so in geometry we had to make 6 different origami animals and there's this one asian kid in our class and kids kept asking him for help and he got so fed up that he stood up, picked up his chair, and screamed "FOR THE LAST TIME, JUST BECAUSE I'M ASIAN DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM JAPANESE, AND NOT ALL JAPANESE PEOPLE CAN MAKE ORIGAMI!" I was wheezing XD

the video: *makes origami rabbit in 5 minutes*
me: *makes origami rabbit in 5 hours*

ahh yes, I have finally finished my rabbit. It is soiled with my tears of anguish but looks cool as heck.

This tutorial is 99% huge hand, and 1% of tiny paper.

A little tricky to follow at times but was actually really good. I'm not great at origami and my folds tend to be uneven but my bunny still looks like a bunny. Thanks so much for the video it was really fun to make 😊

its so hard to understand something when you can only see fingers and no paper....

[awfulrad]

instructions unclear, my house is upside down and on fire

[imhp]

Mine became a mountain goat instead of a rabbit....😐

[pisces]

Way too hard to follow, try narrating your steps a bit or flipping the paper around a bit less, I had to pause way too many times.
Next time maybe use a bigger piece of paper too? Your hands were blocking what you where doing 75% of the time, especially towards the end.
Your end product looked great, but I got lost at around 3:30. Next time try making it a bit easier for your viewers to follow :)

I just made these bunnies with my boyfriend and they turned out great, thank you! If people are having trouble following, I would suggest just watching the video at half the speed in a few parts.
Honestly, I don't think that this tutorial was so terrible for people to be so negative about the hands being in the way. It's the nature of the craft when you're folding small pieces of paper with your hands. Thank you very much for this video!

hey guys, the video was quite well made. pausing is your best friend. i enjoy the silent video, its a personal choice. if you like it voiced out there are some out there. the paper was a little small in my opinion for a tutorial, but the end result was nice. so just because you didn't like it, doesnt mean it was trash. the video is well made no doubt. thanks Mica.

I'm shocked at all the hate comments I've read.
Mostly by people who are clearly way too inexperienced in Origami, it seems to me. It's too fast for you? There's a slow down option in YouTube and you can pause it by just clicking the space bar.
He tells nothing? Paper speak by itself. You can turn on the TV if you need noise while folding your paper.

It's a free video, people! Get a grip. I've grown up with diagrams where dotted or dashed lines are standards and I still prefer that for difficult origami

[thatgamargir]

You need to work with a bigger paper, i couldnt see half the stuff you were working with. You flip it too much. You work very fast making it so we half to pause several times.

[inexact]

I'm a complete beginner but I found this tutorial simple and well made. I had to pause a few times, but isn't that the case with all origami tutorials? One of the nicer looking models I've come across for such a simple process!

[megand]

Got confused at some points, but learned to set mine down and watch closely where you folded it.
Commentary would be nice, but sometimes it can make it worse if you say something like:
"Okay, now make 2 cubic ear folds."
Heck is that? :P
Other then that maybe use a larger paper just for the sake of a clearer view. Still, just use what you have.
It's adorable though.

[jango]

If y'all are having issues, just slow the video down 50%. From 3:30 on i couldn't figure it out until i slowed it down then it clicked first time

[cjmg]

Wow...a lot of negative comments....but I love this video.  I actually like that you do not speak....much less distraction.  Maybe if I was a total beginner I would need that.  But, I love your video and I love this bunny!!  Thank you!

[Hana-yufj]

This wasn't *too* bad. I see a lot of comments saying that it's too fast and that the paper is small. If you slow the speed down to, like, 0.5, it's a lot easier to follow the instructions. The ending where you make the feet threw me off a bit, but once it's slowed down it's way easier than watching it at regular speed. I did have to pause and go back multiple times, though.

Adorable model, and simple enough to memorize for a fun little party or date night trick. To all the haters in the comments, stop whining, you'll always have to pause and rewind these tutorial videos when learning a new design. Also, go buy an intro to origami book and work through it, you'll learn all of the basic techniques and patterns used to make this rabbit. If you want to see a genuinely difficult origami rabbit, watch a tutorial for Jun Maekawa's origami rabbit design.

[samcordell]

Had to rewind a little bit but otherwise I had very little trouble folding this! Thanks!!!

Thank you! My 6yo daughter has been very interested in Origami recently and this video was right at her skill level. Thank you!
