Make the folds on a smooth, flat, solid, well-lit surface, like a table illuminated by the sunlight or a lamp. Make sure you feel comfortable in the place you have chosen, because you will spend several minutes or even hours in it;

Clean your hands and dry them well before starting the folds, and every time you feel the paper is getting moist, tearing apart and / or dirty;

Avoid using more expensive papers if you are still a beginner; give preference to scratch sheets, flyers, newspapers, magazines, and other less expensive papers to practice. When you feel confident about the chosen model after practicing it a few times, then you redo it in a beautiful and resistant paper;

If the chosen model has many folds or details, use thinner papers ( but it can't be very thin, because it can tear apart and the folds won't mark rightly, leaving your origami flaccid );

Before you start folding, see if you know all symbology used in the SBS in question, if otherwise, learn about it;

Follow the informed measures correctly if they exist;

Follow the SBS subsequently, without skipping steps or changing them ( unless you want upgrade the origami if you are a veteran );

Reinforce the creases of the folds made, passing a rigid and preferably ellipsoidal object, or use the pulp of one of the fingers and pass over them; it is expressly forbidden to you use your nail for this, because it can ruin the origami or make too strong marks that in the future will appear exposed;

Don't be in a hurry to finish, patience is very important to make an origami, especially if this is your first time, after all patience is one of the abilities of these artists and was assimilated to this art traditionally;

If you get lost in the order of the instructions, please don't despair! Compare what you did with the diagram or video, and if necessary, undo some movements or start over from the beginning. Just don't despair!;

Practice the same model several times. Don't forget practice is what leads to perfection, and eventually, their appearance tends to look better;

If you are tired or unable to follow the step-by-step, regardless of the reason, pause. Don't try to continue stubbornly, cause the result may turn out worse;

Be humble, always. Never brag about yourself or disparage your fellow artists;

Help spread the art of origami by posting your photos on social networks or showing them to your family and friends. Try to be the most spontaneous and creative person when you photographed and present them, because it will be your unique mark in this universe of origami;

Remember: Persistence and patience are crucial when are making an origami. Never forget you are working with millennial concepts; make them worth!
