Origami

art · paper · crafts

Folding magic. Origami is the art of folding paper into amazing two- and three-dimensional shapes, no cutting or glue needed in the classic style.

Just one square. Many origami creations start from a single square sheet of paper and are built entirely from clever folds.

Beyond paper. Today people use origami ideas with other materials too, like metal and fabric, not just paper.

Folds in science. Scientists even borrow the word 'origami' to describe folded structures in nature, like the way DNA folds up.
