Question

i have been looking on making origami for a school extra credit, but im getting these rabbit ear, blintz,reverse folds and stuff. i have gone on different websites, but the diagrams don't explain well. please help me =)

Answer 1

Here are some web sites that have some good diagrams of the basic folds, once you learn these it makes reading instructions alot easier. http://www.fishgoth.com/origami/basics1.html

Then try something simple like the paper cup, the crane is famous but it isn't the best for beginers. http://www.tutorials.com/08/0855/08555.asp
