Hey SFs… here’s an early look at a wacky picture book I’ve got coming out next year. (It’s for younger kids, but I hope you’ll take a look at it when it arrives) Stay tuned for more news… I’ve got a LOT of stuff in the works!!!
Hey SFs! Some of you newer folks may not have read Fake Mustache! It may be hard to find in a store, but try your library!!O
SFs… if you get a chance, this game is a blast! Really great cockpit view of the Death Star run. Warning: I played three times and Missed the exhaust port three times. It’s either really hard or I missed some piece of info about firing my photon torpedoes.
If you ever get to NYC or SF, try to get to a Kinokinuya bookstore. They’re amazing! The one in NYC has some of my books in English and some in Japanese. Also, they got some serious origami action!
SFs! I’m really happy to see so many of you making stookiness this summer!!! Lots of great stuff being uploaded! This Luke by FelixSkywalker really caught my eye. Bold colors and lines. Super clean folds. And digging deep into OY history to use the NW base! Better find his post […]
SFs! Did you hear the big news from ComicCon? More Clone Wars!! Clone Wars and OY go together like blue milk and cookies! Before any talk of an episode 7, Clone Wars was keeping Star Wars awesome and SFs were folding Clones, Ahsokas, Anakins, Mauls, Ventresses and so much more!! […]
Hey SFs!! I’ve got one more signing in Seattle, then San Diego Comic Con, then two in LA. (See graphic below) Hope a few of you make it to ComicCon!! It’s a crazy place! I’ve got a bunch of stuff happening, including some top secret meetings about future projects! I’ll […]
At our book events, Dan Santat and I take turns drawing pictures… and giving them away. Even though The Princess and The Pit Stop is not about Star Wars, if you come to an event there’s a pretty good chance you’ll take home a Star Wars drawing!
Come on out and see us! Still signing and drawing in all OY books, Mighty Chewbacca, etc!
Get a close look at this awesome artwork by Dan Santat!! Hey SFs! In less than a week, the Princess hits shelves and I hit the road with Dan on the Princess tour!!
SFs!!! This is one of my biggest tours EVER!! I hope to see A LOT of you!! Note: this tour is for a picture book, not OY. But I will be signing and drawing in your OY books. (And you probably know a younger kid who needs a copy of […]
SF Forcegami13 made this stoooky game using Scratch. (You SFs all know and love Scratch right?) Play the game here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/228592374
Someone asked me why I wasn’t allowing positive depictions of trump on this site. Turn on the news today and you’ll see why. This isn’t just politics, thisnis kids your age being held in cages, with no idea when or if they will see their parents again. A group of […]
I’m not sure if Emperor Pickletine helped or hurt sales of astronaut ice cream… but it seems like you can buy it almost anywhere these days!
Hey SFs! You know I’m always happy when people buy my books at local, independent bookstores. But that’s not always possible. (My town doesn’t have one) So keep your eyes peeled next time you’re in Target and you might see a The Mighty Chewbacca in the Bookshelf of Bravery. Maybe […]
Hey SFs! We had a fun book launch in Roanoke! Then a great time in Richmond. Then a HUGE day of school visits and a store sugning in Philly. Then a wild time at Poltics and Prose in DC! And then I met SF DarthZackB and other cool folks in […]
We interrupt Mighty Chewbacca Mania — at least I hope there’s mania — for this bulletin from the Superfolders who run the OYEU site: SuperFolder SF_CJ Visit the OY EU today at www.origamichewbacca.wordpress.com Dear SuperFolders Across the Internet, It’s me, SuperFolder CJ, coming back with a new update on what’s […]
If you want your own, come out and see me in person this summer. On June 2, I start the east coast tour of Va, Penn, MD and Dc. (Check my next post for details) Later this summer I’ll be visiting Texas, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego Comic Con, […]
Webmaster Sam, prepare to housesit because I am going on the road!!!! Roanoke-Richmond-Philly-DC-Baltimore-Charlottesville!! (If you don’t live close enough… stay tuned! I’ll be on the road a lot this summer!) Come out, see the show and get all your OY books signed and doodled in … and be one of […]
You know those scary attack dogs that you glimpse in the beginninf of Solo? Well, Chewie gets more than a glimpse in The Mighty Chewbacca in the Forest of Fear! A lot more!!! Because of the secrecy around the movie, I wasn’t able to show you the back cover of […]
You know how Chewie talks in the movies… but how would you write it down? Different authors have had different ideas about this. Mine was: spell it like he says it! So this is how Chewie speaks in The Mighty Chewbacca and the Forest of Fear… (The book designer, Leigh […]
SFs!!!! It’s finally happened! Finally I can start sharing some stuff with you, like the full wrap-around cover (by Awesome Andie Tong) above and the opening: I really really really hope you are going to like this book!!!
SFs!!! I had a blast!!! That’s me and my pal Tony Diterlizzi at the sneak preview! The movie has so much stookiness in it, so we have so much folding to do!!! Can’t say much without spoilers… so just go see it!!! (And buy Mighty Chewbacca while you’re out)
Hey, see those dates behind me? May 25-27? Perfect time to read THE MIGHTY CHEWBACCA, amirite?
Hint: Chewie is a clue. The banana is just breakfast. Another hint: I’m going “solo” Final hint: I had to buy Webmaster Sam a LOT of BBQ potato chips to cover this one.
The fourth main character in The Mighty Chewbacca is Goldie, the Tooka Cat. If you don’t know about Tookas, they are sort of cat/lizard critters that live lots of places in the galaxy, including Coruscant’s dark alleys and scary places. (That’s where Goldie is from.) They can be seen in […]
The Mighty Chewbacca is about Chewie, of course. And it’s about Mayv and a wild Tooka cat. Not to mention a Forest of Fear… But it’s also about the awesome Rebel droid K-2SO! And his crate!! (He’s posing as an innocent cargo droid and then gets stuck having to haul […]
In one week, Solo will hit theaters and The Mighty Chewbacca will hit bookshelves! (That will probably break the bookshelves) It’ll be a busy week for me because I am …. going to New York to see a sneak preview of Solo!!! Woo-hooo! (Webmaster Sam has agreed to stay here […]
Hey SFs! Hope you all are ready to see a movie AND read a book!!! If you think you want to read my new StarWars book, The Mighty Chewbacca in the Forest of Fear, I would REALLLLLY appreciate it if you pre-order it or buy it as soon as you […]
Yes, a real cave not a metaphor cave or even a man cave. Luckily, I had a great guide, a back-up flashlight and a hard hat (I banged my head a lot!) Let me rest up and then I’ll post something origami-ish!
Hey SFs! We’re getting closer and closer to release day for The Mighty Chewbacca and the Forest of Fear! You know Chewie, of course, and probably K-2, the Rebel droid from Rogue One. And you may recognize the Tooka Cat from Clone Wars … or as a relative of the […]
Hey SFs! I am continuing the tradition of posting a new video instructions for this very special day. To celebrate The Mighty Wookiee (coming May 25th) I wanted to make something a little more finger puppet like than the Fortune Wookiee. As I said in the video I’m not exactly […]
Hello Superfolders! First, sorry for the delay getting the Thanos origami up. It posted earlier, but not to the front page. Second, Tom is working on something good for you for May the 4th! Third, please don’t post random Star Wars memes. If you make one yourself that’s hilarious, that’s […]
Hey SFs! I bet we’re going to see a lot of Marvel Origami! And that’s a good thing! (even if the characters are BAD as bad can be!)
Just ONE MONTH until The Mighty Chewbacca comes out on 5/25!! Wow, look at this wild action scene drawn by Andie Tong! This is only part of it, because there is a top secret monster on the other side. (No kidding!) SFs, I packed this book full of Star Wars, […]
Hey SFs!!! Here are the cities I’ll be visiting in June for the Mighty Chewbacca book launch tour! Roanoke Va Richmond Va Philadelphia Pa Baltimore Md Washington DC Charlottesville Va Stay tuned for dates and details!
