A GUIDE TO ORIGAMI FOLDING SYMBOLS

Valley fold

Fold the paper in the usual way.

Valley fold and unfold

Make a crease, and then unfold it.

Mountain fold

Fold a flap or layer behind. This can usually be made as a valley fold by turning the paper over.

Turn over

Lift the paper up and turn it upside down, like flipping a pancake.

Repeat arrow

Whatever move you have made is repeated elsewhere on the paper. The arrow may give you specific steps to repeat and / or show how many times to repeat the step.

Rotate 180 degrees

Turn the paper so the lowest edge becomes the uppermost edge.

Rotate 90 degrees

Turn the paper a quarter turn in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Fold to dotted line

A dotted line denotes an imaginary crease or edge as guidance for a fold.

Pleat

This is a combination of valley and mountain folds, which are made at the same time.

Pull out

The wide open arrows indicate where flaps of layers should be restored to a previous position.

Outside reverse fold

The paper is wrapped around the outside. This fold is usually precreased before folding.

Inside reverse fold

The paper is pushed inside existing layers. This fold is usually precreased before folding.

Crimp

A black triangle indicates that you will be applying pressure to the paper somewhere. Here, the symbol is used to indicate a crimp, which is a 3-D pleat.

Fold equal distances

This is usually a general guide, rather than one that requires accuracy.

Squash fold

A black triangle indicates you will be applying pressure to the paper somewhere. Here the symbol is used to indicate a squash fold, where a pocket is opened, and then pressed flat.
