Origami is an art of folding paper into representations of living creatures, inanimate subjects, or decorative, abstract designs. The earliest traces of paper-folding come from Japan. Origami only uses a small number of different folds, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The most well known form is probably the Japanese paper crane.
Origami are amazing handmade paper designs which is now very popular. They are originally made by folding a single sheet of paper without using glue or any sticking material, but now they make cutting of paper for certain designs.
