Use thin and crisp paper. Origami paper (sometimes called kami) or photocopy paper will work. Don't use expensive paper at first.
Read the book from beginning. You must be familiar with the symbols and basic folds. Learn before folding.
Look at the diagrams carefully. Make sure you follow the sequence exactly as numbered. When lost, compare the diagram with the next one, and guess how to make it as described in the next diagram. If you can't figure out, begin again from the first step.
Fold neatly. Make sure the corners and/or edges meet each other accurately and precisely. Don't make haste.
Fold firmly. Fold on a solid surface and press on the creases with your fingers. Some folders use tools such as a folding-bone.
Practice and practice each model. No one can fold it well at the first time.
You can take a break when you feel tired or frustrated. Leave it until tomorrow. Enjoy origami!
