Origami Penguin

Origami Penguin

For my last blogpost, I tried to make an origami penguin but it also didn’t work out.  The origami penguin was in the beginner section but required two reverse folds. There was only six steps and I was able to reach step four. Step 5, the step that I was stuck on says, “Outside reverse fold. See how the angle of the head affects the penguin” (Montroll 36). The part that made me mess up was the outside reverse fold because the other reverse folds that I did for the swan and fish where inside reverse folds and the outside reverse fold was new to me. Montroll says that you should fold slowly and carefully and to not give up when you fold something for the first time (Montroll 9). I followed his advice and tried to make the penguin several times but I couldn’t understand how I was supposed to make it look like the one in step 6.

Is it difficult for you to learn new folds?
