Free Printable Origami Instructions

Some models are easier to fold from a printed template than from photos. Our printables put the crease lines, the folding order and the finished shape on one page, so you can print a sheet, fold along the lines and keep the instructions next to you.

Every printable on this page is free, with no sign-up. Print at 100% (actual size) rather than “fit to page”, or the measurements on the template will be off. Standard printer paper works for paper airplanes and fortune tellers; for boxes, slightly heavier paper holds its shape better.

Each printable links back to its full tutorial with step photos and a video, in case a step on paper is hard to read. Teachers are welcome to print copies for their class.

Printables appear here as soon as they are published.

What printer settings should I use?

Print at 100% or “actual size” so the template keeps its measurements. Turn off “fit to page” or “scale to fit”.
