This paper describes folding methods of thin flat sheets as well as thin cylinders by modelling folding patterns through Japanese traditional Origami technique. New folding patterns have been deviced in thin flat squared or circular membranes by modifying so called Miura-Ori(one node with 4 folding lines). Some folding patterns in thin cylinders have newly been developed including spiral configurations. Developed foldable cylinders were made by using polymer sheets, and it has been assured that they can be folded very well. The deviced models will make it possible to construct foldable/developable space structures as well as to manufacture foldable bottles for beverages.