Much like some of the dungeons in old Zelda games, this Origami Link is overly complicated! 😂
Hey SFs! I’ve been thinking about Rocket and Groot : Keep on Truckin’ a lot lately. It came out a year ago and, I have to admit, did not truck all the way to the top of the bestseller list. But it’s still a book I’m really proud of. I […]
Hey SFs! If you read only one book about a wild robot this year, of course, I’d be very happy if you chose MIGHTY CHEWBACCA starring K-2SO. But if you’ve got time for more, let me HIGHLY recommend THE WILD ROBOT and its brand new sequel THE WILD ROBOT ESCAPES. […]
This is a nice line up of Ep7 characters! I don’t think we’ve featured PurpleDwight1500 before, but if you look through stookiness you’ll see they’ve been busy!
It’s the Season of THE RAT!!! And not just any rat, the rat with a human face!!! I could try to explain all that, but it would be easier if you’d just read the book!
Hey SFs!! My next book, The Mighty Chewbacca, has an entry on Wookieepedia now. Three months from now everybody will run to the movie theater to see Solo, then sprint to the bookstore to buy a book about Han and Chewie’s further adventures! Right? You are going to sprint, right? […]
Hey SFs!! Sam just noticed that we were about to hit 19,000 posts!!! Wow!!! And that’s just on the “new” site. If you count the old site we must be over 20,000! Sure some of them are memes(grrrr) or reposts… but there are so many truly stooky ones out there! […]
K-2 is one of my very favorite new Star Wars characters. In fact, I just wrote a book about an adventure he has with Chewie. But he’s HARD to fold! Cannot figure out how to do it with 1 sheet! This is 4 sheets of paper (but no tape or […]
Howell tells kids he hated the Last Jedi, especially the Porgs. So they fold hundreds of them and hide them all over the classroom. Howell goes nuts!
I enjoy seeing all your submissions and sharing them with Tom! Make sure you are hitting those comments when you see a good one! Since some of you are new here I wanted to review some rules… 1) No faces! We follow strict privacy rules here. Your origami should be […]
Very interesting fold here. Makes a great Minecraft Steve, but could also make a lot of other things. I’m not 100% sure I got the arms right, but I like the result!
Ok, I know January is over — and so is February— but I’m still trying to learn some more of your LEARNUARY submissions. If I haven’t posted yours yet, I’m sorry. Some of them are too hard for me! I’m no expert you know!! Here’s jdubblestuff’s Millenium Falcon. I made […]
This is the kind of book every English teacher should have. Hey why not buy a copy for YOUR English teacher?
SFs!!! You SFs have been making some really stooky stuff! I mean SuperFolder Stookiness has just been AMAZING!!!! I’d be so proud if some of it could be featured in Star Wars Insider magazine!!! Here’s your chance to submit! Please note that she needs to get an email from your […]
Rebels has given us some incredible moments featuring characters from the movies and Clone Wars… But now as the series hurtles to a climax, the Lothal Rebels themselves are the stars. This is some good Star Wars, SFs!!
Isn’t this artwork awesome? The artist is Andie Tong… he lives in Singapore and I’ve never met him. But I want to so he can sign the cover for me!!!
To read about the other books coming out when Solo his theaters in May, visit starwars.com!
SFs!!!!! I’m so glad to finally get to spill the BIG NEWS! I wrote a Star Wars book! Chewie!! K2!! Tooka cats!! And a brand new character that I got to create: Mayv Trillick! It’s coming very soon! (In May) Find out more about my book and some more Star […]
Stay tuned folks! News is about to hit! It won’t appear here first. But as soon as it’s up, Sam will link to it. Then I’ll be ablw to give you some additional info! Seriously, we haven’t had news this big here since Pickletine was announced back in 2013 or […]
Totally top secret right now, but I’ll be able to share the big news in two weeks! How big? Probably the biggest news we’ve had on this site in YEARS! Stay tuned!!!!!! (I can tell you, however, that it is NOT a new OY book.) In the meantime, enjoy this […]
Some very clever tricks by Cammy here! The pleat-to-ear method could be useful for a lot of creatures!
ComicColin’s instrux were awesome! I did all four Turtles! He also video instrux on youtube if you like…
Forcefolder1 has made a super simple Porg… yet it can easily stand up! Nice!! Here’s how it stands:
SF Gryffindorigami made some great Plo Koon instrux here. Sort of a mashup of OY and DP! Looks like it could make a decent Nien Nunb, too!
SF Guillermo kicks off our Learnuary showcase with these nice, clear Inquisitor instrux!
Hey SFs!! A couple comic book artists I admire — The Etherington Brothers— are doing something called Learnuary. They posts tutorials for people like me who want to be better artists. I thought we could do something similar here…. a showcase of instrux! AND I’ll pick some of the best […]
Here it is, the bowl where Kellen wiped out and The Brat yelled “dude, you suck!” I witnessed the whole thing right here at the Blacksburg, Va, skateboard park! And just like in the book, “The Brat” did not appear to be a skater… he was just a brat.
Hey SFs! I’m making a new wallet! Featuring Chewie! I even did the pattern myself with graph paper and a pixel art program.
Lots of characters and creatures to fold! I especially like this pilot! C’ai Threnalli (or something like that)! Anybody you guys are excited to fold? (Answer by actually folding and submitting! 😃)
First, the bad news: there will not be a new OY book in 2018. Maybe someday, folks… Now… the other bad news: I have not been given permission to twll you about the two big projects that will come out! But here are hints: Big book: About 2 characters you […]
I visited my Great Aunt over the holidays. She is 101 years old. Even she has Star Wars stuff!
Forcegami 13 (above) took Yoda and Guillermo (below) and SuperSean20(below below) took Kylo Ren! Only got a few submissions, but I’m guessing more than three of you went to the movie! Hope you liked it as much as I did!
My friend Joseph Wu folded this incredible Porg and was nice enough to let me share it here. Wow!!! Note: no instrux… this is a work of art!
Hey SFs! I don’t know about you but I am planning to take my BBPlate with me when I go to see the Last Jedi and take a photo of it with the movie poster. If you guys will also take your origami to the theater and take a photo […]
Half the internet is making Star Wars snowflakes … and the other half needs to get busy! You can find instrux for various Star Wars characters via google, but this is the only place (I assume)to get a template for a Gizmo flake!
Hey SFs… If you celebrate Christmas you might like to check out this show which was my favorite Christmas special when I was a kid. It’s not too preachy and it’s got three awesome aliens and their robot(?)!!!
Dwight is not exactly me and O’m not exactly Dwight… but we understand each other. So, I can tell you that Dwight loves these chips and will love them forever even though they are probably for a limited time only. Personally, I tried them and wasn’t all that excited. And […]
The used book website Abebooks.com can make your dream come true for cheeep!
I’ve got one of the best jobs in the world and, in a way, you guys are my bosses. You can fire me by not reading my books anymore! I’m really thankful that you’re still reading, folding and submitting! We are about to hit post number 18,000!!!! And that doesn’t […]
Of course, you can use any origami fox pattern to make your own… but this one uses Ye Old EZ Yoda base.
A friend sent me this book from Japan. Some pretty hardcore origami in here, but the author does some amazing stuff! Of course, I saw the potential to make a stormtrooper, but didn’t have the skills to make a proper one. But I sort of like this little guy I […]
Hey SFs! You guys ever seen books by Ed Emberley? He’s a genius at helping people learn to draw by breaking things down into simple shapes. A lot of people have learned to drive all this way and Donna want to become professional illustrators, like myself and my wife Cece […]
Office-cleaning time! So much crazy old stuff, including this sheet where I was trying to learn how to draw Rocket. As bad as the drawing in the books are, you might think I got it on the first try. Nope. And i didn’t get it on any of these tries […]
A young Star Wars fan with cancer wants cards and letters? I bet he’d like to get some origami in those letters! (Star Wars and/or penguins) Here’s the address: Jacob Thompson c/o Maine Medical Center 22 Bramhall Street Portland, ME 04102 USA
I guess jdubblesftuff2 as FoldAMort was so scary no one else wanted to be in the halloween showcase…
Fold it big! Put it on! Get candy! Take photo! Submit with “halloween 2017” in subject!
