How to Use this Kit

The following tips offer suggestions about how to maximize the value of this kit:

• Treat yourself to an overview of the whole program by watching the entire video before you begin folding.

• Follow the lessons in order, and try not to jump around—instructions are often presented simply, initially, and developed to greater complexity in subsequent lessons.

• Use the booklet along with the DVD, side by side, when first learning a new project.

• When starting a new lesson, watch each video segment before folding any paper, so that you can focus your attention on the demonstration. It is okay to watch a clip more that once, before following along while folding paper, just as you might listen to a song several times before you sing it.

• Use the “pause,” “play,” and “back” features of your DVD player as needed to control the pace of each video lesson.

• Some beginners find it helpful to fold a series of “step-folds,” from small squares, for each project—pasting a sequence of folds into a scrapbook.

• Master and memorize each project before moving on to the next. Try to pace yourself to a couple of projects a week.

• Practice each model using many different types of papers to gain additional insight about the importance of paper choice.

• The best way to cement your understanding is to pass it along, so teach each origami project to a friend soon after you master it.
