The origami models shown here are 2D models. They are easier than 3D models in folding and this is the reason why they are called easy origami models. It is recommended to try these models first and be comfortable with basic folding techniques if you are novice in origami. If you master all these models, you are recommended to work on traditional origami models. Before working on these models, you need to know what valley-fold and mountain-fold are and These two folding techniques are the prerequisite to models. But the most important factor in the beginning stage of origami is having fun in folding. Happy folding!!!
