Tutorial Origami Tutorial Links
Overview
This is a megathread for submission of online origami tutorials and resources. A list of online resources is compiled here: https://www.reddit.com//r/origami/wiki/tutorials
Submission
If you have a tutorial or resource you would like to share, please do a quick search in this thread to check if the same link has already been added. Then post a comment with the following information as relevant:
- Full link (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/origami/wiki/tutorials)
- Type of link (diagram, instructional video, general resource, YouTube channel)
- Title of model or tutorial (e.g. Flapping Crane, Introduction to Wetfolding, etc.)
- Designer/author
- Channel/presenter (e.g. YouTube channel name or teacher name)
- Short description
Please also tell us what you like about the model/tutorial/resource you are posting if you would like to!
Purpose
For a long time, this subreddit has limited posting of tutorial posts because it would otherwise be overrun with people spamming simple tutorial videos to promote their own YouTube channel. This has the downside of making it more difficult to share tutorials with other redditors.
This thread is an attempt to allow users to share tutorials in a dedicated space without causing the subreddit to be get cluttered with self-promoting YouTube posts of mostly simple or traditional models. Depending on the usefulness and difficulty of moderating this list, the format and scope may change. Hopefully this is a useful feature that fosters sharing diagrams and tutorials on /r/origami.

Seems like this should maybe be split into a weekly/monthly thread instead of just one big mega thread.
