Introduction

What’s all this buzz about origami? It seems that everywhere we look, people are folding paper! Paper folding is no longer just greeting cards with cranes folded from pretty scraps of paper. Origami art has advanced so much recently that now we are seeing it grace retail store windows; on television and in print ads; as clever dollar bill folds on display in restaurants; being used as “tangible manipulatives” to teach geometry more effectively in our schools; on display in libraries; and even as fine art exhibitions in the poshest museums around the world.

Perhaps paper folding appeals to you, but you have never done it. Maybe beginner’s projects were too simple and did not appeal to you? Thanks to the video, an origami novice can attempt a wider range of challenging subjects. We created the Ultimate Origami Kit for Beginners to help you become acquainted with the fun and surprising breadth of origami today. We have developed or selected these projects from several popular categories of design: traditional favorites, multi-piece flowers, clever paper airplanes, cute and cuddly animals; and dollar bill folds. Whether you are a relative newcomer to origami, or have folded paper all your life, this kit has several projects that are sure to become some of your favorites.
