The Origami Forum

Have you ever learned a better way to perform a fold? If so, share it here.
I had been practicing double rabbit-ears using Montroll's one-step method, often with unsatisfactory results. Then I discovered Lang's three-step method: 1) Squash fold the tip of the flap toward you, 2) petal fold the result, 3) fold in half. Now I can get them right every time!

Hi,Hello
I think expression is hard with word,Could you diagrammatize it?

Thanks

I love box pleating!
Practiced with several models.
Currently trying to design my 1st model (Koi Fish) with box pleating

Being quite new to origami myself, I really don't know if I could draw a diagram at all (much less a good one.) You will, however, find it in the introduction to almost any of Lang's books.
(I have to retract my statement about always getting DREs right. I tried a model that called for one on a foot that, by that time, was less than 1/8" wide and half that thick. I couldn't do anything with it, not even a simple reverse fold! )
