How it works
Unpack, fold, build.
A ORIKIND kit is a box of card sheets that are already cut. Here is what happens between opening the box and the finished animal.
From sheet to object
Three moves. One evening.
No glue, no scissors: everything is already cut and scored, and the double-sided tape is in the box. Only the fun of folding is left.
01 / 03
01
Pop out
Pieces pop out of the sheet with a light press. Each one carries its number on the back.
02
Fold
The lines are already scored. An unmarked line folds towards you, a small Λ away from you. The 3D tutorial shows every fold.
03
Join
A strip of double-sided tape on each tab. Each tab carries the same number as the edge it slides under: just match the pairs.

Tips from the workbench
- The paper
- 240 g card coloured through. It holds its shape and folds cleanly along the creases.
- Popping pieces out
- Pieces are held by thin bridges. Push them gently from the back rather than pulling.
- Pre-folding
- Everything is already creased. Fold each line once dry before gluing: the piece takes its shape.
- Fold symbols
- A small grey Λ on the line: mountain fold, away from you. A line with no mark: valley fold, towards you (older templates still carry a small V). The 3D tutorial shows each fold.
- Tabs
- Each number is printed twice: on a tab and on the edge that takes it. Match the two identical numbers and the tab slides under that edge.
- Tape
- The kit contains pre-cut double-sided tape: lay a strip on the tab, peel off the backing, press for a few seconds. No glue. For a PDF pattern printed at home, a glue stick or your own double-sided tape will do.
- Order
- Follow the guide's steps in order, piece by piece. Close the last piece slowly.
- Finish
- Plain paper is already the finish. A light coat of matt varnish protects from dust if you like.
And the PDF pattern?
If you prefer to print yourself, every animal also exists as an A4 PDF: print at 100% on 160 to 220 g paper, cut along the solid lines, score the folds with a ruler and an empty ballpoint pen. The printed side ends up inside.
