Welcome to the Origami community!

This is a place for sharing finished origami projects, asking questions or simply talking to others about this wonderful hobby. It doesn't matter whether you're a beginner, intermediate or expert, this place is for all origamists alike!

When showing a finished project, please share the source diagrams or video whenever possible - either by posting a link (if it's a website or file) or by naming the title of the book, so others can try it too.

Kirigami (an origami variant where you don't only fold but also cut the paper) is welcome as well, but please mark your posts accordingly by putting [Kirigami] in the beginning of your title.

Other than that, please be respectful and nice to others! Thank you and have a nice stay!

If you're having trouble making this, the cloaked version is much simpler.

I love it! It's very recognizable. It must be really hard to invent a new origami design.

Because I can't stop won't stop posting Eurovision: Bird of Pray, from Ukraine 2025. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ1x2aiL7ks

I know some creators, I think their brains are at another level, either by how they figure out how to reach whatever they had in mind or how they are capable to play with a base until they see a resemblance to something and then turn it into that.

Normal birds: I'm going to fly today.

This bird: It is a good day to ~~die~~ fly!
