5. To complete the base, do the same with C & D.

A

B

C

D

11. Repeat the sink on the last two corners.

12. The second level of sinks is complete. The model should be symmetric in four directions, if it is not, then a mistake was made in folding up the sinks. Continue sinking on the next level.

13. Note that the squashed square is always in the center of the model.Fold up as before.

14. Complete the level by sinkingthe other 3 corners.

15. Keep adding levels until your paper shreads irrecoverably, your eyes explode, or you feel satiated by the process. As a challenge, I recommend eight levels on an 10" piece of paper.

16. To complete the model, valley fold the last set of flaps towards the center, and pull the flaps out from behind.

17. Completed model.

10. Now, repeat steps 8-9 on the next corner. Note the placement of fingers. Be careful when folding the sink back up, it is as easy to grab two layers as one.

9. Fold the spread-squash back up on the existing creases, pulling one layer from each side inward and upward.

2. Starting the “point” of thearrow. Valley-fold. 3. Fold and unfold through

all layers. Repeat on right.

4. Pleat. Make thevalley-fold first. Thenbring the mountain-fold to the indicatedintersections.

5. Reverse-foldcorners at 45 degrees. Easiest to bring longedges to center,squashing the corners,then close up.

6. Reverse-fold thelong edges, closed-sinking at the topcorners. Start atthe open end andwork up.

7. Valley-fold alllayers on existingcrease.

8. Reverse-fold othercorner on existingcreases, tucking intotriangle on left. Thetiny valley-fold at theright edge helps makethe tuck easier.

60. Left upper point of the heart. Crease and flex. Then openout the tip into a 3-sidedpyramid, the 2 front right edgeskept together.

61. Top view. Sink the tip onthe crease just made (keepingthe double-edge together).

62. Back to a frontview. Reverse-foldnested corner down.

63. Reverse-fold the corner back up, tuckinginto the tiny pocket. These steps achieve aclosed sink more easily. Repeat 60-63 onthe right point of the heart.

tweezershelp

64. Model complete. Bend arrow head andtail outwards where they emerge from the heart.

There are unfortunately 2 separate points at the bottom of the heart, but this does help the modelstand up a little better. And though I regret the two-tone harlequin-esque finish, it’s not as glaringwith a real dollar bill as in these diagrams. (I regard these shortcomings as the price of achievingmy self-imposed goal: the arrow shaft emerges from under the planes of the heart.)

The Belle Damsel

1. Use foil paper for best effect on this model, While you could use kami, it will be more difficult and not as nice looking. Start with 1/2 of a square or 2:1 ratio piece of paper, large paper is not needed as a 6X3 piece of foil works well. Fold the foil into sixteenths, with skin color desired on the out side.

2. reverse fold in the first 2 corners on each side.

3. pull down the pleats to form the arms.

4. reverse fold down the top from the center fold to form the head.

By Perry Bailey on request byValerie Vann.

5. open up the figure andpull up the first layer of thehead while flatening the insideflaps to effect a color change.This will give your model the samecolor hair as her gown.

6. Inside rabbit foldboth arms, then folda small part of thehair back under togive her a face.

7. This is where all I know how to do is givea description. fan the model outwards at thebottom, while holding the top down to justbelow the arms. then use your thumb to insideof the model and wrap the pleats all the wayaround like a bell. the two ends of the foil willoverlap. At that point make the dress as fullor small as you like. To lock the bottom togetherjust fold up a little of the bottom or hem of thedress upwards. and you are done.

The reverse "S" here is showna bit more "open" than I usually make it. The tighterthe "S", the more of a tail you will be left with to makethe vertical line that goes through the "S". Take note!

The Martian Bouncing Spidercopyright 1997 by Perry Bailey

1. fold and unfold paper diagonaly in half both ways then blintz fold in all the corner to the center.

2. Blintz fold again the center Then unfold completely and turn the model over.

3. Fold the raw edge up to the top crease, then unfold and reapeat on other 3 sides. Turn the model over.

4. Fold the raw edge up to the first crease, then unfold. Repeat on other 3 sides.

5. Make a really large rabbits ear, then unfold and repeat on the other thre corners.

6. This is all of the folds after step 5, from here we go to the crease pattern to fold this into a long armed windmill.

7. Collapse the model in to a long armed pinwheel.

8. The model should have collapsed into a large pinwheel type shape. Note the small square in the center of the model remains flat through out the collapse. In the next diagram you will see only 1 arm shown.

9. Notice creases on the arm of the model, the next step is to use these creses to fold each arm into 3 preliminary base each one opposite to the one before.

10. Note that the bottom most preliminary base is four layers, put two layers to each side, the other folds will be only 1 layer each.

