hello dear friends of the folded i'm
Tavvin from Tavins Origami Instructions
and today i'll show you how to fold the
traditional windmill base it's super
easy to do - works with any quadratic
sheet and it's the base form for a lot
of traditional models like the german
horse and horseman or the spanish
Pajarita and we begin with any quadratic
sheet - I use dual color paper for
demonstrational purposes and we fold the
paper in both ways diagonally and unfold
again - make sure to make those precise
and clear creases because all other
creases depend on it just align the
edges and the corner just like this and
fold away from yourself that is why I'm
turning the paper so much that is good
folding style - now fold the edge towards
the center to mark a quarter basically
on both sides .And then open it up again
and turn over the sheet ones and fold
all corners towards the center
number three
just make sure everything
is nice and neat and keep folding away
from yourself that is why I'm turning
the paper so much I know it's a little
confusing to follow but it gives you
better results and open it up again and
turn the sheet one more time and now
again fold the edge towards the center
of the paper creating quarters basically
but this time in the other direction so
you get a four x four grid basically
with the middle lines missing now what
we do is we push this
bottom layer here towards the center for
this we open up those two sides and just
push and flatten it and because we did
all the pre-creases it is very easy and
the paper wants to basically move in
that direction and now we do it on the
other side to open those two flaps up a
little bit and push and flatten and now
for the windmill turn those two flaps
and you're done that is your origami
windmill base it's a model on its own
and the base for a lot of cute little
easy origami it's a very old and
traditional base and if you like this uh
