I have tried out a few'Miura-Ori' fold patterns recently. 'Miura-Ori' is a general term used for patterns that have concave polyhedral surfaces. Within this class of patterns, there are several variations known as degrees of corrugations, and I have attempted very simple 90/45 degree corrugations.
Corrugation 1 & 2 are 90/45 degree corrugations. 64 square creases with diagonals are made on on square paper, and the creases are folded into a repeating pattern of parallelograms.

diagonals are made on on square paper, and the
creases are folded into a repeating pattern of parallelograms. After completing the folds,
I simply curved the paper in.

I found instructions for the 64 square crease corrugation on youtube ( see link below). The video is not very clear on instructions, so careful observation and persistence helps!
