I used to fold an origami unicorn design by Marc Kirschenbaum. I can't find any instructions on the Modern Internet, but I used to fold it out of gum-wrappers while sitting in class.

The unicorn from the film itself wasn't "true" origami, being a prop consisting of several pieces glued together, but it really popularized the idea of an origami unicorn and a number of the current designs were prompted by it.

Are we losing old websites like that?

I actually was unaware that this warranted a website. When I was young, I had one origami book. I completed it to about 40%; wasn't too bad but was far away from being really good. Origami is quite an art. These days I tend to watch youtube videos more than look at oldschool books but I loved that old handbook. Never folded a unicorn though.

I recently picked up an origami book and started practicing in dull moments. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with phone addiction.

I used to do origami obsessively in my youth, and recently picked it up again while spending time with my nephew. I'll have to give this one a go!

Very Cool

Its not foldable from one paper sheet?

Interesting it starts off the same as a crane

Thank you for sharing, I really enjoy origami and look forward to learning this fold.

Now we need the 1 cut and fold algorithm.

Nice

Where is Bladerunner mentioned?
