Reguiar typing paper may be too heavy to llow the many tight folds needed for some figures. Be aware, too, that some kinds of paper may stretch slightly, either in length or in width, and this may cause a problem in paper folding. Packets of paper especialy for use in origami are available from craft and hatbby shops. Unless otherwise indicated, the usual paper used in creating these forms is square, 15 by 15 centimeters or approximately 6 by 6 inches. Some forms may call for half a square, Le. 3 by 6 inches or cut diagonally, a triangle. A few origami forms requite a more rectangular size or a longer piece of Paper. For those who are learning and have a problem getting their fingers to work tight folds, larger sizes of paper can be used. Actually, any size Paper squares can be used—slightly larger figures are easier to make than overly small ones. The paper provided within this gift sat is 6 by 6 inches, easy to work with for origami novices. GLUE Use an easy flowing but not loose paper glue. Use it sparingly: don't soak the paper. A toothpick makes a good applicator. Allow the glued form time to Gry. Avoid using stick glue, as the application pressure needed (especially if the stick has become dry) can damage your figure. TECHNIQUE Fold with care. Position the paper, especially at comers, precisely and see that ediges ine up before creasing a fold. Once you are sure of the fold, use: fingernail to make a clean, flat crease, Don't get discouraged with your fist efforts. In time, what your mind can create, your fingers can fashion.SYMBOLS & LINES ererrereste ee HHH valley fold mountain fold Cutline Tum over Fold then unfold Pleat fold Crease line orotate (epeated folding) SQUARING OFF PAPER Toke arectanguier 2.

CS ‘Gm ge fyBase folds are basic forms that do not in themselves produce origami, but serve as a bass. or jumping-off point, for a number of creative origami figures—some quite complex. As when beginning other crafts, learning to fold these base folds is not the most exciting part of origami. They are, however, easy to do, and will help you with your technique. They also quickty become rote, so much so that you can do many using aitferent-colored Papers while you are watching televsion or your mind is elsewhere. With completed base folds handy, if you want te quickly work up a form or are suddenly inspired with an idea for an original, unique figure, you can select ‘an appropriate base fold and swiftly bring a new creation to life.
