Origami Animals
This page is dedicated to instructions for origami animals. There are many kinds of animals and there are many ways to categorize them. Please be patient because some of the links takes you to another page of links. Diagrams listed here are “easy” or “intermediate”. Instructions for “complex” origami animals and crease patterns are not included because they are beyond the range of this audience. Some models like origami tigers are inherently difficult, there’s no way around that. Click onto the A-B-C tabs to find your animal of choice. Enjoy the instructions and be sure to send us a photo of your newest origami creation.
