#origami tutorial

I love origami. When I was a kid, I spent an entire summer working through an origami book I got for my birthday. It was amazing to watch this flimsy piece of paper turn into a beautiful, self-sustaining sculpture.

It gave me a major advantage when I started working with Wonderflex years later. The ideas are the same–you take a flat, moldable plane and turn it into a sturdy three-dimensional object. The benefit is that Wonderflex and Worbla let you create much more complex structures in half the time.

Before you start working with Wonderflex and Worbla, I suggest you do a few really simple origami. It will help you understand the importance of following an outline, using good foundations, and maintaining balance in your project.
