How do you keep corner folds neat and sharp?

What do you mean by corner folds?

a fold where the tip is a corner of the square, like a leg on an animal

I try my best to make the best folds I can, pre creasing and practice practice practice...

I also manipulate the paper some times, if the fold is not going to line up, I will roll it a little then crease, or lightly crease to get where I want then press hard to get the solid crease.

thanx squid thats really helpful and i am not being sarcastic i swear

One very basic thing is the very beginning of all. Make sure your piece of paper (square, rectangle, triangle, whatever) is accurate.

np... I also forgot to add, Take your time and use paper you can handle, some times too large or too small makes folding harder to do, I manly use the 3x3 and 5x5 inch paper, but Im no master folder

generally i buy generic 6x6 origami paper from michaels her in small town america it works most of the time, but has a tendency to flip inside out if you pleat diagonals
