Origami Patterns and Folds

Origami patterns and folds refer to the specific designs and methods used to transform a flat sheet of paper into complex shapes through intentional crease-making. Patterns describe the blueprint or structure, guiding where folds should occur, while folds are the actual creases, flips, or pleats that shape the paper. Different patterns and folds enable the creation of a wide range of forms, from simple cranes to intricate geometric designs. Mastering these techniques involves understanding various fold types and how they connect, allowing for precise, artistic, and often functional paper constructions.
