Step 1Basic Folds

What you want to do is take your A4 paper and fold it in half twice along it's length. Once you've done that unfold it and fold the two outer flaps in towards each other. After that fold the entire piece in half along its width making sure that the loose flaps remain on the outside of the fold.

Works well, not as pretty as yours but considering I've not done anything like this in years it's not bad :) thanks for the guide. I nearly got lost at the 'dog ears' section and also where you make the tiny thick corner folds but considering it's just photo's it's not bad. Very pleased, thanks very much :)

it doesn't work well, it's too heavy for a standard A4 paper sheet

Brilliant! That's all I can say. I love Origami.

I attempted to make one out of 8.5 x 11 paper. I didn't think of A4.

I finally made one out of a regular wire paperclip though.

I think yours is safer than mine. I'm always worried the metal will scratch my iPod.

I hope you post more paper ideas.

Great job!
