This book contains great explanations and well-written instructions. As an absolute beginner, I found it really easy to figure out, and I learned a lot. There were moments when the structure of the book made it confusing, having to flip back and forth for instructions, but it's overall a decent place to start learning about origami.

Origami is a real art form. Folding paper may sound easy, but it requires precision and a lot of different processes which can be difficult to master.

This book sets out all the folds and techniques needed for a beginner learning origami, and a few different designs to practice. It even tells you how to make your own origami paper rather than forking out for expensive pre-made sheets, if you wish.

I like this book because it is easy to use. It has real and clear pictures of what the piece should look like throughout the folding process, so the instructions are easy to follow. It explains each new technique clearly, and there is a handy glossary to help you remember what all the symbols mean.

The designs are interesting and varied, and there is a good range from the most basic to the slightly more advanced. There are also handy tips on how you can use or expand on the designs if you wish.

Origami 101 a good, comprehensive guide for people of all ages interesting in learning the art of origami.

I needed a craft for my girl scout troop to master that would keep a group of girls from 6-13 busy. This book filled the bill beautifully. With easy illustrated steps and on the spot explanations of each step, the girls were able to fill the room with beautiful creations. Their results also inspired them to try the more difficult models at home. Origami celebrates the individuality of each artist while still being a group activity. Thank youu for building some awesome memories for us.

Very nice book. Easy to learn the origami as it starts with simple examples and slowly progresses to advanced one.

I've always wanted to learn how to Origami. I've tried numerous times by watch YouTube videos but have failed miserably.  My cousin has tried to teach me too, but yet again I've still not mastered it properly. I can make a boat and a flapping bird but most of the time the bird doesn’t flap so gave up even trying.

I then saw this book on NetGalley and I was so excited.  this book is brilliant for beginners like me. It starts with the basics of origami and works up to harder projects.  The book has very easy step by step instructions accompanied with very useful pictures.

I will definitely be buying this book for a few of my friends who I know would love this for Christmas.

I really could not wait to review this book because my 12 year old and 9 year old loves to do Origami with me. The instructions on how to do certain  folds helped a lot! I took pictures of what we made on my other device and will add them later. This book has 226 pages and is packed with amazing and fun origami. Here is an example of what you will find in this book and I would buy this book to give as a gift.

I've always loved origami, but haven't done any myself since I was a kid. This book is super easy to follow for even someone with no experience. The book begins with instruction on making practice paper using inexpensive printer/copier paper so the reader/crafter won't need to make a trip to the store for special origami paper to begin. I blew through the beginning designs with no trouble at all following the diagrams and written instructions. Designs get progressively more intricate as you move through the book and more techniques are added. This book would provide hours of fun for nearly any age!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarry books for the opportunity to read and review this fun book! All comments are my own, unbiased opinion.

I liked the format of the book. Instead of starting with all the folding diagrams they are explained in detail as you encounter them. I found this to be an easy structure to follow. However, there were a few times you were flipping to different chapters to do some of the foldings. I know it would be repetitive but I prefer to have it all written out in order for me. Be sure to put bookmarks to make it easier to go to different sections of the book and find what you are looking for.

The book refers to a DVD that is supposed to come with the book. That might be helpful for some. I did not have access to the DVD because it was an advance copy for me to review.

I am a beginner with Origami. I wanted to try it for stress relief. I was concerned my perfectionist qualities would make it a stressful experience. It turned out to be a lot of fun.

Most of the shapes were birds that looked similar or animals. There were 2 different flowers. I would have liked more flower options.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Ever since I took an oragami class in grade school I have been interested in the art of paper folding. This book is great for step by step instructions on how to make the paper for folding and also says it comes with a DVD. The instructions are pretty easy but will take time to get thru all of the patterns. #Origami101 #NetGalley

Great instruction as how to do all the main folds in origami. A good book for beginners. However I was disappointed in some of the 'makes, as they seemed poorly thought out and did not always look much like the title given.

Using just four simple shapes, Origami 101 teaches makers to create 43 different figures from a simple penguin to a human being.

I love the simplicity of Origami 101. Everything is clearly explained. The use of a glow to indicate which part of the paper is moving when folding is brilliant. The step-by-step instructions and the slow increasing of the reader’s skills when following the order of projects within the book ensure everyone’s origami success. 4 stars!

Thanks to the publisher, Quarry, and NetGalley for a copy.

Origami is difficult for me, it always has been. For years I’ve used YouTube instead of written instructions. However, all might change now I have this book. It’s clear, we’ll illustrated and uses simple, step-by-step, instructions. Perfect for any beginner.
