Below are some instructions for some simple origami designs - sometimes called folds or models. The instructions use origami symbols, so first have a look at the Symbols page so that you can follow the instructions. Once you have tried these folds, you may wish to try out some more origami designs. Some instructions are available to view and download from the BOS web-site and other web-sites around the world. See The BOS & other links page.

There are also lots of good origami books available in well-known bookshops or on-line sites. The BOS also has its own book and paper supplies service.
