We’re finally coming to the end of the Best Origami of 2018 posts! This time we’re going to look at the best modular models. These are pretty much all geometric shapes created from multiple sheets of paper folded into individual units and assembled together. This also includes kusudamas. You can vote for your favourite model…

First up a quick note about that best origami of 2018 contest I wanted to do. That’s still happening and I should be making a post with all the details for that contest soon so be sure to keep an eye out for that. Next up is a special gift from me! I’m going to…
So Iâve been thinking of putting together some kind of 2018 End-of-the-Year Origami Awards and Iâd like to get some feedback. My initial thought is to come up with some categories such as âthe best origami dragonsâ, âthe best origami fishâ, âthe top most awesome origami models I saw all yearâ, âthe most unique looking…
Over the last little while I’ve noticed more and more people folding origami playing cards. These models are super impressive because usually they use paper that’s white on one side and red or black on the other side. The designs use colour changes so you end up with a white card background and red hearts…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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….
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…
In this post we’re going to take a look at something new, origami weapons and armour. Believe it or not people have folded everything from swords to guns and a lot of these models are very impressive. We’ll start off this post with this great paper tank photographed at a convention in South Korea. Tank,…
It’s time to take another look at origami kusudamas. A kusudama is essentially a modular paper model made up of various units assembled into a ball-like shape. They’re often quite beautiful with very interesting shapes and amazing colour schemes. First up we have this beautiful flowery orange kusudama. It’s assembled from 30 units. Allegretto, Designed…
In this post we’re going to take a look at a ton of different mythological creatures and figures from cultures all over the world. First up is an origami version of Sleipnir, the 8-legged horse from Norse mythology. Sleipnir is the “best of all horses” and Odin’s personal steed. Sleipnir, Designed by Satoshi Kamiya and…
Dinosaurs continue to be some of my favourite things to fold so in this post we’re going to take a look at another fantastic round of origami dinosaurs. Kaede Nakamura has designed an excellent Styracosaurus. Finding a way to fold all those horns couldn’t have been easy. Styracosaurus, Designed and Folded by Kaede Nakamura Instructions not…
