Clea Shearer, one of the ladies behind the Nashville-based, full-service home organization company Home Edit, gave us the scoop on the best, simplest way to fold a fitted sheet.
Strip folding is a combination of paper folding and paper weaving. [30] A common example of strip folding is called the Lucky Star, also called Chinese lucky star, dream star, wishing star, or simply origami star. Another common fold is the Moravian Star which is made by strip folding in 3-dimensional design to include 16 spikes. [30]
The paper is folded behind itself, this is normally done by turning the paper over, folding a valley fold and then turning the paper back over again. A thin line shows where a previous fold has creased the paper. A dotted line shows a previous fold that's hidden behind other paper, or sometimes shows a fold that's not yet made.
Origami paper and a traditional origami crane. Origami paper is the paper used for origami, the art of Japanese paper folding.The only real requirement of the folding medium is that it must be able to hold a crease, but should ideally also be thinner than regular paper for convenience when multiple folds over the same small paper area are required (e.g. such as would be the case if creating an ...
Modular origami or unit origami is a multi-stage paper folding technique in which several, or sometimes many, sheets of paper are first folded into individual modules or units and then assembled into an integrated flat shape or three-dimensional structure, usually by inserting flaps into pockets created by the folding process. [3]
The regular paperfolding sequence corresponds to folding a strip of paper consistently in the same direction. If we allow the direction of the fold to vary at each step we obtain a more general class of sequences. Given a binary sequence (f i), we can define a general paperfolding sequence with folding instructions (f i).
Crease pattern for a Miura fold. The parallelograms of this example have 84° and 96° angles. The Miura fold is a rigid fold that has been used to pack large solar panel arrays for space satellites, which have to be folded before deployment. Robert J. Lang has applied rigid origami to the problem of folding a space telescope. [7]
The napkin folding problem is the problem of whether a square or rectangle of paper can be folded so the perimeter of the flat figure is greater than that of the original square. The placement of a point on a curved fold in the pattern may require the solution of elliptic integrals.
