HOW TO MAKE AN ORIGAMI MODEL..?

As we said before that origami or the art of folding paper is an easy art. You just need a beautiful paper with the color and texture of your choice. You can get a variety of choices from stationary shops. You can work on simple pieces at first and then progress to more complicated designs whenever you are ready.
And to get a beautiful and easy model , u should know these few things:

1. Fold each crease very well.
Every crease needs to be flattened quite well for a successful model . You can reinforce a crease by running the side of your thumbnail along the fold, or even use some sort of tool. I sometimes use the end of a plastic ruler, that works well without damaging the paper.
2. Follow the instructions.
Every part of the instructions is important, so read each description carefully, and look at each picture closely. If you miss a piece of information, it could make the model more difficult than it has to be.
3. Be patient.
If you are just learning how to make origami, you have to realize that it is contemplative and relaxed activity, that is, you can't go rushing through the instructions as fast as you can. It won't take long for you to be very good at origami especially with the diagrams but when you are just starting give yourself a lot of time to work it out.
4. Have fun...
Now you can try to make a simple model, and if you find it too easy, well, simply go on to a harder one.Don't forget that your own concept and design should reflect your creation.



Now, let's see some models with their diagrams..
