Blog Origami

Most of the origami pieces posted here on blog origami are relatively simple and basic. Also, most of the origami pieces don’t actually function too much. Today, for the first time, I discovered origami fireworks. The origami fireworks origami piece isn’t actually like some sort of origami that explodes (do not try putting gun powder into origami because this may be dangerous), it is just a piece of origami that looks like fireworks. This piece has the fireworks effect because it is actually functional, kind of like a toy, because you are able to turn / spin it and it rotates so that you keep on seeing different colors. I just thought that the origami fireworks are really cool, so here is a video just showing the origami fireworks. Once you have become an experienced origami maker you can give the origami fireworks a shot, but they are probably the hardest origami to make that have been posted blog origami. I think a really good idea would be to use bright and neon colored pieces of origami paper when making this origami, so that it will look even more like fireworks!

The origami firework is a really neat piece of origami, I think it would make a really good toy for a kid…

With origami, the origami swan is usually the most popular origami bird. But, another one of my favorite origami bird pieces is the origami duck. What I reallly like about the origami duck is that when you finish making the duck it actually really resembles a duck. I have found that sometimes origami guides for certain types of animals etc. don’t even come out looking like that type of animal, and I really like how the origami duck actually ends up looking like a duck. Another nice thing about the origami duck is that it is relatively easy to make, it definately takes less time than a swan. Learning how to make an origami duck should take no more than five minutes and you get a really nice result. So here is a video guide to show you how to make an origami duck. This video guide is probably one of the best / most clear and easy guides I have found on the web, so making the origami duck should really be quite easy.

If you have any problems with learning how to make an origami duck, just leave a comment here and I will answer any origami duck questions that you may have. Good luck making this really cool origami!

I have always known that origami has many interesting uses, and has always been pretty popular. But I recently discovered that at one time there was actually an origami cartoon show. The cartoon animation actually used origami ducks as characters. The origami animation was a children’s show called Quaq quao. It is very interesting, because these days you know that you would never see something like this. But, it is kind of like a blast into origami’s past; showing how over the years origami must have had some popularity. Although I don’t know if Quaq Quao is my favorite tv show, I do know that this animation is very interesting in the way that it used origami to create the animation. So, enjoy this origami video, kids will probably enjoy this one.

hopefully everyone enjoyed this episode of Quaq Quao.

What I love most about the craft of origami is that it can really be used in so many ways and to do / make so many different types of things. Most of us are used to seeing the beautifull and elegant origami cranes, but origami can also be used to fold t-shirts, make computers (microsoft’s new origami project), and more. So here are the video instructions for how to make an origami trash box. Unlike some of those elegant origami pieces, the origami trash box is more of a functional item. All you need to create the box are some old papers that you are going to throw away, like magazines etc. and from these you can make a trash box to put other trash in. And when you origami trash box is full, then you can simply just throw away the whole box with the trash inside. This video guide makes it very clear and easy to learn how to make an origami trash box. I really like how the origami trash box shows a whole new side to origami.

This is really a nice video that makes the whole process quite simple.

There are many versions / ways to make an origami flower. One of my favorite origami flowers is actually made with money. The moneygami flower uses $3, or three one dollar bills. Its probably one of the more expensive origami pieces you will make, and I guess you can make it a three hundred dollar origami flower by using hundred dollar bills. But, I think that the three dollar moneygami flower is nice, because it can make for the perfect tip at lunch, or a nice present is higher currencies are used. So basically, the moneygami origami flower is very versatile and can function as a nice tip or present, or just be a nice display on your shelf. This origami video shows how to make the money origami flower. This guide is very clear, and in no time you will learn how to make the flower.

If you had any problems learning how to make a $3 origami flower, with this moneygami video, then please leave a comment here and I will answer any origami questions that you have.

If you enjoy learning how to make traditional origami, then you will definately like the idea of making origami with your t-shirts. Well, not exactly t-shirt origami as in a crane or something, but t-shirt origami as in an easy way to fold your t-shirt using origami techniques. This japanese t-shirt folding technique is truly so much faster and better than the traditional way to fold a t-shirt. Learning how to fold a t-shirt, origami style, really isn’t hard at all; and when you master the technique it really looks quite amazing when you fold the t-shirt in like 2 seconds. So i guess the truth is that origami can be transfered to doing other things than just traditional origami on paper. But, I still have not seen an origami t-shirt crane or ball or anything of that sort (if I do I will make sure to make a post!). So take a look at this video, and pretty soon you will be folding your t-shirts origami style, and it will take you only a fraction of the time compared to regular t-shirt folding techniques.

If you have any problems learning how to fold your t-shirt, origami style, just leave a comment here and any questions you have will be answered.

The origami dragon is a very cool origami, although it is decently difficult to make. I think that it is a lot easier to learn how to make an origami dragon with instructions via video.

So try out this video instruction guide, and pretty soon you will have learned how to make an awesome origami dragon.

This guide is for a very simplified origami dragon. Online you can also find instructions for advanced origami dragons which take upwards of 200 steps and a really long time to make! Once again, if you had any problems with these instructions just leave a poste here.

In the previous guide at blogorigami, we showed you how to create an origami rose. However, if you do not have the time or are not yet experienced enough at origami to create the rose, then then the origami flower is perfect for you. This video instructions guide will teach you how to make an origami flower. Making the origami flower is very easy, and the result you get looks amazing (especially if you use nice origami paper). However, I’m not sure if this origami flower actually qualifies as “true origami”, because it does you staples… Anyhow, this origami flower is actually very cool, and not too hard to make, so give it a shot, and make this origami flower.
