Welcome to the Origami community!


This is a place for sharing finished origami projects, asking questions or simply talking to others about this wonderful hobby. It doesn't matter whether you're a beginner, intermediate or expert, this place is for all origamists alike!

When showing a finished project, please share the source diagrams or video whenever possible - either by posting a link (if it's a website or file) or by naming the title of the book, so others can try it too.

Kirigami (an origami variant where you don't only fold but also cut the paper) is welcome as well, but please mark your posts accordingly by putting [Kirigami] in the beginning of your title.

Other than that, please be respectful and nice to others! Thank you and have a nice stay!

Not my best folds. I had some difficulty with the maple leaf. 🍁

Mushroom: https://artsycraftsymom.com/easy-origami-mushroom-craft/ Yellow leaf: https://www.paperkawaii.com/simple-origami-leaf-instructions-video-tutorial/ Maple leaf: https://www.momsandcrafters.com/origami-maple-leaf/

Does anyone know of a good site for origami instructions? I prefer photo/written instructions over videos. These mom blogs are just stuff that came up in a search and I find them a bit annoying.

If they aren't there already, you should upload them to https://annas-archive.org/

Thanks for the offer, but the link posted in the other comment should work. I also have a couple physical books.
