EXPLANATION OF THE FORMAT USED FOR THE ACCESSIBLE ORIGAMI FILE SERIES

            

I have compiled text-only instructions for a few models thus far, and want to   take

a moment to explain the format and information I have included with each model.

- CREDITS AND RESOURCES

This has been discussed in a previous post.

- PAPER TO BE USED

Most origami models are folded from a true square. Origami paper is available in

various sizes. Usually, the paper is colored or patterned on one side, and white

or plain on the other. However, increasingly rectangular paper is being used for

various models and a few models use other shapes to start with, like paper strips,

triangles or circles.

This topic was also discussed in the post "Making a Square from Rectangular Sheets" previously published.

- Folding level

The "Folding Level" has not been based on anything but my own experience of folding

the model as a blind person and has been applied in a general sense. I have loosely

used the following terms to describe the folding level of a model:

Easy/Beginner; Intermediate; and advanced.

STEPS

- The amount of steps are also indicated for each model since this might be an indication

of the time it will take to fold a model and its complexity, although this may be

highly variable and subjective for each person.

- DESCRIPTION

A very basic description is provided for each model since, without a picture or similar

representation, it is not always apparent what a model is going to look like, etc.

- REMARKS

- The remarks are just some basic ideas on how to use each model. Some of these ideas

I thought of as I was learning to fold various objects while some are my own ideas,

based on my experiences with craft projects as a blind person.

This file series include many easy models, suitable for beginners. Each set of instructions should enable you to fold a model from start to finish.

Full instructions are provided for each model in a step-by-step format and include the explanation of aspects like folding techniques, orientation of the paper, outcomes of folding actions, etc.

However, some intermediate models include an indication of the base used and from which step to

start if you are able to fold the specific base without instructions.

There are currently three volumes that form part of the Accessible Origami File Series. They have recently been updated and revised so are published below for your convenience.
