The ancient art of paper folding with a modern twist
Origami is the art of folding paper to create beautiful sculptures of animals or objects. No glue or scissors are used at all, only folds on the paper itself. It goes without saying that it can take years to master the art of origami. But instant-origami has developed some clever ways to shorten the learning curve.
Using the power of video, instant-origami gives you a birds eye view of some very modern techniques to this ancient form of paper folding. Here you'll be able to view and create some of the most breathtaking paper sculptures like an octopus, a frog or even the mythical dragon.
We followed the instructions on the site and were very impressed with our own results as they came very close to the one on the video.
So if you've always wanted to try your hand at origami, check out some modern techniques over at instant-origami.

A truly valuable site!
How someone could take such a complex art as origami and simplify it for the common businessman to under and adapt to complex work life is huge accomplishment. I hope to make use of these skills on a day to day basis.

It's simple to do, and it doesn't violate the "classical" rules (no glue/tape/staples or cutting). If you make it out of a sheet of Legal paper, it will be exactly the right size for a CD!
