Hello I'm Tavin from Tavin's origami
instructions and today I'll show you how
to fold one of those neat little goats
here
and best you use little firmer paper like this
but ordinary origami
paper 15 centimeters or larger like this
one will also work just fine
I find
you get the best results if you use a little
stronger paper
this has been an a4 sheet that I cut
down to a square and
I really like this
model.
Mr. Forcher's wife was so nice to allow me to show this to you
so let's
get right at it so the first thing you
need to do is to divide one side into
thirds there are several ways to go
about this
I will now place the paper in an S curve
so all three layers that are on top are
equal lengths and it takes some wiggling
around and then I will pinch mark those
and you can also just use a ruler that
will be more precise and easier but I
wanted to show you one method without
any tools and then we will fold both
diagonals
you will need them later for orientation
so first this direction than
the other
make sure those first creases are
precise because this is a little
advanced model so maybe not something
for beginners. Be patient and be ready to
work a little on it
so then we have our
marks for the third here and that is
that iswhere our crease will go through
and the
next one will also go through the other pinch mark
but also it is just the edge
to the main diagonal
and to tansfer those thirds now
we will fold in the
first part and then fold diagonally and
just fold around it
just like this. And then we fold the edge
to the middle
and that's that and as you
probably can see in the diagram we will
need to fold in the corners
so just the white parts disappear.
very neatly
and
one part will be one corner will be the
tail of the goat - and the tail of the
goat - I'm sorry and for that we have
folded the exact so folding this a
little back; about maybe a finger half a
finger wide and then we will need to do
two squash folds, to the side. And so you
can see better, I'll zoom in in the
camera and as well on the diagram and we
fold this diagonal from the top of the
newly folded edge centers to the corner
of the model on both sides that will
make the squash fold more precise if
you're an advanced folder you can just
do that from hand without the
preparation and the another preparation
fold we need to unfold everything and
then fold the diagonal of the tip
in both directions again so the goat is
symmetrical and this is now one of those
cases where firmer paper comes in handy
because the creases are easier to
reverse and are more strict those hinge
functions we are using right now by
pressing on the side will be easier with
firmer paper but I thought it would be
better if the paper is two-colored so
I'm stuck with this now. okay
that came out quite okay. you can see a
little white, you shouldn't, but that won't
matter - it will be hidden later on
now for the next part we will fold this
into
half, the a complete thing, and then we will mark
halfway through and we will need to make
a vally-fold at each quarter and then
next to the middle line 1/8 distance we will make
a mountain-fold.  this is a little
mind-boggling but just bear with me here
so we have this pinch fold and we fold
the pinch fold unto the half of the
whole model. so that will give us the
quarter and then we fold the edge with a
tail to that pinch mark also the
pinch mark could also be a whole crease
actually doesn't matter much. And then we
will turn the whole thing around and use
the edges of the folds to fold the edge
towards the pinch mark here this edge
goes to the pinch mark now that is our
newly folded edge and also on the other
side here goes there okay nice and neat
and if you turn it around you now see
the white parts are the parts where the
zig zag is coming towards yourself and
I'll just stop this for a second
to explain a little so exactly like
shown in the diagram the quarters are
now here in blue and their belly folds
and in red the mountain folds are 1/8 of
the green line and which is the half of
the whole model distance from the
halfway point and that's basically all
so let's continue with a waterbomb base
on the other side that is actually a
quite simple step and if you don't know
how to do a waterbomb base I have
several videos I'll link one of them in
the description where I show the steps
one in detail
it's basically just folding two
diagonals and then we not only fold
those two diagonals as precise as
possible again we turn it around and
fold a mountain fold exactly where those
two diagonals now meet which luckily is
also the halfway point so you can just
align it with the edge and then we
collapse it again if that was too fast I
recommend you might not try this video
because it's very basic maneuver so now
we fold the water bomb base diagonally
like this in both directions and that
needs some pressure to fold through we
will need those creases later on and if
you have done this if you have pushed
nice and hard through all the layers of
paper unfold the whole thing but I
promise you it hadn't been for nothing
we need those creases later and now for
something we could describe as two
squash folds to the sides we fold the
paper upwards into a quarter and then
into the exactly other direction the
eighth of the whole length of the thing
like this and then we take the hidden
corner here and fold along the wide pink
line that is a 45-degree angle and we
fold edge to edge and so it's just the
diagonal of the square here and we do
this on the other side too I'll zoom in
