Thank you so much for this! I'm about to make this for my crush and the instructions seem pretty easy and clear to follow.

[@Jasmin4720]

This was my first origami, and I just made it watching the video. I am so glad it turned out well, because I cursed a lot trying to make this and it was a feat. So worth it though!

[@estebandelafp]

Thanks! I made it as a little gift for my friend

[@ellygreening5616]

Really easy tutorial to follow, with clear and concise instructions and a really sweet tutorialist. I have a question though and that is, seeing as we are making cuts into the paper, wouldn't this be considered kirigami? Thanks very much!

[@OrigamiTree]

Yes, it's kirigami! :-)

[@ckrai4410]

It helped me to make my sister project ☺

[@perlapulidorosas7289]

wow que lindo

[@alexanderhahne6388]

Really good to get your kids entertained for while. But it actually isn't Origami, because you don't use scissors for that. Still a great tutorial!

[@OrigamiTree]

Alexander Hahne It's kirigami - sister of origami, as I say! :-) Thanks so much for watching. I hope you appreciate the paper artwork anyway, hehe.

[@alexanderhahne6388]

Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I wasn't able to read the full title. I've actually done one with my children in red and we struggle a little bit with the eyes.

[@OrigamiTree]

Alexander Hahne That's great that you're making origami with your kids! It helps if you draw in the eyes before poofing it up. Good luck! :)

[@Rhetorical20]

So cool!

[@Cest.Peteur]

are you sure ?

[@chloemonsen356]

this is almost impossible!!!how did you get that crease correct??!!

[@OrigamiTree]

It takes some patience and practice. I think you can definitely do it! Don't know until you try. :-)

[@andy10471]

Excellent design, thank you!

[@cynb05]

I can't keep the tentacles up they keep falling down

[@mathieudrapier-darnoux7463]

Le miens est pas très beau, je ne comprends pas. Je n'ai peut-être pas mis assez de papier. Super video mais dommage que ça ne fonctionne pas.... Mine is not very beautiful, I don't understand. Maybe I didn't put enough paper. Awesome video but It doesn't work at all. Sorry sorry, cute face, cute face, didelidoo

[@slenderman4461]

i made a complete squid

[@OrigamiTree]

Yay! You did it!! :-)

[@NEERAJKUMAR-wp7ks]

It is kirigrami not origrami

[@Mathiasdanfan]

Why is it SO *F**KING HAARD*

[@canary6215]

This isn't origami and its an octopus change the title origami ONLY uses paper and folds NO scissors, tape, glue, etc. ALOUD

[@riaramirez4733]

MicrO Sh4rk G4mer you"re right origami is "FOLDING" paper it dose not involve cutting,gluing,taping and crumpling!

[@ishita6722]

Micr0 Sh4rk G4mer not always ok? CUTTING AND FOLDING ARE THE MAIN STEPS..

[@amitrathee9919]

[@rebekahgizaw8768]

I was NOT blowing into that thing at the center😒

[@OrigamiTree]

🤣

[@isabellng4654]

don't understand how u did it so confusing

[@OrigamiTree]

+Isabell Ng Hi Isabell, I'm sorry you found it confusing. :( Have you tried pausing the video, rewinding, and watching it a couple of times? Sometimes you may need to watch something a couple of times before you get it. Good luck!

[@matteo1769]

This video makes no sense. Also please make it less confusing.

[@prernabagdate83]

It's very hard for my Daughter so make it easier

[@fettuccine1770]

no
