The Invisible Drop
This simple corrugated pattern, folded from a hexagon, reminds me of the waves made by a water droplet falling onto the surface of water.
Corrugations
There is no universally accepted definition of an origami corrugation, but the one I like to use says that a corrugation is an origami model which has just a single layer of paper “in most places”. While not very precise, it gives a good idea of what a corrugation looks and behaves like.
This page lists models of a single type. You might be interested in folding instructions instead.
Candy (CFW 289)
A little-known area of Shuzo Fujimoto’s origami designs are his corrugations. He published several dozen designs, based both on square and triangle grid, lon...
Barnacles
The name of this corrugation comes from the sessile sea organisms it resembles.
Skeleton (4) (CFW 234)
This is one of Shuzo Fujimoto’s designs that include the word skeleton in their names. They are corrugations, aligned into 3D structures that look like inter...
Hex Snake
This snake is just a strip of paper that I cut off the side of an A4 sheet with a hex grid so that an integer even number of grid divisions was left on the r...
Flasher
At one point I thought I’d design an origami flasher. Unsurprisingly, since I went for the simplest possible idea, I ended up with a design which had been in...
Hypar Flasher
This origami flasher snaps into a hyperbolic paraboloid when unfurled. The center is based on a set of twists similar to those used in the Pythagorean Tiling...
Hypar (Hyperbolic Paraboloid) clean fold
The Hypar is usually folded starting from a complete grid, but precreasing it cleanly is rather straightforward. This design is very elegant, so I’m includin...
Cornflower
A simple corrugated cornflower from a hexagon of Tant paper, 12×12×12 grid. I designed this model while on a bicycle tour in 2019 but first made a clean fold...
Arrow Corrugation
In March 2020, shortly after the CfC2 conference, as the pandemic was just taking off, the origami Community for Creators started organizing online origami m...

Miura Ori is probably the best known origami corrugation. While the model is named after Koryo Miura who designed a variant which was later used for folding ...
Miura-Ori (asymmetric)
This is a simple modification of the Miura-Ori, with left and right legs at each vertex being different lengths. I later refolded this model into The Cliff, ...
Mushroom on a Tree Stump
An improvised model, folded without any reference points.
Three Ancient Pyramids
A simple origami corrugation, folded from Canford paper. With the right choice of proportions, this corrugation can be made iso-area.
Ridges Corrugation (32×32 grid)
A larger fold of my Ridges Corrugation, folded from a 32×32 grid. Folded from the big grid, the model curls up more than the 16×16 version and can be used as...
Ridges Corrugation (Citrus Crush paper)
A different fold of Ridges Corrugation. The back-lit view shows how the corrugation folded from a square ends up a rhombic shape.
Monument Valley Corrugation
This is my Monument Valley Corrugation, squeezed inside Predictable Box which I designed for this very purpose. The back side of the corrugation is less inte...
Shark Teeth Corrugation (blue Elephant Hide)
Another fold of Shark Teeth Corrugation, this time from rare blue Elephant Hide paper.
Ridges Corrugation
A new origami corrugation of mine. The model tends to curve slightly but in this case it actually makes it more interesting rather than being an issue. You c...
Chevron Corrugation (UD-UU-DU-DD)
Yet another variant of my Chevron Corrugation.
Chevron Corrugation (UD-DU) from Blue Khepera Paper
A new fold of my UD-DU Chevron Corrugation.
Viper Corrugation
This corrugation is just a single row of molecules from Nest of Vipers Corrugation. This picture shows the opposite side of the corrugation than the former.
Nest of Vipers Corrugation
My new origami corrugation. Since it causes the sheet to curl, I’m thinking about using it for a lampshade or similar object. Different curling patterns can ...
Simple Corrugated Vase
A very simple corrugated vase (just the walls: it doesn’t have a bottom). Looking inside, you see shape resembling the sun.
Corrugation: Shark Teeth
My new iso-area origami corrugation which I called Shark Teeth due to the sharp triangular molecules of which it is composed. Like many other corrugations, t...
Chevron Corrugation (UUDD-DDUU)
Another variant of my Chevron Corrugation.
Golden Jubilee Corrugation
After I designed this corrugation, I learned that Ron Resch had already designed it in the 1960-s, over 50 years ago. That’s a Golden Jubilee for this model....
