How to Make an Origami Flipbook
- 1). Fold the paper in half vertically and then fold it in half vertically again. Unfold both folds so the paper is fully open. There will be three vertical creases down the paper.
- 2). Fold the paper in half horizontally and then fold it in half horizontally again. Unfold both folds so the paper is fully open. The paper will have four rows of four squares or rectangles.
- 3). Cut along the crease below the top three boxes. Cut from the left side to the right. Do not cut past the third box. Leave the fourth box connected. Repeat with the third crease, skipping the second.
- 4). Cut the second crease from the right side and toward the left. Cut until you reach the end of the third box, leaving the last one connected. This is the opposite of the cut you made in Step 3.
- 5). Fold the first square at the top over the second square next to it. Fold those squares under the third, and then those over the fourth.
- 6). Fold the squares from the top row over the next square below. Fold the squares over the next square, under the next and over again.
- 7). Continue folding the next two rows the same way.
- 8). Turn each page until you find two that are connected at the top or bottom. Place a small piece of double-sided tape or a dab of glue between the pages. Press the pages together to get the tape or glue to hold. Repeat with the other two pages that are connected this way.