Just found out that Rocket lives across the street from me. This picture was taken with my trail cam which was tied to a tree. Hey, maybe that was Groot! Note from Webmaster Sam: Tom, that Groot joke was terrible! You’re losing it.
Hey SFs! You’re already working on your origami costumes, right? Right! Pretty good chance I’m going as an Origami Porg! Basically all you have to do is fold BIG! And of course, don’t cut the eye holes while you’re wearing it! Bad idea! Tell your parents it’ll save a ton […]
You knew they were coming and here they are… With instructions! (Big tip of the hat to SF Guillermo and JediFolder2004 who both made their own Porgs before me using a different technique) 2. Fold bottom up, but leave room for the eyes.
So, when SF PrincessElla folded Yodas for one hour for our charity event, her result was … 303! That is a LOT of Yodas in 1 hour! Can her record be broken?
Hey SFs!! This book has 40 chapters and #40 is mine! There are some amazing stories in here!!! (Mine is pretty silly!) Plus… It’s for a great cause!
Great folding, SFs!!!! You actually blasted past the goal! The Yodas have been folded and the donations have been made!! $250 each to 4 groups that are helping in Puerto Rico, Mexico City, Florida and other places! Thank you JC, Cammy, Guillermo, Forceigami13, PrincessElla, Sadiegami,QuigonJack, JJ Fold, JJTheFolder, SunniSkies, FolderFisto1, […]
Four teenagers at a Boston-area library folded 171 Yodas… Putting us just 78 Yodas short of the goal! The next entry could put us over the top! When we hit the goal, you SFs will have raised $1000 for hurricane relief!
SFs! Since several SFs have gotten busy and folded over 250 Origami Yodas, the first $250 donation has been made! OrigamiYoda.com backed the One America Appeal with this donation. But this is just the start! If you SFs keep folding we could go all the way to $1000 to help […]
See post below to be a part of this! Huge thanks to SF Cammy(above), SF JJFold and SF Guillermo(below)!!!
Ok SFs! Here’s the challenge: If you SFs can team up to Fold 1000 Origami Yodas, origamiyoda.com will donate $1,000 to hurricane relief efforts! UPDATE: Above are the first 42, just sent in by SF JJFold! Only 958 to go!!! Here’s how it works: 1) set a timer for one […]
Hey SFs!! ALERT– We just found an alt-right image on the site. Unclear whether it was posted by a Superfolder(I hope not) or a hacker. This site is under constant attack by hackers and they may have gotten through. If you see any sort of alt-right (racist, sexist, homophobic, white […]
Hey Sfs! Above is the the HarveyRelief MegaDoodle as requested by donors we have Pikachu and Rey and they’re playing a video game and the game is: “Super Smoosh Weirdos– Giant Mountain vs. Bossk with Tom vs. Darth Vader.” If your request is missing, drop Sam another submission with HARVEY […]
Worried about the SFs (and others) in the path of Irma. I’ve met so many awesome kids in Florida and the Cayman Islands in book tours… We’re all hoping you get through this and we’ll be holding another fundraiser soon!
Hello SFs! Two ways we’re going to use the Force AND the Folds AND a MegaDoodle to raise money to help rebuild after Hurricane Harvey. (You’re probably going to need an adult’s help to complete the donation process online) First: an auction to win an origami puppet made by me […]
SFs, these floods in Texas are frightening and the damage they’ll leave behind will be heartbreaking. Houston-area SFs won’t be checking this site for a long time — they’ll be dealing with much more important things — but we can keep them in our thoughts right now and see how […]
If Dwight knew these were for sale at the Dollar store, he might actually eat one. Or many. Ps I bought this to photograph but did NOT eat it! Gross! Of course, while I was at the Dollar store I bought some Star Wars cards!
SF K2SOrigami made an origami HF Happytooth from Rocket and Groot books 1 and (spoiler alert) 2! I’m super proud of this character and am so happy someone immortalized him in origami!
EmperorPickletine10 has created a masterpiece! Count Orlok from the b&w horror movie Nosferatu. If you’ll excuse me, i’m going to go hide somewhere.
Even better than I remembered! I just wish K-2SO was easier to fold! He makes a great Lego droid though! (Not a commercial! I just think it’s a great set!)
Hey SFs! Meet Polly. She’s a stray cat who showed up at our house about to have kittens! Now she and the kittens have taken over my office.
Have you SFs seen this? It’s put out by my publisher, but I didn’t have anything to do with it … Other than buying myself a copy!!
Hey SFs! I just got back from Brickfest and Washington DC. It was awesome and as you can imagine there was a lot of Star Wars stuff on display. One of the highlights was this incredible gigantic version of the medical forget from the end of Empire strikes back and […]
If you watch Rebels, maybe you love Loth-Cats as much as I do! They’re easy to make! Start with a 5-fold Yoda. Bend the ears up. Find a flap to make a tail, then fold the bottom back so they can stand up! Mrowr!!!
I usually try not to feature the same person twice, but…. SF Jishua has hit 100 Ewoks! All different, all awesome! Most impressive!!
Hey SFs!!! I’m really excited today because for the first time in a long time, I was actually typing words for a book! Yes, I dragged out my PC (above) and fired up the word processor. And then I had to see if I remembered how to write. (Note: despite […]
Yes, Harvey, there is a Johnny Appleseed! Ps: this only makes sense if you’ve read Pickletine.
Hey SFs!! You may have heard about this book before, but you may not have seen this beautiful cover yet! The book is NOT out yet! But it is available to pre-order. I’m so happy to have written one of the 40 stories for this book! A real honor to […]
Hey SFs! Look at this picture! Can you find me? Recognize any other authors? Answers are below… We all got together for a book called “Our Story Begins” and shared some of the stuff we wrote when we were your age. Mine may be the worst of all of them!!! […]
The Muppets Take Manhattan! (awesome origami by JediWookieeDude) My publisher has just moved to BROADWAY! (A long way from Times Square, actually much closer to the Freedom Tower) Anyway: If you’re planning to write me a letter do NOT use the address found in the books! Use this one: Tom […]
Hey SFs!!! Turns out we missed a bunch of your Videogame submissions! Including OrigamiWookiee16’s Mario, above! Why? Because if it was labeled “video game” instead of “videogame” it didn’t turn up in Sam’s search results. The good news is… he found them AND they’re awesome!
Hey SFs! Hard to believe, but it’s the 5th anniversary of the OY Expanded Universe! Head on over and join the Superfolder Celebration!
Things are getting back to normal here, but we’ve still got one big technical problem. Until then I’m updating the site with my phone while Webmaster Sam crawls around in the sub-basement splicing wires. Stookiness is running, so don’t miss out on the latest SF creations and don’t stop submitting. […]
When SF Jishua started posted Daily Ewoks, I thought they were awesome, but didn’t expect more than a week’s worth. But they just keep coming! There are now more than 50! If Jishua hits 100, he’ll be a shoo in for a seat on the Jedi Council of SuperFolders! Up […]
Hey SFs!!! Great folding! It was really fun seeing what videogames you youngsters picked! I was glad that LobsterBisque folded one of my absolute favorites: Donkey Kong Country! I was seriously hooked on those games back in the day! Webmaster Sam, of course, is a Pokemon maniac. In fact, he […]
The awesome picture above (made by SF OYITLeaderJake) is exactly the opposite of what you should do for this showcase! Don’t put Origami into a Videogame; put a Videogame in your Origami! Fold any character from any game. Submit it with “videogame” in the title. And do it FAST!!! The […]
Hey SFs!!!! I am back from my trip to Ireland and England! Met a TON of cool kids over there that dig Rocket and Groot! I also saw, but did not meet, Warwick Davis at London ComicCon!!!! Then on the flight home, I played Legend of Zelda for about 6 […]
Hey SFs! I’ve been really into retro videogames lately: Mario, Donkey Kong Country, Zelda, etc… So I thought it would be fun to make that the next Showcase! Fold anybody from any game you want and submit it with “videogame” in the title by June 3. Have fun!
