      About Origami Techniques

      To help you make sense of the lines and arrows on the drawings, you should study the explanations of a few basic techniques. It will be well worth a few minutes to learn to recognize the Four Important Symbols and Three Procedures, which are international standards for origami.

      Any action to be taken at each step is shown in red on the diagrams.

      FOUR IMPORTANT SYMBOLS

      Learn to recognize these four simple clues, which are often overlooked by beginners.

      1. Valley Fold

      Fold the square in half by bringing one edge of the paper toward you and matching it to the opposite edge.

      A valley fold is always shown by a line of dashes. You have made a valley fold.

      With this one simple fold, you have made a greeting card.

      2. Mountain Fold

      Fold the square in half by guiding one edge of the paper to the back and matching it to the opposite edge. A mountain fold is shown by a dash-dot-dash line and an arrow.

      You have made a mountain fold.

      With this one simple fold you have made a tent.

      3. Arrows

      Make a valley fold.

      Double arrow — Fold and unfold.

      Make a mountain fold.

      Curly arrow — Turn the paper over.

      4. Existing Crease

      An existing crease, made previously, is shown by a thin line that does not touch the edges.

      Existing crease

      THREE PROCEDURES

      In these three procedures, which occur frequently in paperfolding, several steps are combined into one standard process.

      1. Inside Reverse Fold

      One of the most common procedures is called an inside reverse fold.

      1. Fold a small square from corner to corner.

      2. Place the paper exactly as shown. Fold the top corner over to the right, so that it peeks over the open edge.

      3a. Let the paper open up, and push the corner in between the two layers of paper, on the creases you made in Step 2.

      3b. Close up the paper.

      4. Completed inside reverse fold

      The instructions for making an inside reverse fold are indicated with a dash-dot-dash line, the same as for a mountain fold, but the text states that you must make an inside reverse fold.

      You may wonder why this procedure is called a reverse fold: In Step 2 you will see that the doubled paper is made up of a mountain fold on the front layer and a valley fold on the back layer. After you have pushed the corner in between the two layers of paper in Step 3, you have reversed the valley fold into a mountain fold.

      2. Outside Reverse Fold

      With an outside reverse fold, the paper is wrapped around the outside of a corner.

      1. Fold a small square from corner to corner.

      2. Place the paper exactly as shown. Valley fold the top corner over to the left, so that it peeks over the folded edge.

      3a. Unfold Step 2.

      3b. Let the paper open up and valley fold on the creases made in Step 2.

      4. Completed outside reverse fold

      Outside reverse folds are often used for heads, feet, and hats. The instructions for making an outside reverse fold are indicated with a dashed line, the same as for a valley fold, but the text states that you must make an outside reverse fold.

      3. Rabbit's Ear

      A rabbit's ear is always formed on a triangle, whenever it occurs during the folding of a model.

      1. Fold a square from corner to corner.

      2. You now have a triangle.
