Folding paper
Folding paper is the process of creasing or bending a sheet to transform it into different shapes or structures. It involves applying controlled pressure along specific lines, creating folds that can be simple, like in a greeting card, or complex, as in origami. Proper folding maintains the paper’s integrity while forming desired angles and shapes. The technique relies on understanding how paper responds to pressure and how folds can be used for functional purposes or artistic expression. This skill combines precision and an understanding of material properties to achieve accuracy and stability in the final form.
