Advanced Origami
On this page you can find all of Paper Kawaii’s Advanced or hard level origami tutorials.
Not too hard, but not easy either, you’ll find some fancy boxes, stars and pretty flowers among other things that will take some mental effort here.
A small note, the tutorials posted here are never “too hard”, if you’re willing and patient, most people can fold along. We have never had any origami model with any epic-too-hard-to-make level.
These origami models also include the difficulty rating of “Intermediate to Advanced” origami models. Please view each individual tutorial to see the detailed difficulty level.