Have you guys seen these bags of Doritos featuring the Guardians of the Galaxy? I would have been glad to let them use the gag from Rocket and Groot 1: “Guardians of the Nacho Cheez” … in return for a lifetime supply of chips for Webmaster Sam! (No, that would […]
If you only read one Guardians of the Galaxy book this year… you know which one to pick! (Or go ahead and read all three, I ain’t stopping you!)
Hey SFs… especially SFs in the UK! I’m headed your way! I’ll be doing school visits in Ireland and England, then heading for MCM Comic Con in London!!! It would be so cool to meet SuperFolders from the UK! By the way… as with most of my trips, Webmaster Sam […]
That’s Origami Dave Filoni up there by YodaGetty! Filoni’s two shows, Clone Wars and Rebels, have really kept us all inspired for years… and this showcase is to say thanks! (Of course, there are hundreds more examples already posted on the site!) SFs, I have to say that I think […]
Hey SFs!!! It’s Star Wars day! Sam is working on the Showcase and it should be up soon. Here’s what I’ve been working on: Instructions for folding Origami Hera! Have fun!
SFs! This year’s MayThe4th Showcase is a tribute to Dave Filoni, creative powerhouse behind both Clone Wars and Rebels. So fold any character from either of those shows and SUBMIT it! Soon!!! (Make sure your submission has “may the 4th showcase” in the title!) NickTheJedi’s fantastic origami version of Fives, […]
Hey SFs! May the 4th is coming up soon! I’ve made video instructions for a new character, but the big event that day will be an Origami Showcase featuring YOUR artwork! The theme of this showcase: A Tribute to Dave Filoni! Filoni is the guy behind both The Clone Wars […]
Hey SFs! Yesterday I filmed these instructions for Origami Spock AND for this year’s May the 4th Star Wars Day Character… who will it be? Here’s a hint: you can see part of him/her in the photo! Stay tuned! And fold Spock while you’re waiting…
Hey SFs! Here’s a blast from the past! Some of you were still in diapers when my first book came out on (I think) April 10, 2007. The book was called The Qwikpick Adventure Society and the author’s name was Sam Riddleburger. (That was just me, of course.(No relation to […]
Have you ever wondered why there’s acdrawing in Jabba of Nick the Interrupting Cheeto? Well, I was on a book tour and a cool kid named Nick somehow convinced me to add it to the book. (Stuff like that used to happen during the wild and wooly days of writing […]
Hey SFs!!! I’m right in the middle of the Rocket and Groot: Keep on Truckin Tour! I’ve done New York and Houston. I’m on my way to St Louis, SF and LA! That squashed photo at the bottom Is me visiting Marvel for an interview. (I’m holding my first Marvel […]
This is so cool that I’m giving EliFolder and A+ even though he used the worst picture of me on the internet!
Today’s the BIG day! Rocket and Groot 2: Keep on Truckin’ is now ready for you to read. But are YOU ready for it? It’s absolutely crazy! Rocket, Groot and Veronica land on a planet where all the cars are self-driving cars… that have gone insane!!! Thousands of vehicles — […]
Hey SFs… I was cleaning up a bit the other day and found some stuff I thought you might be interested in. Up top is the eraser used for Art2D2! Here is a scratch-n-sniff pickle-scented sticker of Emperor Pickletine. And this page of scribbles appears to be notes for Jabba […]
Some people tell me they’ve read all my books… but not many have seen this one from the golden age of Big 18-Wheel Trucks and CB Radio! Of course, this is just an April Fool’s Joke… I created these fake pages for Rocket and Groot 2: Keep on Truckin’! But […]
HEY SFs!!! I am so excited about KEEP ON TRUCKIN! coming out AND about having a chance to tour the country coast-to-coast and meet as many of you as possible!!!!!! As always, when I’m on tour Webmaster Sam will be house-sitting, dog-sitting, eating my snacks and probably not updating the […]
SFs…. I took a little Spring Break recently and visited some vending machines*. Take a look at the pictures. Do you know what famous event happened here at the “Prairie Outpost?” *I guess they got rid of the machine that sold snacks…
Hey SFs! Sorry for not posting for a bit there, I was at the Virginia book festival with my friend and fellow Disney author, John Claude Bemis. John is a lot of fun and has a huge imagination. His book Out of Abaton: The Wooden Prince is sort of like […]
Hey SFs!!! IF you feel like it, you can go vote for Fuzzy by clicking this link. Or you can click that link and vote for a different book. I hope some of you have read Fuzzy. It’s a little different, so you may want to skim the first chapter […]
Spotted Zelda and Link by JJ The Folder in the Stookiness and wanted to make sure everyone saw them!
Holy Frittatas!!!!! Can you believe we’ve hit 16k?!??!?!!!! That is a LOT of origami! (Okay, so we know some of the 16k are memes (grrrr) and duplicate posts (ahem) but still!) To test out the awesome depth of the Stookiness Vault, go over to the search box and type just […]
Rumor had it that Clone Wars was going off NetFlix. But now it looks like it’s staying! For some of you younger folks, it will be hard to understand how important Clone Wars was, especially to OrigamiYoda..com and the Origami Yoda series. At a time when there were no new […]
No, seriously, LOOK OUT! They’re terrible drivers!!!
It’s about time! – Webmaster Sam SLYarch: I was wondering if I could do something like this? TOM: You just did! Oh, you mean write a whole book? YES, go for it! Guillermo: Well, i mean, its really cool if they are getting Rocket and Groot 2 in cartoon texture, […]
Just received this shot from the translator! It’s been excited to see Origami Yoda published in different countries, but, for obvious reasons, Japan is particularly exciting! I wish I could go on a book tour there and invite Kawahata to an event and have everyone give him a standing ovation!
Stéphane Gigandet at origami.plus tweeted me about a new Yoda… it’s awesome! I haven’t tried to fold one, but if you want to make one, the video instructions are here.
Hey SFs! Check out the covers for Rocket and Groot 1 & 2! Marvel artists took my drawings and transmorphified them into there cartoon-tastic covers! Also, you’ll notice that the covers say Guardians of the Galaxy now, so that fans of the movies will grab them up. (We hope!) You […]
Hey SFs!!! I’m back with more minidoodles where I draw whatever crazy stuff you guys think up! I decided to do some of them as VS doodles, where two of your ideas battle it out! But first, here’s a request for a dragon done as a VERY VERY VERY MINI […]
Hey SFs! Print and give the Rocket Raccoon Valentine above to let people know your true feelings! here are some other options…
Congratulations, DZB! I hope this task was enlightening!
Hey SFs! Here are 3 more of your requests… with a bit of color. I forgot to write the titles on them, so…. can you figure out which is which? (I hope so, or else I’m even worse than I thought.) A) Dipper and Bill Cypher fighting with lightsabers. B) […]
Hey Sfs! One of the doodle requests was for Mabel knitting a sweater. I drew it once and it looked like this: I thought that was ok, but sometimes I feel like I do better when I go FASTER, like in the old days when we were doing LIVE MegaDoodles. […]
SFs… Wow, your ideas are INSANE!!!!!! I love them! Instead of trying to cram a bunch into one picture, I think I’m going to draw a bunch individually. Here’s the first batch! Here are the other ideas submitted. If you see one you REALLY want me to draw. Go vote […]
Dear SFs… A lot of people have asked me to continue the story of Origami Yoda. Maybe I will someday. Right now I just want you to imagine this chapter: Murky’s mom returns to her home country because her father is sick. When she tries to come back into the […]
Hey SFs! That thing up there is a MegaDoodle, the sort of thing we used to do on this site when commenting was allowed. I miss the Megadoodle! So, let’s make a new one! We’re going to use a poll form to avoid the commenting problems. If you’ve never been […]
Hey SFs! If you haven’t heard…. the title for 8 has been announced! Exciting news! But very cryptic! As some people have pointed out, we don’t know if Jedi is singular or plural here! As for me, I was busy trying to think of the book title I could make […]
HEY SFS…. Here’s the news: 1) Stookiness continues to be really stooky! Make sure you’re checking it to see what the other SFs are doing! For example, check out this Cover Yoda by Francis 64: 2) Inspector Flytrap 3 has launched. I made the silly poster for it above based […]
There it is, folks. The big stack! That’s what I’ve accomplished so far. Has anyone read all of them? Can anyone even name all of them? A few notes: Crankee Doodle is missing from the picture. The bottom “book” doesn’t count since it’s blank origami paper. Useful for folding stuff, […]
Wow, this post in Stookiness really caught my eye! Great origami and with a nice background! Well done, SF JJ Banyan! PS He’s got another one up of Wicket meeting Leia. Check it out….
