[Low Intermediate] How to fold a realistic origami 3D Standing Seagull that talks -- from one square no Cutting or taping. I embarked on designing this model while walk along Stinson Beach (CA) and seeing all the seagulls standing around and seeing them fly up in the air all at once. The model evolved over about 30 tries from practically a stick figure, to a full-bodied relatively realistic looking seagull. I also designed a flapping seagull that you can learn how to fold here: youtu.be/KA_hTJFt4NI
I showed this model at one of my birthday party gigs and I asked the kids to guess what it was. Several kids thought it was either a chicken or a duck. So, alternately, I guess we can also present it as a chicken or duck, or even just origami bird!

[Rather Simple] How to fold a Kicking Leg Pop-up Card using pure origami (from a single square no cutting or gluing).
The soccer ball that I kick with the model is just a traditional Waterbomb, and I have a separate tutorial for that here: https://youtu.be/K7LycnvM6Wo
I have a free soccer ball template that you can download and print here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S63c9oZjlkCk8PWaVJeQimNVdlrEqi6Q/view?usp=sharing

![โนโน Henrys Flicker Boomerang and Photo Frame! โนโน Pure Origami #shorts
This is the #shorts version of Henrys Flicker Boomerang. For the full tutorial click here: https://youtu.be/OdFq4BSZAWQ
[Rather Simple] How to fold Henrys Flicker Boomerang and origami Photo Frame which my student, Henry, designed on his own and taught me as part of his tutoring session with me. I really like how the four flaps wrap around the corners of the square and tuck nicely into pockets, making it a good aerodynamic flicker. It also serves as a double sided picture frame, and, with the extra weight of a picture or two, it will probably fly a little better too! When you fold it in half in both directions it spins great on a smooth surface.
One more cool thing about the model is that you can push in the sides of the square to shape the model into a cool-looking container!
Kudos and thanks to Henry for designing and showing me how to fold this simple and awesome origami model. As you see in the video he also did an excellent job demoing the model, including two perfect boomerang flicks and an impressive flick across the room toward his webcam.

![๐ธ Origami Guitar Flicker ๐ธ
[Intermediate] How to fold an Acoustic Guitar Flicker from a single square of paper using pure origami (no cutting, tape or glue). This model was inspired by my origami friend, Billie, who knitted me a pair of colorful socks. She sings and plays guitar, so, as a thank you gift, I designed this guitar to send to her. Im hoping you will consider folding this model to give as a gift to someone special in your life or even to a total stranger, as a random act of kindness. I think it would make a sweet gift for anyone who plays guitar, or even anyone who just plain likes music!
In case you lean more toward electric guitars... Ive gotcha covered! Heres the Electric Guitar Flicker tutorial: https://youtu.be/GYNvqL6RzsM

[Rather Simple] How to fold an origami jumping rabbit! It jumps in a similar manner as the traditional jumping frog, but at least from my experience this bunny jumps higher and farther. Here is the second part https://youtu.be/NT3OKAQ6R8M where I show additional shaping on the legs, snout, ears and back.
