Origami Penguin Folding Addiction

This little trio isn’t the end but merely the beginning. Finding something I can fold all the way through without looking at the book is a great feeling.

Yes, I’m an origami novice. It’s okay; I’m going to be great some day. Entertaining folks is still possible though. Making a miniature penguin during a meeting today kept me awake and got some attention.

Ingredients? take one note posty – fold a handful of times.

I believe the pattern in the book, Teach Yourself Origami, is likely copyright protected. That said, this is an easy pattern.

This really works best with black and white paper of course, but colors really catch the eye.

There are dozens of origami penguin diagrams. Most of them produce more realistic penguins but few of them are easy enough a beginner could do it in a few minutes.

Reverse folds are the strongest technique you’ll need for this one.