for that to show you in more detail so
we have this here fold it in half and
then we fold this in a 45-degree angle
we can align it with the crease or on
the left hand side with a raw edge of
the whole model this is now a little I'm
sure sharp but bear with me we'll do it
all again and most of it will basically
just
fold itself complicated thing is to know
where to do the creases and where to
push once they are there basically
everything just falls into place so you
take this to the left and that to the
right and everything else just get into
place and you push it down so again you
fold towards the middle and then you
fold what is left over what you're
currently holding into your in your hand
downwards and that's a lot of layers so
push nice and hard and then you take
whatever is hidden in the zigzag and
folded here so it aligns with the crease
we've previously made and it is a 45
degree angle to the raw edge at the
bottom and here we just fold the
transition between the two colors that
is why I chose to ill color paper it
does have no effect but it's easier to
show and then we flatten the whole thing
and this is this dual hinge movement
really nice trick Peterpaul came
up with to create - four legs actually for
our little goat and now we will do a
crimp and fold the whole thing in half
at the same time I've worried that's
much easier and what we just needed to
do we will just reinforce those creases
we just previously made I promise you
you will need them later
it is now one of those moments and we
make the mountain folds fold the whole
thing in half and then half again so now
we have half a square basically at an
angle and something with the tail
basically and because I didn't do it all
perfectly I'll have to do some cleaning
up here and again I recommend you use
different paper than what I just did now
what we will do is basically like a bird
base in the top and for that we need to
do those creases that I right now show
at the diagram and to be able to do that
we'll just
make a pocket up there and fold from
here to there now and the pocket we just
did was basically just along the creases
that were already there
it's similar to an inside reverse fold a
little bit and you see again I need to
clean up the folds a little bit because
it was so many layers something good
moved a little bit but now we have done
those layers what we will do now is we
will flip it like a sock towards the
left in a bit first push here and then
it will pop out and this here goes back
in and that's a little piece of paper we
will use for the goatee later on
and now and what we will do is basically
like a petal fold in in the bird base so
you fold this backwards and this part
also and the crease in between just
creates itself when you close it like
this so you all you have to make sure is
that the angles of the pre creases are
nice and clean and you have to reverse
the two at the top corner here so you
reverse those creases basically and
that's it
okay so Mountain fold there basically
and mountain fold here and now we also
dug this flap in which we used in the
beginning to create the orthogonal
crease a vertical crease exactly and now
what we will do is create the ears the
horns of the goat and also the goatee
the goatee is that little corner here
the raw corner of the paper and you just
do an inside reverse fold and to get it
out here and then do to rabbit ears
the revit years go just as far as the
paper will allow you to go and there's
symmetrical basic rabbit ears and the
raw edge of the top will just align with
a of the neck of the goat that is pretty
straightforward it goes like this
and also because we want the symmetrical
vote on the other side the very same
steps you fold the edge dividers the
angle bisector to be precise and it was
like this and like that and there is one
additional crease in this bottom part
like that okay so now for the Hat if
you're familiar with the traditional
rabbit I have a video on that too you
will find this much easier what you do
is you wrap around the big neck and
divide it in half and make the head
pivot downwards in the same manner and
make sure those creases are pretty
tightly in the middle and 45 degree and
then Tibbets just like I demonstrated
right now okay
and instead of pivoting outwards like I
just did we will reverse the whole thing
and make it go inward and this is a
little tricky and here would humor paper
you will have better results because
it's easier to reverse the creases so
now I have to make sure that the creases
are reverse all the way and go in like
this otherwise the neck will be too long
or the Hat will just pop up if I down
reverse the crease and if I don't do it
all the way and do it proper you get an
awfully long neck so that is where a few
more paper would be really neat but yep
that's it just make sure that the crease
we worked all the way and for one last
touch you tuck in the bottom like this
into the other pocket and you do an
inside reverse fold here at an angle to
create the tail
and that's it you got your own little
goat I know this model is a little more
challenging than what I usually show sew
down hesitate to ask for help in the
comments I'll try to do my best and I'd
love your feedback is this what you want
more complicated more difficult models
to do if so please let me know in the
comments and also if you'd rather I'd
stay with more easy stuff by the way if
you're new please subscribe and get
notified whenever I upload something new
or check out this video that is
suggested right now. see you next time
bye bye