HEY SFs! Really proud of this book, the grand finale to the Inspector Flytrap series. Cece just hit a grandslam with the artwork here. Wow, she’s good! And I was pleased with how the whole story wrapped up nicely, completing the story begun in books 1 and 2. Plus: EPIC […]
Hey SFs! Welcome to 2017! The good news: You guys are amazing and keep posting amazing stuff! Like that Grievous up top by SF PaperLuigi. Wow! And now that the wait time is reduced, everybody else will get to see your great stuff on the STOOKINESS pages about a week […]
SFs… We are all mourning the loss of Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds. Princess Leia has been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. She was an antidote to the helpless heroines in way too many other movies. Leia, like so many […]
No matter what your religion, country, creed, leaf-type or planet of origin, this is that special time of year when we can all join hands(or branches) and say “I am Groot” and really mean it!
Hey, SFs, want to put something weird on the tree? Print out this template, cut out the square and fold a water bomb…. it’s an almost istant tree ornament featuring Donny and Marie Osmond! You can listen to them sing while you make it…
So when I was a kid — a long time ago in a TV room far far away — I just happened to see this far out Christmas show called Cosmic Christmas one year. And I never forgot it, even though I don’t think I ever saw it again… until […]
SFs, Mr. Schell’s class checks in every year about this time! These second graders are awesome! AND, as you can see, he’s clearly a double-awesome teacher!
Hey SFs! I’ve finally made decent video instructions for a Santa puppet! Hope you try it!
The petition seems to be working! There’s a new trailer for The School Awakens from the OYEU gang! The Evil Jawa tells me they’re going to try to finish the film before the end of the school year…. when JC graduates HIGH SCHOOL and is lost to …. the GROWN-UP […]
Some people are satisfied with a new Star Wars movie coming out this year. But others dreamed of something more… The Triumphant Return and Epic Finale of Origami Yoda: The Series. The SFs who made this movie are now high schoolers and have got all sorts of projects going, but […]
What more can I say? SF Isabella needs to fold an origami mic so she can drop it!
The SFs came through with MORE awesome posters and even a comic! The one above is by SF Origamaster! If you want to make one, too, just submit it with the word SHOWCASE in the title!
See if you can follow this: A SF called Origami Dipper Pines made an Origami Dipper Pines. And it’s awesome! He also made Mabel, as you can see. And check out his stooky BBPLATE below!
Above: By Obi John Kenobi SFs! I’m so proud of you! These posters are great! I hope many more of you will make your own, too. I think the posters can do other people good, but I also think you will feel good making your own. I know I did! […]
SFs, you have probably heard the terrible news that because of the election, a few (but TOO MANY) students are bullying other students who are minorities. They are chanting “Build the Wall,” “Heil Hitler” and other stupid things. They are saying and scrawling stupid things, too. And they are hurting […]
Hello SFs, as you know, I have tried to keep politics off this site. But the whole world just changed and there’s something I’d like to say about it. It’s not as nice as it was before. Don’t worry, I’m not going to talk about Trump’s ability to be president […]
Hey SFs! Hope you had a great Halloween! From the looks of these costumes, some of you really rocked it! Hey look, there’s me and Cece as Ookla and Thundarr the Barbarian!
Hey SFs! If you have made your costume but haven’t submitted it yet: stop reading and submit it (with the word Halloween in the title) If you haven’t made a costume… here’s an idea for a really fast fix: BAGAGAMI! Get a paper bag. Get a character. I picked: Ookla […]
SFs, STOOKINESS is not only FRESHER than ever, it’s also Fizzpopping right now! Sam is posting brand new origami about twice a week, so make sure you keep an eye on it. Otherwise, you might miss stuff like Danzilla’s Rocket Raccoon, above! IMPORTANT: Don’t forget that Sam is going to […]
Our next showcase will be for Halloween Costumes and Pumpkins! Anything even vaguely connected to Star Wars, Rocket and Groot, Inspector Flytrap, etc… counts! Don’t ask, just make it, photo it and send it in!!!!! (Make sure the TITLE has the word HALLOWEEN in it!) Folding your own costume is […]
I’ve written a LOT of books! Seven of them are about Origami Yoda (and friends), but there are lots more and I hope you’ll give them a try. I’ve grouped them by AGE RANGE here, but I hope you won’t ever think you’re too old to have fun with Flytrap […]
Hey SFs! So much great stuff in the latest batch of SuperFolder Stookiness posts, including this awesome Han Foldo by SF Guaton! (Great folding AND great photo! These finger puppets often look best when actually on your finger, especially in good lighting!) Keep ’em coming! Trying to get Sam to […]
I’m so excited about Halloween coming up!!! I love seeing what you guys come up with! Like JJTheFolder who made the amazing Cad Bane costume above! See? Totally stookiness! In case you don’t have Art2D2, here are Kellen’s instrux for folding a costume… go for it! Don’t submit them just […]
Wow, SFs, if you go to SF Stookiness right now, you will see awesome origami that was submitted as recently as YESTERDAY! Not 2 weeks ago, not two months ago, YESTERDAY!!! I am loving this new system!!! Webmaster Sam is a bit grouchy about it and is, of course, asking […]
WHEW!!! That was wild! I am so glad we did it! All that origami!! Just incredible. If you haven’t been following Stooktember, click on SuperFolder Stookiness and just keep clicking and scrolling and check out the HUNDREDS of new posts! One of my favorites is the ONE PIECE Van Jahnke […]
This has been a wild ride!!! Looking at 100 (or so) pictures of Star Wars origami everyday has been a ton of fun for me and Sam! Especially when a single photo has 100 origami figures in it, like OrigamiRJs pic above! SO, click on SUPERFOLDER STOOKINESS and scroll and […]
WOW! Posting 100 (or so) posts a day means that Sam and I are seeing an insane amount of Stookiness every day!!!! So much greatness!!! I am so amazed by you SFs!!!!! If you’re not keeping up with STOOKTEMBER, then you are missing stuff like Creepster567’s Cantina Hammerhead! (Now know […]
Hey SFs! I hope you are enjoying this, I know I am!!! 100 (or so) new posts EVERY DAY during Stooktember… like this fantastic cover Yoda from SF SonOfDarthPaper! Even though the Origami is being posted at LIGHTSPEED it will still be searchable using the search box in the future. […]
IT’S finally happening! Stooktember means 100+ posts every day… unless Webmaster Sam is trapped in the toilet (again) or something! The plan here is to UPLOAD the whole enormous backlog of STOOKINESS posts and then start over! Hopefully, the result will be the chance to send in your origami and […]
Hey Sfs! I’m back from the FUZZY AND FLYTRAP tour! Starting at the top, left photo, you can see that I: *Ran into another person who makes his living with a Yoda puppet! *Saw the Spanish versions of the books in a store for the first time in Florida! *Taught […]
Hey SFs! Webmaster Sam has started eating my chips… that can only mean one thing. It’s time for me to go on a booktour, while Webmaster Sam housesits, eats chips and hopefully updates the Website! If you’re in Florida or Georgia, I’d love for you to come to one of […]
The Halloween Costume Showcase is one of my favorite things we do around here! Basically, you just fold something REALLY BIG and put it on! Here’s how 8BB describes his ChewBAGga costume, above: Chewbagga is really special to me. The way you make him is to get a cardboard bag, […]
I love that Rogue One is going to have an Imperial Astromech that looks just like R2! To fold him, just start with black paper and use your favorite R2 folding pattern. Maybe this one from the book, Art2-D2: (PS: The book also has some black paper in it!)
