Origami Lesson 2 Recognizing Basic Kite Patterns

There are many basic types in origami, and many origami papers evolve from them. For those who already know how to fold some origami, the basic type may seem too simple.

But there is definitely value in taking the time to look at the evolution of the basic type. You'll find that a small change in the way you fold a piece of paper can turn it into another basic shape. I once folded the letter W and realized that I could change the principle and turn it into the letter V and the letter Y. I discovered the joy of creativity in origami.

There are two types of origami: square origami and rectangular origami, so I'll start with the basic square origami, which is more common.

Kite type

One of the key elements of origami is the crease, so it's important to pay attention to alignment when folding, which also has an impact on the overall beauty of the work. So origami is also an activity that trains fine motor skills and relaxation.

The kite base type is slightly changed into the magic nails.
