Folding instructions

This is a selection of folding instructions that I made. This collection of origami diagrams and video tutorials is going to be regularly updated and extended. Most of them are traditional designs, that I remember from my childhood, and some are my own creations. All of these are easy to intermediate and should be well doable after some practice.

Some diagrams can be downloaded as PDF.
