About Origami Penguin
Origami Penguin started as a simple idea: make paper folding easy to learn, without hunting through confusing diagrams or sitting through long videos. Our signature penguin tutorial was the first project we published, and it's still the best place for total beginners to start.
Since then, we've grown into a small library of step-by-step tutorials, a beginner's guide covering paper types and folding terminology, and a running blog of tips, history, and buying guides for anyone getting deeper into the hobby.
