Origami is the art of paper folding; it has a wide variety of folding styles.
>Valley Fold involves folding the paper by bringing the two adjacent edges together, creating a crease that forms a “V” shape.
>Mountain Fold requires folding the paper by bringing the two adjacent edges away from each other, resulting in a crease that forms an inverted “V” shape.
>Square Fold involves folding the paper in half horizontally or vertically.
>Reverse Fold involves folding a portion of the paper inwards and then unfolding it to create a new fold.
>Sink Fold is used to create concave shapes by tucking a portion of the paper inside the model. It requires manipulating the paper to fold multiple layers inward simultaneously, resulting in a sunken appearance.
>Pleat Fold involves creating multiple parallel accordion-like folds in the paper.
These are just a few examples of the basic folds in origami.