FUZZY is out NOW!!!! I’m very happy that Fuzzy received a Starred Review from Kirkus! And we’ve had some nice reviews from other places, too! This is my newest book and one that I am really excited about. I wrote it with a science fiction author named, Paul Dellinger, and […]
SuperFolder Emperorewok asked: I read all 3 of the Qwikpick papers series but now I need to know if they are real. Did you actually find papers written by the characters? Is this partly a true story and you just added more detail? Please answer! I can’t rest until I […]
Hey SFs… The museum exhibit turned out to be pretty hard to photograph, so I never posted about it. So, when the box of origami came back to me, I thought I’d make a video of me going through it. You’ll Cover Yoda, Emperor Pickletine (with mummified pickle), Art2d2 and […]
SFs, you’ve probably heard by now that Kenny Baker just passed away. Not only was he Artoo-Detoo, he was also Fidgit in another of my favorite movies, Time Bandits. SF Isabella made this incredible kirigami version of an Art2d2 with removable dome and Kenny inside. It’s basically a paper version […]
Hello SFs, this is Webmaster Sam. This is a longish post, but if you are interested in the future of this site, please read it all. As you know, there is a two month OR MORE wait to get your submissions posted on SF Stookiness. Tom and I were talking […]
Hey SFs!!! I’m excited to tell you about these new books that I wrote and Cece Bell illustrated (and made cool comics for). Inspector Flytrap is a plant who wants to be the World’s Greatest Detective. His assistant Nina pushes him around on a skateboard so he can solve crimes. […]
SF KatieFromIreland folded an origami El Deafo and… just look at how clever it is! I wish I’d thought of making one this way!!
First of all… how cool is this Origami Rocket by SF Banthamot? (Answer: Monsterly Cool times 3.14) Thank you to EVERYONE who has read Rocket and Groot Stranded on Planet Stripmall!!! It looks like it’s going to be coming out in FRENCH! Meanwhile, I’ve finished writing and illustrating book 2 […]
Hey SFs… You may or may not know that in addition to Star Wars and origami, I also like stuff like good old fashioned monsters. Recently, I decided to draw all the monsters from the old Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual. It’s around 300 monsters! (Note: The manual lists many […]
Sorry for the VERY obvious Who You Gonna Fold pun, but … The new Ghostbusters movie may not be appropriate for all of you SFs… but when you’re old enough you’ll find lots of funny stuff and some pretty awesome action! It’s hard to believe some internet trolls didn’t think […]
Hey SFs…. Some of you may have seen my book Fake Mustache which is about a kid with a Fake Mustache trying to become president …. and take over the world! MWA HA HA! 8 years ago, the books was inspired by two main things: 1. Glenn’s Fair Price Store […]
Howdy SFs… SlyArch has been busy!!! He tells me he completed the 1,000 Yoda challenge, but the pictures are of what he’s been doing SINCE then! Some of these use what he calls the SlyArch Base. I haven’t quite got it figured out yet, but his results speak for themselves… […]
SFs… Our country is going through a rough time and it’s hard for me to know what to say. But I have to say something. We have a rule to keep politics off of this site, but this shouldn’t be political. Three words — Black Lives Matter — that are […]
HI SFs! No, I’m not really a professor, but right now I’m a “writer in residence” at Hollins University. This means I stay on campus, give a couple of “lectures,” and most importantly meet with students about the books they are writing. The museum exhibit I’ve mentioned before is also […]
First of all, SF abadfoldingaboutthis has a great name! Second of all, just check out these stooky WAMPA instrux!
I’m just back from the Ann Arbor Comics Arts Fest — which was a lot of fun! I held a workshop that was half drawing crazy Rocket and Groot pictures and half folding Star Wars origami. Hopefully there is a picture up top of me holding a big handful of […]
SF ReturnOfTheCheeto1 inspired this post with his wacky mashup of Veronica the Tape Dispenser and Gizmo the Annoying Singing Calculator! So then I went looking for some other mashups and found these by CJ and PsychoFolder! Stooky!
I can’t read Japanese, but I think I know what this squirrel is saying… And I can take a guess at DODO and NO DODO:
It looks like my favorite movie-makers are at it again! If you haven’t seen Origami Yoda: The Series before …. Back in the days when OrigamiYoda.com allowed comments, these SuperFolders got together and started making videos over the internet. They would film their parts, email them in and edit them […]
Hey SFs! I have been crazy busy working on Rocket and Groot 2. I’ve also had some fun digging deep into my origami stashes to put together pieces for an exhibit that Cece and I will be part of later this summer at Hollins University in Roanoke, VA. You can […]
Great drawing of Rocket here, but look close and you’ll see that Ryan864 has his own Veronica, the Super-Intelligent Tape Dispenser! STOOKY!!! Speaking of Rocket and Groot… you guys found the big OY Easter Egg in there?
Hey SFs! A new SuperFolder, SF TendauBendon3, has made a new design that really impressed me! And then he sent in instructions! I’ll let the SF tell you about it: Hello i just joined my name is tendaubendon3 Tendau Bendon is a male Ithorian senater. He supported chancellor Valorum. A […]
This is our first ever Surprise Showcase! Since we have a too big waiting list (two months) I asked Webmaster Sam to find as many troopers as he could for a surprise showcase! So, from Clones to First Orders… here are some STOOKY Stormtroopers. (No snottroopers, tho)
Wow! Very ROCKETY!!! Thanks for helping me celebrate my new book by drawing Rocket! Hopefully my boss at Marvel/Disney won’t see this, since most of you draw better than I do… And the winner- chosen randomly – is STOOKYWAFFLES! And Eggman, since I used yours as the featured image, you’ll […]
Hey SFs!!! A lot of folks online are doing this grid thing called ArtVsArtist, so I thought I’d try it to. You guys know all these characters, right? Except maybe not my old comic book character, Sawfish Larry. Here’s some news: 1) I just got back from an event at […]
At last! The origami battle we’ve all been waiting for! Kylogami Ren vs. Origami Rey!!!! Make Rey, then make Kylo… and recreate that wild battle on Starkiller Base! Or click the How To Fold button on the right to find instructions for many more characters. Use the search box to […]
It’s always sad when a SuperFolder disappears from the site. Some make a big exit…. some just stop coming. To me it can be like losing a friend. So it’s GREAT when a missing SF comes back! That’s why I was so happy to see SF BraceFace again! (He’s Creepy_Pasta […]
The tradition around here is to release instructions for a new character for May the Fourth. This year, it’ll be Rey. Rey is such an amazing character and I think we are going to find her even more amazing in the next movie! And, since we’ve already got Kylo-gami Ren […]
Hey SFs!!! It’s hard to believe we ever got this far… but Qwikpick 3 is out today. My Qwikpick series has never been as popular as Origami Yoda. (Not even close.) Qwikpick is the underdog. Which fits because it’s a book about kids who are underdogs. But they’ve got a […]
HEY SFs!!!!! Just got back from the Rocket and Groot book tour and I’ve got a lot to tell you guys: 1) Rocket and Groot is out there and I hope you guys are enjoying it. If you see it in a store, at least pick it up so you […]
Wow, I still can’t believe this exists! A real TV commercial for my Rocket and Groot book, featuring not only Rocket and Groot, but my own character, Veronica the Tape Dispenser. (And Debbie Don’s Dance Dojo which was an Easter Egg for you Fortune Wookiee readers!!!!) By the way, we […]
Hey SFs! This is actually two small tours and I’m in the middle of the first right now and headed to Richmond Va tomorrow. These are some pics from along the way… Above is the real Mr Hutchinson!! Here’s a great Cover Yoda! I opened it up and it seemed […]
Howdy SFs! The Rocket and Groot tour is going to go through North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland/Wash. DC. Wish I could go everywhere, but I can’t! So I hope a bunch of you will be able to make it to one of these shows: Thursday, March 24th – Flyleaf […]
This post got my attention because of the nice drawing of Kellen. Then I tried folding the Luke Skyfolder…. it’s really good! (I got a little lost around step 8, but it all worked out…)
Hey SFs! Man am I excited about having a commercial on TV for my new book!!! It’s crazy!!!!! BUt I haven’t actually seen it on TV yet. (I don’t have cable tv) If any of you see it, take a photo of it on your tv and submit it! The […]
SFs!!! You always rise to the challenge! This showcase is AMAZING!!! That’s LukeSkyFolder18 above! And lots more stookiness below! -Tom Note from Sam: Sorry, Condude4545, your photo wouldn’t straighten out.
