The Art of Origami
The different paper folding techniques are grouped under the art of Origami. The word, Origami is formed of oru (folding) and kami (paper). Origami is a Japanese art in which the main aim is to create geometric folds of paper to represent a certain object. The simple folding techniques used for creating intricate designs is the specialty of Origami. Most of these designs made with Origami techniques begin with a simple square paper base. More on the square base and other folds can be found below.

Valley Fold

To make a valley fold, the paper should be folded along the vertical, horizontal or diagonal ****. The V-shape attained by the paper is referred to as valley fold.

Rectangular Valley Fold: A square paper is required to make the rectangular valley fold. The first step of the procedure is to roll the bottom half of the paper in a manner that its edges are aligned with edges of the upper half. Edges need to be aligned as accurately as possible. The square-shaped paper should be centered either along its vertical **** or horizontal ****. Corners of the paper should be held flat and tugged slightly in order to make it flat in the middle.

Diagonal Valley Fold: The diagonal folding technique is one of the simplest. In this method, a square-shaped paper is folded along its diagonal **** and divided into two halves. One of the halves of the paper should be rolled and placed in a manner that its edges match with those of the other half. This completes the diagonal fold.

Mountain Fold

The mountain fold is very much similar to the valley fold. The only difference between them is that the former is made in a upside-down manner. A dashed line should be created in order to ease the process of making the fold. A reference crease can be made vertically, horizontally or diagonally along the center of the paper. One of the edges of the paper is folded and aligned with the center.

It is one of the simplest folds to make. Here are the instructions for making a kite base.
