    For those starting with origami, I recommend acquiring a few simple books that teach the fundamental folds, such as valley folds and mountain folds. The emphasis should be on developing hand coordination skills and precision in execution. Taking one's time is crucial, considering the importance of accuracy in following instructions. While some instructional books may lack clarity, I advocate for a multimedia approach, favoring audiovisual learning over strict reliance on written materials. Video tutorials, in my opinion, offer a clearer understanding, but combining them with instructional books can provide a more comprehensive learning experience. Observing someone actually fold the paper in real-time aids in grasping the techniques.

    when it comes to tools for origami, there are specific items available, such as creasing tools, that sometimes come in origami packs. These tools can be used instead of using your fingers to create creases. Personally, I often rely on my hands and fingernails for creasing, finding them sufficient for the task.  For my tutorials, I typically use printer paper as my medium of choice. This is because printer paper is more universally accessible compared to origami paper, which often requires a visit to a store or purchasing a kit. When starting with printer paper, you may need a pair of scissors to trim the edges and make the paper square. I take this approach in my tutorials because I recognize that many people have printer paper readily available. Origami paper, designed specifically for origami, has a thinner consistency than printer paper, making it an excellent option if you have it on hand. However, if origami paper is not accessible, using printer paper is a viable alternative. The beauty of origami lies in its simplicity, transforming a piece of paper into a work of art with minimal materials.
