All you need to practice one of the oldest art forms in the world is a sheet of paper and a little focus. Origami, which means “to fold paper” in Japanese, is thought to have originated at the same time as paper—around 105 AD. The longevity of the art might have something to do with how simple it is to get started: If you have paper to fold and a desire to make creases, you’re more than halfway there. With a how-to and a bit of patience, origami glory can be yours.
Below you’ll find recommendations for paper, books from origami experts, online tutorials, and more-esoteric inspirational resources that’ll get you on the road to paper-folding greatness.
