Tips for Making Dino-gami Models

1. These origami instructions combine step-by-step photographs with text that helps to explain the photos. The photos and text are meant to be read together.

2. Read project instructions through completely before attempting a project. When folding, read the text for each step before folding it so you know how to proceed.

3. Origami generally requires precise folds, but these projects have an extra sculptural element, too. Make the beginning folds as precise as you can, then be prepared to push, press, and sculpt the models into the shape you want.

4. Using tweezers may help you fold through several layers of paper.
