Learning Origami
Echo Craft and Cosplay DK30 Fall 2020 8 10
Description
My plan is to try to learn origami everyday, I was taught a few when I was younger, and I would like to get back into it with this 30 day project.
Recent Updates
Day 30 + final update:
My reattempt at an origami hydralisk, couldn’t put in as much time as the original so it was a bit rushed unfortunately.

New on the left and old on the right
The final update I will do, at the start I planned to ease myself into learning origami and would attempt ones that I already knew. However, when I received likes and follows, I felt pressured to have some more impressive origami which did derail my original plan. It was stupid of me to even consider this. Despite some of the slightly disappointing looking origamis and a few failures, I did not let that deter me as the community feedback had been great in supporting me.
I felt that doing the DK30 was a great idea as I would not have done this at all, I learned quite a lot and I am proud of what I achieved in 30 days. It was also nice to set a side some time to focus on a task that helped distract me from all the stress and work for the day. I definitely will consider doing the DK30 again.
Day 29:

The 9 did not end up going as well as I thought it would do
Day 28:
My attempt at an origami dragon (2)
Instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUsxMXwCW8A
I bit off more than I can chew for the last origami that I plan to learn. The next 2 days will be me retrying some (not all) of the previous origami that I have attempted to learn.
Day 25:
My reattempt at an origami bird (left) and my attempt at an origami mandarin bird (right)
Instructions (bird): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gni1t1k1uY
Instructions (mandarin bird) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5IupeXm_9E
I tried to recreate the origami bird as much as I could from memory and with as little help from the video as possible, I realised that I missed out on a step (feet).
Day 24:
My attempt at an origami shuriken
I failed to make a kawasaki rose and so I settled to make a shuriken from memory.
Day 21:
My attempt at an origami tulip
