In this post we’re going to take a look at another excellent round of papercrafts from under the sea. We’re talking fish, crustaceans, cephalopods and more! First up is an absolutely beautiful dolphinfish (mahi-mahi) folded from some of the most beautiful looking origami paper I’ve ever seen. Dolphinfish (Mahi-Mahi), Designed by Winston Lee and Folded by…
Animals are probably the most commonly folded type of origami but there are a lot of cool looking people designs. All kinds of different people from all walks of life from any point in history can be folded out of paper and these are another bunch of my favourites. First we have an absolutely incredible…
This post was originally made back on April 7, 2016. Since then I’ve found a ton of other amazing dinosaur skeleton models. It’s not quite enough for a new post so I’ve gone back to this one and added in another bunch of incredible photos. The original post is below with the new models mixed…
I have some more time to work on the site again so I’m going to try to get some more regular posts going up again. In this post we’re going to take a look at a whole bunch of really great origami birds. All of these are really awesome but a few of these are…
One post I’ve wanted to make for a while now is one about origami logos. Interestingly enough there are some pretty cool origami versions of various logos. Many of the designs use a single sheet of paper with a different colour on each side for a very neat effect. So in this post we’ll be…
Review copy provided by Tuttle Publishing LaFosse & Alexander’s Essential Book of Origami is kind of a hard book to review. It’s definitely an interesting book but what you get out of it will depend on what you’re looking for. This book is written by Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander. These two are…
Happy Chinese New Year everyone! 2018 is the year of the dog so it’s a great opportunity to take a look at a bunch of awesome origami dogs. First up is this incredible doberman. The colour change in the design is fantastic and this looks really great with brown and black paper. Doberman, Designed by J.W…
Valentines Day is almost here and I don’t think I’ve ever done a post about Valentines Day themed origami. This is kind of surprising because there’s actually a lot of great models out there based around themes of love, marriage and other things perfect for this holiday. We’ll get right into the Valentines Day mood…
With the recent release of Monster Hunter World I figured now would be the perfect time to do a post all about Monster Hunter origami. The Monster Hunter series is very popular with quite a strong following so it makes sense that people would design origami versions of the various monsters found throughout the series….
January 20th is officially Penguin Awareness Day, a day designed to raise awareness of penguins and the fact that their populations are decreasing around the world. There are a lot of different species of penguins in real life and there are lots of different origami versions of them as well. In this post we’re going…
The Last Jedi came out some what recently, I know I’m a bit late, and I’m a really big Star Wars fan so in this post we’re going to take a look at some more amazing Star Wars origami! This time around I tried to focus more on designs from the new movies but there’s…
Disclaimer: Tuttle Publishing provided a free copy of this book for this review. I’ve always been a huge fan of Byriah Loper’s “mind-blowing” interlocking modular origami models. I always had no idea how someone could design or fold amazing models like these. I’m still not sure how he could have possibly designed his models but…