MY new book is out! Rocket and Groot: Stranded on Planet Strip Mall! Rocket and Groot (and Veronica the superintelligent tape dispenser) have crashlanded in a bookstore or library near you!!! And I’ve made a video to teach you how to fold your own Rocket Raccoon!! But remember, this book […]
Sad news today, Superfolders. Tony Dyson has passed away. Dyson, along with Ralph McQuarrie, of course, created R2D2. Here’s a picture of him with Art2D2, along with what I’m pretty sure is my first — OF MANY — R2.
Make a SCENE! Any scene! (Like SF JPANDA did with BB8 and Rey!) Submit it SOON with the word SCENE in the title! (MUST!) Sam will put it in the showcase!
Kylo Ren in the snow, by SF LukeSkyfolder1 Hey SFs!!! SF Psychofolder suggested a showcase where you make a whole origami SCENE!!! Let’s do it!! Make a scene from ANY movie. And I mean any Star Wars movie or ANY other movie you’re excited about. Your scene doesn’t need to […]
Got a crush on someone else who’s read Origami Yoda? This twist card will be perfect! Or how about someone who likes Rocket Raccoon? Give them this card now and the book next month: Fake Mustache fan? Try this: Maybe, they like the Qwikpick series? How about a Rat (with […]
If you (or your parents) are on Twitter, you can do this so easily and a kid who doesn’t have great access to books will get a free one from Disney, thru FirstBook.org. Take a picture of a book or a bunch of books or a whole shelf of books… […]
I just wanted to tell you SFs how much I LOVE SuperFolder Stookiness!* It seems like we’ve been seeing some really amazing stuff there lately! I look at every post — although I sometimes skim past the ones that are just some random picture off the internet. But it makes […]
SF Leroy Ketchup has made a startling discovery…. Could this be the REAL thing?? Ive seen videos from this company on Youtube before… but this is an older video. From the days before YouTube! And heres a close-up of the song/video list: What do you think? Is it the REAL […]
I don’t have my hands on the actual book yet, but my editor sent me this photo. It’s for real! More than a comic book! More than a novel! More than a movie! More than an office supply catalog! It’s like nothing the galaxy has ever seen! But the galaxy […]
https://www.humblebundle.com/books Yes, SFs! This is legit! You can get Origami Yoda as an eBook for ANY AMOUNT you want to donate to charity! You can get the other novels by donating at certain amounts. I get nothing out of this, but I’m 100% behind it because Doctors without Borders is […]
Hey SFs!!! I hope you had a great 2015 and will have an even better 2016! I’ve got some news for you about the future of the Origami Yoda books, other books, this site and even… the possible return of the TalkZone! But that will be in a separate post. […]
Hey SFs!!! As we head into 2016, I wanted to tell you guys what I know about the future of Origami Yoda series, my other books, the Website and even… The Talkzone! This is going to be a HUGE year for me… with 6 new books coming out and 4 […]
The Real Mr GCF stopped by to get a selfie with Soapy and say HAVE A HEALTHY NEW YEAR! Soapy said : @&!&@$!! — Hey SFs! I’ll have some BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS coming on New Years Day about upcoming books and … the possible return of the Talkzone? (WHAT????!?!?!) -Tom —- Superfolders…. […]
Hey SFs! Thought you might enjoy last year’s 12 Days… Have a great break and I’ll see you soon!
WOW!!!! Superfolders, you constantly amaze me! This is an AWESOME showcase!!! 43 Entries! And a lot of them have multiple figures in them! (Like OPThomasJujube’s poster above.) That is a LOT of origami! In coming years, lots of people are going to make origami based on these new StarWars characters… […]
This is going to be an amazing showcase, folks! Just look at this amazing shot by SF LukeSkyfolder! Great origami, great idea, great photo! Don’t be left out! Send in your own great photos TODAY!!!!! (To do that, submit your photo with the letters “TFA” in the title.)
WOW!!! SF Isabella’s BB-8 is Stooooooky!!!! Don’t forget to send in YOUR The Force Awakens origami for the TFA showcase! Just be sure to include TFA in the title! And if you have previously sent in TFA origami, feel free to repost it with TFA in the title!
Hey SFs!!!! You getting excited? Excited enough to make some Force Awakens Origami for a showcase? Everybody will be busy watching the movie on Thurs and Fri (and probably Sat) so let’s plan to show this showcase on Sunday. That means you’ve got a week to make something awesome and […]
Revisited the scene of the crime while in DC on a mini book tour! Looking at it again, I have to say that Kellen’s airplane must have been really good to make it all the way to the X1!
Saturday, Dec. 5, I’ll be at the Smithsonian with fellow Star Wars authors Adam Gidwitz, Alex Bracken and Tony Diterlizzi. (And maybe C3P0?) 1:00 – 3:00pm Star Wars book signing Location: National Museum of American History (14th Street & Constitution Ave, NW) Main Store, located on the second floor, near […]
MasterFolder John sent in this Tree-Tree-8, which is so funny I had to send it straight to the front page!
Okay, so I bought the box of Mini Trix so I could get a toy — and I got lucky and got BB8! — and also because the box is awesome! But then… what am I supposed to do with all that Trix? How about an art project? You saw […]
SF Tynuviel says: “I actually didn’t want to contribute to the Unturkey thing since I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but because I’m into Rebels now, I had this idea. I didn’t want to exclude Chopper so he’s the ring (although I don’t wear a ring in real life).” That’s the great […]
Step one: make an outline of your hand. Step two: Turn it into ANYTHING other than a turkey. As seen in Art2D2’s Guide to Folding and Doodling and Unturkeys…
It’s been so long since we did an Ask Tom that some of these questions were getting pretty old! I hope the people that asked them are still around and that other people find the answers interesting… Q: Tom, I have a BIG question. When ever I go to Talk […]
Hey SFs!! When I was a kid I loved to draw pictures from books by Ed Emberley. The books are still out there and I really recommend them!!! Lately, I got a hold of great set of magic markers and re-discovered the fun of drawing Ed Style. Even though Ed […]
Hey SFs!!! I hope you all had fun on Halloween! I eventually gave up on wearing my Rocket Raccoon origami hat… it was too big and kept flopping around. But that’s pretty much the story with every Halloween costume I’ve ever had… part way thru Halloween you ditch it. (Maybe […]
Just imagine that Webmaster Sam wasn’t too lazy to photoshop the logo on there ….
I’m decided to give people a little more time to submit their photos, in case they were too busy eating candy to do it Halloween night. So this is the LAST call for entries…
Here are instructions for a super EZ Rocket hat/costume, complete with a tail hanging down in the back. You can be pretty sloppy about this and it will still work out! These photo instructions are a little more confusing than nice Kellen-drawn instructions, but… Kellen is “busy” right now…. Start […]
Exciting news about Star Wars Episode 7 today and not really a spoiler… just the great news that Nien Nunb will be in the movie!! As you know, I love Nien Nunb! I think he is very important to Return of the Jedi, both as far as the plot — […]
Yes! This! This! Great folding and great decorating adding up to a great scene! Nice work, SF Luke Skyfolder18!
Showcase is right around the corner! I hope you SFs are cooking up some awesome stuff! (See previous post from showcase details….) Here’s a classic: SF Lou’s combination costume/pumpkin Ewok!
