Models with color change


Color-change is a technique in which both sides of the folded sheet are displayed. If the paper has two different colors on the two sides, this can be used for artistic effect and two-colored models folded even from a single sheet.

This page lists folding instructions for models of a single type. You might be interested in the models themselves instead.
