My First Origami Book: 19 Easy & Colorful Projects

 

My First Origami Book is a collection of beginner friendly origami tutorials bundled with 80 sheets of origami paper folded by Rita Foelker. Released 16th Dec 2025 by Dover, it's 248 pages and is available in paperback format.

The tutorials are all accessible and the illustrations and photos are very clear and concise. The difficulty of the projects range from beginner level to slightly more advanced beginner. It should be noted that the actual page count includes the included bundled sheets of origami paper.

At the very beginning of the book are the symbol explanations and the short tutorials for the traditional folds.  This will help complete newbies to be able to follow the later tutorials.  None of the pieces in this book are beyond a keen beginner's abilities with a generous dose of patience and practice. The author/publisher have also included QR code links to video and internet content pages for more in-depth information.

Dover publications has long been a standard bearer for beautifully illustrated well made crafts books.  This one is no exception.  Everything is top notch. This would make a perfect gift for origami-curious beginners. 

Four and a half stars. It would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, home use, or gift giving. 

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