Hey SFs!!! Well… As far as news. I have been crazy busy this whole month. A booktour, New York Comic Con, Virginia Children’s Book Festival and more to come. The big book news lately was the Han Foldo paper pack I posted earlier. Did any of you find it??? I […]
Hey SFs!! I want to give you a heads-up about a new item you may see in stores. Right off the bat, let me tell you: This is NOT a new Origami Yoda novel. Nor is it a book of Superfolders’ stookiest submissions. That would be really stooky, but that’s […]
Hey SFs!!! My book, Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Darkside, is in stores now, with Alex Bracken’s A New Hope and Adam Gidwitz’s Empire Strikes Back. If you’d like to hear an excerpt from the audiobook… Click here. I asked you SFs to help me celebrate […]
Up top is the awesome Ewok submitted by SF Harry Potter! You’re going to submit something, too, right? Deadline is coming up on Sunday! (Or Monday) So fold it and submit it! Anything or anyone from Return of the Jedi! Just remember to use the word RETURN in your submission […]
Howdy SFs! First, an apology. The Stookiness hasn’t been updated like it should lately. Webmaster Sam has a lot of stuff going on other than this site… mostly Top Secret Potato Chip Espionage… and sometimes I do too. So, whenever you check the site and find that it’s not updated, […]
It’s video instructions for Kylogami Ren! Or, if you’d rather have Kellen’s written instructions… Click on the images to make them big enough so you can see what you’re doing!
Start rustling up some Black Paper! (Got any left from Art2D2?) It’s almost time to start folding! I’m going to post the instrux TONIGHT (Thursday) to help you pass the time in case you are waiting to go to the Toy Store at 12:01 AM. P.S. Are you as blown […]
In addition to all the SFs on this site, there are also SFs making stuff but not posting it. SF Kotaro has been folding up a storm in secret… Luckily I met him in person and he showed me what he was doing… Using a modified Darth Paper fold to […]
I had such a great time last night throwing planes around on a nice, late summer evening! I want to encourage all of you to get out there and do some throwing, too. As you may know, Harvey’s Darth Flyer airplane isn’t much of an airplane. And the basic glider […]

hey SFs… I’ve been working on Rocket and Groot today and thought I’d give you a little peek at the book…. And here’s the official synopsis: After battling deadly space piranhas in Sector 7 of the Cosmos, Rocket and Groot crash-land on a planet made up of strip malls, maniacal […]
Hey SFs! I’m back from vacation. It was a working vacation, of course, with a library visit — met some cool SuperFolders! — and a little folding and some Rocket and Groot work. I hope you guys all had a great summer and that school won’t keep you too busy […]
This is what happened when I ran the OY cover through the Google Dreams App!
SuperFolder Origamiyoda30 Yes, I am the mexican SF that lives in Mexico, and maybe you have guessed I read OY books in Spanish (that, btw, there are just three here). I am not expecting you to learn them but, yolo 😆 . Stooky-Estuqui Pikpok-Pikpok Narnar-Narnar Total Rockets-Cohetes Totales Plastic Dinosaurs-Dinosaurios […]
Hello Superfolders! Webmaster Sam here with an update and some tips. Sometime in the next couple of days we should be receiving our 11,000th Stookiness Submission! WOW!!!!!

Wow! I’m so glad I extended the deadline! These are INCREDIBLE!!!! Great job, SFs!!!!!
Hey SFs!!! Here’s some STUFF you may want to know: 1) Sam promises that the Muppet Showcase is coming tomorrow… or Thursday. 2) I’ve been writing like crazy! Almost finished with Inspector Flytrap #3! No, you didn’t miss 1 and 2, they just aren’t out yet! 3) I LOVE meeting […]
Hey SFs… You may have been expecting the Muppet Showcase… but Sam and I took the day off to finish this absolutely pointless project that no one was waiting for. Because some times you NEED to work on a project that no one else cares about, but you care about […]
Hey SFs! Yesterday was maybe my most Epic mail day EVER! Up top you see an origami ME made by a reader. And here are some of the highlights…. Awesome Dwight and OY by Malachi Great idea by Oliver: […]

Apparently, I called Ari_Likes_Unicorns a HE a while ago! Ari is a SHE and an AWESOME SF and this is her Kit Fisto above. Sorry, Ari!
Hey Sfs!!! As you can guess the theme of our next showcase is THE MUPPETS! And Muppet you want: Sesame Street, Muppet Show, Dark Crystal, etc… Make it and submit it to Sam with the word MUPPET and your USERNAME in the TITLE of the submission. For example, the Kermit […]
People sometimes ask me how I make up a design for an origami character. Well, it’s not magic, it’s experimenting until I get a start, then refolding and redecorating until I come up with something that works. Recently, I had the great luck to meet Sergio Aragones at ComicCon. Sergio […]
Now that I’m back from ComicCon, Sam is finished house-sitting and chip-eating. (actually he’s never finished eating my chips!!!) So hopefully between the two of us, we can get Stookiness back on a regular schedule. And I’ve got some pictures to share with you… AND it’s time for a new […]

Happy Valentines Day SFs!!! Here’s a little present from me… Hope you like it!
Good news and bad news! The good news is that lots of people sent in really great drawings! The bad news is that this showcase wasn’t for really great drawings… it’s for Tommy-style doodles, as seen in Art2D2. So, Sam will just post those other drawings — some of which […]

Are you inventing new origami? Yes 3. […]
Here’s a resolution I’d love for the SFs to make… NO MORE UPSIDE DOWN OR SIDEWAYS PHOTOS IN 2015 BEFORE you take a picture, make sure you have the camera tilted the right way. It can be hard to tell AFTER the photo is taken, so make sure you check […]

Nice work, CaveSpider10! You may be the first person in the WORLD to have folded EP 7 origami!!!
The challenger here was to make something from the PRE-Star Wars era. Batman, proved pretty popular, followed by Doctor Who. (Note: Look closely, PaperDragon’s R2D2 may actually be a Dalek….)
Howdy SFs!!! I’m finally home from that crazy 9 day roadtrip! Even Greg Hefley wasn’t on the road that long! Here are a few updates: 1) That Star Wars 7 trailer was awesome, huh? Looking forward to seeing the first origami versions of those characters…. 2) Some trolls stopped by. […]

Hey SFs… I’m still trapped at the Holiday Inn, so here’s something silly I made while passing the time…
Hey SFs! I’m trapped in a Holiday Inn by the snow… So i thought I’d make some instrux. Only limited paper and pens available, though. Here’s EZ Mario and Luigi. They’d look a lot better with red/white and green/white paper… Same folds could make any baseball cap wearing person, of […]
A lot of SuperFolders have asked for a GAME to play on this site! Well, here you go! This game is based on an event described in The Qwikpick Papers: POOP FOUNTAIN! It’s not much of a spoiler to tell you that the Poop Fountain manager, Freddie, once rescued an […]
We asked the SuperFolders to send in their BEST origami! And the result is: WOW! Over 70 entries!!! Take a look: NOTE: If you entered more than one item, Sam picked his favorite. ALL entries will appear in Stookiness eventually. If you missed this Showcase…. don’t worry we’ll have another […]

This has become an April Fool’s Day Tradition around here. Hope you enjoyed it. And thanks SF JC for this faux cover. And in all seriousness… NO, there is no news about new Origami Yoda books. Save your money for Qwikpick 2 instead!
Webmaster Sam says: Tom is headed out to see you guys June 18 and 19 if you live ANYWHERE near Michigan go for it! If you need any more details about this weekend’s Ann Arbor Comics Arts Festival go right here! …. now, the important question is: where did Tom […]
A new (and awesome) SF named ArtsyActor has a request. That’s it up top. On the one hand, I TOTALLY agree with her. On the other hand, I know that JC and CJ and EvilJawa and even Megan/Phred are moving on to other projects, like world domination and dessert topping […]
Check out that awesome drawing of Rocket by SF Isabella!!! Don’t worry!!!! You don’t have to draw as good as that to enter the contest… in fact you’re NOT supposed to! You only have to draw as good (or as bad) as a crazy space raccoon! If you’ve seen my […]

Hey SFs! I am back home after travelling 6,000 miles, signing 100s of books and doing something like 18 events. It was awesome and I got to see some amazing SFs…. but it was also exhausting! So I hope you can forgive me for not getting any new stookiness posted. […]
Hey SFs…. IT’s going to be a busy few weeks for me, so please be patient if the website falls behind a bit. I’m trying to get out there and see a lot of you in person! And if you can’t get to one of my events, remember that Saturday […]
