If you have paper and ten minutes, you're ready to fold some adorbs origami! It helps you wind down after a stressful day, stay off your phone (once you've mastered the tutorials, of course), and you can show off your creations to friends. We've rounded up some easy tutorials below, so take a deep breath and let the folding begin!

The Crane

Arguably the most well-known origami, this tutorial will have you cranking out tiny birds like a pro.

The Fortune Teller/Cootie Catcher

If you have yet to master this grade-school fave, now's your chance to learn. Write some neat fortunes inside and predict the future!

The Tulip

This one might seem tricky at first—there are a lot of steps and tiny folds—but compared to most origami flowers, it's a breeze!

The 5-Pointed Star

This simple tutorial shows you how to make a star out of five pieces of paper. You can start stock piling these and give them out as Christmas presents later this year. Want to jazz it up? Stop by your local craft store and choose pretty paper.
