OrigamiUSA formerly The Friends of The Origami Center of America is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt, educational and cultural arts organization which is dedicated to the sharing of paperfolding in America and around the world. There are over 2000 members in 49 states and 19 countries and there are affiliate groups in cities all over the United States and Canada.

OrigamiUSA is headquartered autonomously in New York Citys American Museum of Natural History through the generosity of the Museum Trustees. It is staffed primarily by volunteers and maintains the largest origami library in the world, as well as hundreds of diagrams of unpublished models.

OrigamiUSA holds classes, workshops and an annual convention. It publishes a quarterly magazine, instruction booklets and the Annual Collection (a 300 page compilation of original models), and maintains a lending library which is available to OrigamiUSA members.

OrigamiUSA is an excellent source for origami books and supplies. Its mail-order-only supply center, The Origami Source, located at another address, sells a tremendous variety of origami books, papers, and videos.

Your public library will have a collection of origami books.

International symbols for folding paper

Begin with a square folded in half. Push the lower left corner toward the right so that it lies between the front and back flaps.

Flatten the model so that the large front and back flaps are together.

This procedure is called a reverse fold because a mountain foldthe left edge in this instanceis reversed to become a valley fold.

The reverse fold is notated like this.

Begin with a square sheet of paper. Valley-fold along the diagonal.

Unfold.

The drawings above show how to fold a Waterbomb Base. Begin with a square piece of paper colored side down. Step 1 tells you to valley-fold the paper on the diagonal and shows the direction to make the fold. It is very important when folding the Waterbomb Base to be as precise as you can. The edges of the paper must be lined up exactly. Step 2 shows what the paper looks like when you begin to make the crease. It also tells you to unfold the near flap, returning the paper to its original position.

Valley-fold in half on the diagonal.

Unfold.

Step 3 tells you to make another valley fold and the direction to fold. Step 4 shows the paper after the fold and tells you to unfold the paper again. In later drawings, these two steps of folding and unfolding are included in one step.

Mountain-fold in half.

Unfold.

Steps 5 and 6 tell you to make a mountain fold, show the direction of the motion, and show how to unfold the paper. Notice that when you unfold the paper there is no color.

Mountain-fold in half.

Unfold.

Steps 7 and 8 tell you to make a mountain fold, show the direction of the motion, and show how to unfold the paper. Notice that when you unfold the paper there is no color.

Press down on the center of the paper, then pull the ends of the mountain crease down toward the black dot.

Continue to pull the ends of the mountain crease down toward the black dot.

Step 9 shows all the folds you have made in steps 18 and shows how to pull the left and right edges of the paper downward and together to form a completed Waterbomb Base. Steps 1012 show this process in progress.
