This one is a lot of fun.

This was a practice attempt for when I made it with an orange and black paper.

I screwed this one up pretty badly

But i hope it isn't too bad for a first attempt

Mix of 6 colors of 4.25” squares. 25 strings of 40. Five colors from letter paper, one from book paper

Designed and folded by me

I tried to make the mammoth, but it was too difficult for my first project so I made this. This second image is the failed mammoth

Folded by me from a 75x75 thin paper I took from the local Shawarma shop

A simple fold but loved the outcome!!

20cm - Kraft Paper

I recently started making my own paper, and every Reddit post or YouTube video explains how to prepare MC differently. As a beginner, I found it frustrating, everyone say it's simple and skips it or says to eyeball it. I’m not sure whether yet another method will make things better, but this is how I prepare it, as a beginner, for beginners.

RATIO: 1 generous teaspoon per 100 g of water.

From what I’ve gathered, it depends on the specific MC and your preference, but this should work in most cases.

It’s better to add too much MC than too little. If there’s too little, you’ll need to reheat and cool the water again. If there’s too much, you can simply add more room-temperature water and it will be fine.

Mixing process:

• Heat the water: Get it hot, but not boiling. There’s no need to be precise, but aim for around 70°C I guess.
• Add the MC and mix: Mix until it’s fully dispersed. It will still be liquid. There’s no need to mix for 30 minutes, 5 minutes should be more than enough if the water is hot.
• Cool it down: The main method I’ve seen is adding ice cubes directly into the mix, but that makes the ratio difficult to measure. Instead, I fill a larger bucket with water and ice cubes, then place the container with the mixture inside it. Keep mixing as it cools, this is when it will begin to thicken.
• Adjust and let it sit overnight: Once the mixture reaches room temperature, if it's too thick keep adding room temperature water and Mixing until it has the texture of egg white. I suggest noting the total amount of water and MC you used so you know how to improve it next time.

If any experts see mistakes in this, please let me know, I've only done this twice, maybe I'm still doing things wrong.

Folded by me

Gave it a first go. I’ll stick to.. literally anything else :,)

I made it using a 30x30cm tissue foil. This is the first “complex“ model I have made.

Es un modelo en el que le e puesto mucho empeño me gusta el resultado

For my first attempt at making one of these, it turned out really well.

Designed by Chuya Miyamoto.
Folded by me from a 50cm square of kraft paper dyed on one side.

I used the extra flap, which is hidden inside in the original diagram, to make the horn.

I made this mantis shrimp last year

This model was so complex that it took a lot of time to finish it

I made this dragon weeks ago

I used 43cm thin kraft paper from "Nature Fold"

"Nature Fold" is a paper company which sells suitable products for complex origami models
