      Key to Origami Symbols

      Crease Line

      Fold in front

      Fold and unfold

      Fold behind

      Turn paper over

      Repeat behind

      Push or pull

      Blow air to inflate

      Kite

      Traditional Design

      This is one of the simplest origami bases, a set of folds common to many origami pieces. It shows how a few folds transform a square into a dynamic shape with unlimited uses. Make several, and then tile them with glue or tape onto a card—eight will form a flat starburst. Glue smaller kites of a different color for the contrasting center. Fewer tiled kites make cupped flower blossoms.

      1Fold in half, corner to corner, and unfold.

      2Fold two edges to meet at the crease.

      3Turn over.

      4The finished Kite.

      5Paste or tape the kites together on a greeting card or display board.

      Use the origami kite to make decorative shapes—eight kites make a star. Make large kites and small kites to add layers of color.

      Duck

      Traditional Design

      This simple and charming origami duck illustrates outside reverse folds. Notice how the paper is first pleated before folding the model in half. By pulling each segment outward and pinching it at the correct angle, you can change the expression, or attitude of your model. Fold a family from different sizes and colors.

      1Fold in half, corner to corner, and unfold.

      2Fold two edges to meet at the crease.

      3Turn over.

      4Fold up the bottom corner.

      5Fold corner to the bottom edge.

      6Mountain-fold in half.

      7Pull up the neck.

      8Pull up the beak.

      9The finished Duck.

      Fish

      Traditional Design

      This is an action model from a fish base, an efishient method of forming a slender shape as long as the square’s diagonal. Folding the raw edges to the inner diagonal completely covers the white side. This base cleverly produces a pair of rabbit ears—two pointed flaps from the excess length which create upper and lower jaws of the hungry toy.

      1Fold in half, corner to corner, both ways.

      2Fold two edges from the left side to meet at the crease. Unfold.

      3Fold two edges from the right side to meet at the crease. Unfold.

      4Fold all four edges to meet at the horizontal crease. Let the top and bottom corners fold in half.
