How to Make Origami Dinosaurs
Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. Its purpose is to represent a shape through geometric patterns. Preferably, this is done with one piece of paper and with no gluing or cutting. It is believed that origami has been around since the 1700s, but it didn't become world famous until the 1960s.
