The Origami Forum

Hi everyone,

I am a young folder and have never done a crease pattern before and it looks very hard from what I have seen on the forum I was wondering if there were any very simple CPs for me to start with.

Thanks

Jerry

It is a little diligence and experience and you can collect any CP
good luck emberjelly

Hey Jerry!
Welcome to the forum! I'm glad to see another australian folder here. Which city do you live in? I live in sydney!
I'm just starting on cps too and had my first success with komatsu's penguin: http://www.origami.gr.jp/~komatsu/gallery/penguin.html
Good luck!

This is probably one of the newbest question ever but how do you tell which one's are mountain folds and which one's are valley folds?

hi,
i am trying to make the cat and i sat for nearly an hour trying to fold some of them but i just can't get any bit of it shaped i don't know where to start.
is there any trick to folding from CPs?
thanks
jerry

A good place to start is this sticky topic.

Same for me! It's such a simple model

Same for me! It's such a simple model

That makes me feel tons better, cheers

you can http://www.creasepattern.com/origami/cp ... iate1.html

Actually, I didn't find Guspath Go's cat very easy; the first time I folded it, I spent about half an hour trying to figure out which flaps went where, and I still don't think I got it right. Good luck on that one!

I think some of Manuel Sirgo's crease-patterns are easy enough:

You can find a lot more crease patterns here, although most of them are relatively complex:

oh, and I forgot to mention my first CP: Roman Diaz's frog (http://design.origami.free.fr/bestof/diaz/CP.htm)

Have fun!