Heptagonal Star Box (Chevron Corrugation)
This seven-sided star shape can be used as one half of a two-piece box or alone as an ornament. This heptagonal star design is based around my Chevron Corrug...
Chevron Corrugation (UD-DU)
This is a new variant of my Chevron Corrugation. The variant shown here was designed by myself, and, as I later learned, also by others, though with differen...
The Cliff
Origami corrugation, based on an asymmetric zig-zag pattern (actually I folded this model using exactly the same sheet of paper).
Hexagonal Diamond Corrugation
I derived this corrugation from Iso-Area Diamond Corrugation by adding some extra space between the diagonal creases. This changes the appearance of the corr...
At the Mountains of Madness
A free-form origami corrugation folded from a strip of Jet Black Canford Paper. Named after a novella by H.P. Lovecraft. The crooked lines also somewhat rese...
Iso-Area Diamond Corrugation
The original Diamond Corrugation was invented independently by Ilan Garibi and Andrea Russo (who used the name Triangùli in speculo).
Vase Corrugation
Origami corrugation with an outline of a vase. The creases are all visible so there’s no need to even use a CP if you want to reproduce this pattern :)
Picture Frame with Hedgehogs
Origami picture frame with two little hedgehogs on the bottom bar. The frame is based on this design. The hedgehogs are a prototype of what later became Hedg...
Maltese Cross Framed
A single molecule of my Maltese Cross Tessellation, which is closely related to the Cross Pattee Tessellation presented in the Coat of Arms of Rzeszów model....
Modular Picture Frame
A modular version of this picture frame. Folded from 4 units, each from 1:2 paper.
Single-Sheet Picture Frame
Origami picture frame, folded from a single sheet of paper without any cuts or glue. There is a slit going around the inner perimeter of the frame where you ...
Darth Vader Corrugation
This origami mask representing Darth Vader is also a corrugation at the same time (single layer of paper almost everywhere). Very simple: just make an 8×8 gr...
Hugging Triangles Corrugation folded from fabric
My Hugging Triangles Corrugation, executed in fabric-covered paper with aluminum foil backing (three-layer composite material).
Tympanum Corrugation (iso-area)
Iso-area variant of my Tympanum Corrugation. Since both sides are the same, there is no net tension, and the model stays flat without trying to curl up.
Tympanum Corrugation
A new origami design of mine, called Tympanum Corrugation because it resembles the tympanum of a Greek temple. The idea came to me after I designed this dog ...
Doghouse for Yara Yagi’s Dachshund
I like Yara Yagi’s Dachshund very much. I will be teaching this model at this year’s Outdoor Origami Meeting so I thought a nice dog like this deserved a mat...
Dachshund in Doghouse
Yara Yagi’s dog is standing in front of a doghouse designed be me specially to match this model.
Epiphany II
This is my second attempt at designing a Star of Bethlehem (which can also double as a regular comet). After designing it, I found online pictures of a simil...
Epiphany I
Depending on context, this origami corrugation can be used as the Star of Bethlehem or just a standard comet. Designed and folded by me.
Chevron Corrugation (iso-area)
This is a variant of my Chevron Corrugation in which every other row of chevrons is reversed, i.e. pointing down instead of up. This makes the corrugation is...
Chevron Corrugation
Corrugation, designed and folded by me, but later I learned that Daniel Kwan folded this pattern before, inspired by a similar model by Charles Hoberman (det...
Double-Blintzed Bird Base Corrugation
After tessellating the blintzed bird base, a natural next step for me was to double-blintz it. Bird base blintzed two times can be tessellated, and it result...
Blintzed Bird Base Corrugation
This corrugation is exactly what it says on the tin: blintzed bird bases tiled side by side. Large tilings have a slight tendency towards curling, but it can...
Radial Zig-Zag Tessellation
This is a rather obvious variant of the classic Zig Zag Corrugation, so it’s certainly been done by others before. This model was mostly free-folded with onl...
Ruff Corrugation
A very simple design, so it’s probably been invented before. Inspired by Pineapple Tessellation and its variants. Paper aspect ratio of approximately 5:1.
Hugging Triangles Corrugation
At first sight you might see only octagons and squares in this corrugation. But, in my opinion, the interesting part is the small triangles placed pairwise i...