11. Three layers of preliminary bases on on top the other.

12. This is an enlarged view of the leg we just folded. Now we fold half of a bird base.

13. Fold another half of a bird base, but in the opposite direction.

14. Fold the final half of a bird base in opposite direction of the previous one.

15. Finished view of one leg.

16. Repeat steps 9 through 15 on all legs.

17. Now to finish your martian bouncing spider, grab the tip of each leg one at a time and gently pull in out till the middle of the leg becomes tube like.

18. Each leg will pull out like this. Finished!!!! now tap the x andwatch him bounce! With practiceyou can even dribble your spider.

Odd note here if you feel the need to improve yourspiders bounce some careful wet folding at the end,or glue if you want to hold the square part of hisbody together, or just use stiff paper like I do andit should work just fine! Perry

Take a dollar bill or a piece of paperaround the same dimensions, fold itin half the long way, then unfold.I am using a dollar bill, starting frontside up crease it then turn it over.

Make a Water bomb base while foldingmodel in half.

Reverse fold the entire bill outside of the WB base.

Inside reverse fold the lengthof the bill back from about thehalf way mark of the top or bottomof the WB base.

Reverse fold in both corners,(one to a side). Reverse fold the bottom flap up

to form front paws, Make a Rabbitsear fold on each side of the head.

This is shown enlarge to makeit possible to see the fold lines.Squash down the ears, on bothsides.

Still in enlarged mode, Reverse foldthe front to make a nose, the top partof the nose will co-operated if you forceit to, much like a small child or an ex-spouse. Do an uneven double rabbitsear fold along the lines shown to finishthe ears. Then we shrink the pictureback down.

Now crimp fold the rear part of the billfrom about 1/3 from the front on top,to about 1/3 from the back on the bottom.

You should come outsomething like this.Now we need to workinside the model sothe next view is interiorof the model.

We make an uneven rabbits earto get excess paper up inside ofthe model, do both sides.

This is how it should look after our thinningthe model out with the preceding fold. Nowdo a double inside reverse fold to form thehaunches.

Swivel fold up the legson each side. I used the back of the bill to giveyou helpful reference points.

Crimp fold the head downwards, so itis even on both sides. Then open upthe model to lock the head in to place.(See next diagram)

This is inside the model and magnified, to lock thehead in to place just use a simple valley fold on thetip of the crimped material. Then you are done!

Just for continuity here is the finished modelstill in the attitude you started with.

While I designed it to sit up, itcan go on all fours.

It just might tend to have thenose a little close to the ground.

With any luck at all your rabbits will all look a littledifferent, each time you make it! Almost all thefolds can be altered to make each bunny unique.

Fold the wing flap down, about half way between the crease you just made and the

edge formed from creasing the top flap. The exact amount is not important.

Squash the sides of the wing flap so that the edges are vertical. Again, the exact amount

is not important, but try to line up the intersection of the top of the horizontal

creases and the cockpit flap with the vertical crease. The intersection is hidden in the

diagram.

10) 11) 12)

Fold the triangular peak down at the crease you made in step 8.

Fold the model in half along the vertical axis from right to left.

Squash-fold the top flap up and to the left. Repeat on the flap on the back. These will

Petal fold the s-foil right. Repeat behind. Fold the flap up and to the left along a 450

line. Repeat behind.Unfold the fold on the left side that was

made when you made the petal-fold in step 13. Repeat behind.

16) 17) 18)

Fold the front half of the s-foil back along the centerline, and tuck it under the top

sheet of paper. Repeat behind.

Fold the flap up along the horizontal. Repeat behind.

Fold the s-foil down as far as you can. This crease will be horizontal, and will fall along

the edge of the engine pod. Repeat behind.

Page 3 of 6


19) 20) 21)

Inside-reverse fold the tip of the s-foil to make the wingtip cannon. If you treat the

flap you folded inside in step 17 as one side, and do the reverse between that flap and the single sheet, you will end up with the

bottom of the cannon white. Repeat behind.

Outside-reverse fold the end of the main wing to make the main wing cannon.

Finish forming the main wing by folding this flap inside the body. The midpoint of the 450 line made by the outside-reverse fold makes the bottom endpoint of the crease.

The exact position, however, is not important, as long as it looks good. Repeat

behind.

22) 23) 24)

Fold the tip of the cockpit flap down to the bottom horizontal crease.

Squash the flap up and to the left. Fold the flap over as far as you can to the right.

25) 26) 27)

Fold the lower half of the flap up. Fold the tip down to the crease that formed in the last step. Repeat behind.

Fold the tip to the vertical edge and unfold.

28) 29) 30)

Fold the flap down along the crease made in step 26. Repeat behind.

Fold the tip of the nose in along the crease made in step 28.

Fold the back of the engine pod into the body. Repeat behind.

31)

Fold the s-foils up to a horizontal position, and your B-Wing is ready to fly.

