Beginner trying to fold a dollar dragon - help?

[myr]

Hi everyone,

Although I cannot claim to be new to origami as I grew up in asian learning all the simple crane, boats, box, stars etc, I've never explored beyond them.

I'm trying to find instructions to fold the ryujin using dollar notes. So far I've found the "fantail dragon" using 2 pieces of notes and Jonnycake's "dollar ryujin" which I really really like. Great! Not quite...being the beginner I am, I don't know how to decipher crease patterns.

So I'm trying my luck to see if I can beg someone here to direct me to an instructional video for making the dollar dragons or diagrammed instructions?

Can help pls?

Thank you.

Your best bet might be to start with simple CP's, I'm still learning them myself but with alot of practice you will see how the things work.

Plenty of posts on easy CP's so just have a browse around and see if you can find something easier to start with. Also try and do some reading, i think Eileen Tan's website ( http://spinflipper.com/origami/ ) is very useful for starting with CP's
