Valleys and mountains (IMAGE) University of Tokyo Caption In origami, there are two main types of creases used: valley folds and mountain folds. In each case, the paper is folded either inwards or outwards. To make these folds, gaps are left on one side of the heat-shrink sheet to allow for that part of the sheet to fold inwards, like a valley, or outwards, like a mountain, when heat is applied.