The completed B-Wing. This is a pretty crude isometric view, but hey, I don't do this for a living. There are two things I am unhappy with; the S-Foils should be below the engine pod, and the model is so thick that it needs a locking mechanism. Maybe those items will get fixed in a future

revision (i.e., when I have more time).

A circled number step number on the diagrams means there are written instructions for that step. Pleaseread them before folding. The folding sequence seems very mathematical. In reality most location pointsare not that critical: It’s just a way of minimizing free folding.

6. Fold the bisector. Step 7 indicates the position of the endpoint.8. Crimp on an existing valleyfold. The mountainfold starts at the endpoint of that valley and Step 9 indic-

ates its angle. Avoid creating the bottom border.10. Mountain fold starting at A, nearly parallel to Y but widening slightly towards the top. Endpoint C is

just a fraction higher than B.11. Make a tiny mark with your fingernail in the centre of the point.12. Fold the bisector, starting from the mark in 11. Fold only the bottom third of the point.16. Fold the point so that its edge crosses the circled point.19. & 20. Rearrange existing folds on one layer of paper only.21. Pinchboth layers of paper at the indicated spots and move your hands together, curving the paper in

between (make a bump, not a hollow.) The top point should open out and move down.24. Twist the top point to the front, wringing the cat’s neck.40. Side view. Pull apart the two layers of the ears.43. Gently curve the ears, the paper wants to do this anyway.44. Curved ‘eyebrows’. Practice this in a separate sheet first.45. Inside reverse fold. Don’t fold the edges, only curves here.47. Side view. Get rid of the point by folding it up into the head.56. Make sure flap A is folded into the tail.59. Run your thumbnail along the tail furrow and extend it, curving upwards.61. Gently curve back the paper along the dotted lines.

The final model will need a support to stand.

Columbine for Renateby Kalei Anne Lundberg

copyright 1999

Columbine (Aquilegia) is a hardy pereneial belonging to the Buttercup Family. It is beautifully colored; Frequently the center,outfacing petals, and spurs are different colors. This model was inspired by Guido Gazzera’s spurless Aquilegia model and is

dedicated to my cousin Renate, who first introduced me to this wonderful flower. The diagrams are for personal use only.Please contact me at [email protected] to obtain permissionfor any other use. Enjoy.

1. Precrease pattern. Collapse into a windmill base. 2. Squash fold the four corners.

3. Fold and unfold theflaps to thier center line,

4. Inside reverse along creases. 5. Petal fold outward all 4 corners as shownin the upper right hand corner. Circled corneropen to show interior detail. The raw edges

should butt tightly together. Some minoradjustment might be necessary.

turn model over.

Columbine for Renate -- page 1 of 3

Note: Some of the diagrams are flexed in order to indicate severallayers of paper or one corner open to show interior folding details.

All folds should be as accurate as possible.

6. Fold the corners to center.Allowing the points underneath

to flip to the top.

7. Narrow the points by foldingthe edges to their center line,spread squashing the top.

8. Fold and unfold to center. Then inside reverse along the crease.

9. Collapse model bringing pointstogether like a bird base. Circledarea shows the interior detail of

step 8.

10. Spread squash the fourcorners, like a frog base.

11. Open the model and sink thecenter section. The sink line shouldbe almost but not quite even withthe folded up section from step 8.Make sure that the blintzed paperunderneath is folded into the sinkas well. This is a bit cumbersome

12. a. Inside reverse thefour points. b. fold the

corners as close

13. Open out the petals. Sharpenthe crease on the spurs after they

swing downward.

Columbine for Renate -- page2 of 3

14. Slight indication of top and side view.Now on to the leaves...

(6" paper will yield a flower approx. 2.5"in diameter and are very

nice made from multi- colored papers.)

Stretched Bird Base Clover

1. Precrease pattern. Collapseinto Preliminary Fold.

2. Inside reverse fold the four flaps.3. Pull the inside flaps out stretching

the model so that the centerpops upward.

4. Fold the two flaps down whilepushing the center point up and

inside.

5. Squash fold the two flaps.

6. Fold and unfold the three top pointsand then inside reverse along crease.

7. Fold bottom point upto the back and turn the

model over.

8. Rabbit ear the point.9. Squash the rabbit ear. 10. Fold model in half. 11. Fold and unfold top

leaf repeat behind togive definition.

Glue wrapped floral wire into the squash fold of the clover. Attach 3clovers together, one at tip and 2 side by side to make leaf. Glue

wrapped floral wire to the inside of the flower head and wrap leaf tostem with floral tape. Hope you had fun. Columbine for Renate -- page 3 of 3

On the Water, Under Waterby Herman van Goubergen

1

Use a square of blue foil. The paper is white side up in step 7. The final moulding will be difficult if youdon’t use foil. Fix a flock/shoal on a sheet of transparent plastic (acetate, glass, . . . ) with small pieces ofsticky tape. Small sizes work sell: I cut up one 15×15 cm square to make 4 birds/fish.
