Hello dear friends of the folded sheet
today we'll fold the traditional flapping bird
I use 15cm by 15cm origami paper
but any paper will do the job for this one, because it's quite simple
the tricky part is an outside reversefold
but I'm sure we'll get through it - I'll explain it in great detail
I think the model is more pretty when you use a single color sheet
but for demonstrational purposes I use dual color
the first stepp is folding the sheet diangonally and unfold again both ways
you probably noticed the diagrams on the right hand corner
you can download them from my homepage by clicking the annotation
turn the sheet over
fold the sheet in the middle and unfold again
turn the sheet over again
push in the center
form a waterbomb base
by pulling down the two sides to the bottom edge
then pushing everything flat
this is called the waterbomb-base , the base for our model
fold the top layer diagonally
to the top righthand edge
take the bended flap
and bring the two edges together
turn the model over
bend over the flap
simliar to the steps we did before
bring the long edges together
bring those two edges together also
remember: you can pause the video anytime you need it
this crease is not indicated but you create it by flatting the model
now comes the outside-reverse-fold
first we make this preparation fold
so the edge and the small crease align
unfold again
and find the pocket
what we do is simply put
bending the lef flap over
we wrap it around
we have to reverse those crease
push the whole thing together again
that's all there is to it
once more
you wrap it around
you have to reverse the two creases
to the outside
that is why it's a called an outside reverse fold
to shape the head of the bird we do another reversfold
here, another outside reverse fold
we prepare the fold
by doing a valley fold and unfolding again
pend the flap over again
and bring it together
let me show you this closeup
now you can take your bird
let me focus here
and pull it apart
or...
not apart...
just simply pull it
and you have a nice flapping bird
