For some origami models - especially tessellations and box-pleating models - you need to first precrease a square grid. Here are some tips on how to fold them accurately.
+happyfolding.com - enjoy origami online that was so very instructional, I will save it in my folding collection for future reference, usually my grids go all over the place lol I hope after I rewatch this and refold a few grids I get better at it! Thanks a bunch!
wow! this method was so helpful. earlier today I had folded my first flasher big bang in a while, and while it is the best flasher big bang I have ever folded. there are still a couple large deformations in it, and I think they mostly stem from the grid, which was very wonky at times with most of the grid spaces, however, I have already started work on a second flasher. although I have only just finished the grid, is a huge improvement to the previous one, all because I used you're tutorial.
Excellent tips! I have needed to improve my accuracy when folding tessellations, especially making sure that the diagonals split the horizontal intersections precisely. Thank you for the help!!
Thank you Sara for a very helpful video! Some of my tessellations I made were kind of spoilt due to the wrong method of grid creasing but watching this video has fixed that :)
I was working on a Clover Folding model and it came out so warped (Working on 32 by 32 division grid). It’s hard to maintain accuracy with so many folds going in both diagonal and horizontal directions. Wish I’d seen this video earlier lol.
The video explains how - you just need to keep on dividing each section in half. Fold in half paper diagonally and vertically: 2x2, fold in half each column/row: 4x4, fold in half each column/row: 8x8, fold in half each column/row: 16x16, fold in half each column/row: 32x32. Does that help?
There are multiple methods to get a 42-division square grid. I've used different methods myself, but nowadays I'd probably divide into 16/42, divide that by folding in half, and then continue with the remaining 26/42. For the crease at 16/42 I'd use Robert Lang's ReferenceFinder. If there's no nice sequence, I'd check if finding 32/42 has a nicer sequence and go ahead with that instead.
Your video was fast so I wasn’t able to understand much and your voice is not clear and my volume is not that high so.. yeah I have a fe problems but overall a good video.

I need this video! I have watched your videos for years but have never made a tessellation due to my fear of a badly folded grid! Thank you!
And how on earth could someone dislike an instructional video as useful as this one?

Can you fold 24x24 grid
It can also be used for a flasher
Very useful video!
I had difficulties with grids for several years
wow! this method was so helpful. earlier today I had folded my first flasher big bang in a while, and while it is the best flasher big bang I have ever folded. there are still a couple large deformations in it, and I think they mostly stem from the grid, which was very wonky at times with most of the grid spaces, however, I have already started work on a second flasher. although I have only just finished the grid, is a huge improvement to the previous one, all because I used you're tutorial.
I'm glad I could help!
i love your voice Sara and your tutorials are always fantastically useful . More power to your foldyfingers. Bravo!
Thank you so much!
thanks ya i was really looking for making 32 grids for making Origami Gryphon Kade Chans design and your tutorial really helped :)
Wow I didn't think there'd be so much technique to learn in a video on folding a square grids.

I liked the english illustrations in this video very much.

fairfresh Glad I could help! An accurate grid is definitely essential to stunning tessellations.
So helpful!
The simple bear necessities - very useful, thank you!
You're welcome. :)
Thank you for this very interessant tutorial. I use it to try to build the five-four tesselation, it's very useful !
Nicely explained thanks
We'll explained enjoyed it emencieclly. Inspired am going to try.wish me good luck.
Good luck!
Obrigada pelo vídeo!❤🇧🇷
I needed this video
Very helpful. Thanks.

I hope it helps with folding your next square grid without as much warping. :)
Thank you for explaining this. This is amazing
I'm glad I could help. :)
Can I refer your video on my channel?
Any tips on folding an 80 x 80 grid?
I'd probably find 64/80, then fold the 64ths, and the 36th separately.
happyfolding.com - enjoy origami online Thank you! 😄
I'm not sure how to do a 32x32 grid. Can you make another video showing it or describe how to do it?
The video explains how - you just need to keep on dividing each section in half. Fold in half paper diagonally and vertically: 2x2, fold in half each column/row: 4x4, fold in half each column/row: 8x8, fold in half each column/row: 16x16, fold in half each column/row: 32x32. Does that help?
Every even number of strips you make you just fold each strips in half and eventually you get 32 strips.
can u teach me how to fold 40x40 grid.i will fold to make scorpoin origami
Fold into fifths using your favorite method, then fold each fifth into eighths.
where do you buy the paper that you use for origami?
Knivez771 Most of my origami paper I either buy at www.origami-shop.com/, at conventions or at local paper stores.
how can i fold a 48x48 grid
First, divide into 3rds. Then divide each of the thirds into 16ths.
can u make a video on how to make a 24 by grid using paper please
First divide the paper into thirds (see e.g. ua-cam.com/video/07uKsmizwBY/v-deo.html ), then divide each of the 3rds into 8ths. Hope this helps!
Your a genious
I made two grids with this method, and they lined up correctly, but for some reason the next two I made didn't line up.
One common mistake is to line up the wrong crease lines. Perhaps that happened in the two cases where it didn't quite work out?
I can fold a 32*32 hex grid in 27 minutes....By the way, have you seen Ben Parker a.k.a brdparker? He has lightning speed in folding grids.
could you make 42tims 42 gid torture?
