CFC Monthly Challenge

August 2026 ( view all challenges )

Simplicity

Define Simple. 

Now define it in origami.

Our challenge this month is simple models. The criterion is simple (pun intended): no more than 11 steps.

The target audience this month is senior absolute beginners. The idea is to collect models that are so easy to teach, they help break down the barrier of "I can't do it".

Being a senior myself, it's hard to remember how complicated it looks for those who never tried to follow instructions. So, keep it simple!

Any model, new or old, is acceptable. There is no need to add diagrams, but people would be grateful for that. State the number of steps with your submission.

"Repeat steps 2 to 6 on the other side" is NOT considered a step, but five.
