| Text | Here is a pretty stylized kangaroo, made from two sheets of paper. One allows you to fold the head, neck and front legs, the other allows you to create the tail and rear legs. 1. Prepare a 4-band accordion, open it and place it flat in a 'horizontal' position, with the two flaps free on top. We have a shape composed of a rectangular flap bordered by two hinged folds which each link a rectangular flap. These two rectangular flaps are joined, and are separated by a slot. 2. Create, through all the layers, a 45¡ oblique valley fold by bringing the upper edge of the upper left corner of the rectangle over the slit. To mark. 3.Create, through all the thicknesses, a 45¡ oblique valley fold by bringing the upper edge of the lower left corner onto the slit. To mark. The lower edges of the two triangular flaps that have just been folded draw a straight line. 4. Bring, by a vertical valley fold from left to right based on the line drawn by the two triangular flaps, the left point on the middle slot. Unfold. This amounts to making a valley fold in the left quarter of the starting shape. 5. Unfold the two triangular flaps. 6. Bring the left end of the rectangle vertical, using the valley fold in the left quarter of the shape. 7. Using the oblique folds of step 5 and step 6, flatten the vertical part. We obtain a pentagonal shape with a double-thick point to the left and two double-thick points to the right. 8. Bring the two right points up to the left. 9. Flip the fold up and down. 10. Using a valley fold from right to left, bring the right edge of the pentagon over the left point. The longitudinal slot must arrive exactly at the end of the tip. 11. Using a vertical valley fold from left to right, mark the middle of the top double flap. Just pinch the ends of the fold. 12. Using the mark made in the middle of the top flap, create a valley fold from left to right at the right quarter of the top flap. We obtain a fold which reveals the tip of the pentagon on the left. 13. Using a valley fold, bring the upper horizontal edge of the pentagon onto the middle horizontal fold. Unfold. The fold is made through all thicknesses. In practice, you must try to stop the valley fold at the height of the fold, without folding the point itself. 14. Using a 45¡ oblique valley fold, bring the upper corner of the fold onto the valley fold that has just been constructed. Mark well, unfold. 15. Bring the upper left edge (single thickness) over the middle fold, flattening the upper corner of the fold over the existing oblique folds. This amounts to thinning the top flap. 16. Using a valley fold, bring the bottom horizontal edge of the pentagon onto the middle horizontal fold. Unfold. 17. Using a 45¡ oblique valley fold, bring the lower corner of the fold onto the valley fold that has just been constructed. Mark well, unfold. 18. Bring the bottom left edge (single thickness) over the middle fold, flattening the bottom corner of the fold over the existing oblique folds. We now have a shape made up of a point on the left and a fairly narrow strip on the right. 19. Fold the object in half, with a valley fold passing through the horizontal median axis of the shape. We obtain, on the left a triple point followed on the right by a square-shaped part, then again on the right by a finer rectangular part. 20. Make an oblique preparation fold, through the first layer, using a valley fold passing through the upper left vertex and the lower right vertex of the square part. Unfold. The flap cannot be completely folded. Go as far as possible, a kind of pocket is formed. 21. Flip the fold from right to left. The three points are now on the right. 22. Make an oblique preparation fold, through the first layer, using a valley fold passing through the upper right vertex and the lower left vertex of the square part. Unfold. 23. Using an exterior reverse fold resting on the previous preparation folds, turn the part with the three points upwards. The tips are now trapped inside what we just turned over. We have, on the left, a parallelogram resembling a diamond and forming two flaps which trap two points. 24. Make a preparation fold by bringing, through a valley fold, the upper edge of the upper parallelogram flap to its lower edge. Unfold. The flap cannot be completely folded. Go as far as possible, a kind of pocket is formed. 25. Flip the fold from right to left. The points are now on the left. 26. Make a preparation fold by bringing, through a valley fold, the upper edge of the upper parallelogram flap to its lower edge. Unfold. The flap cannot be completely folded. Go as far as possible, a kind of pocket is formed. 27. Using an exterior inverted fold from top to bottom resting on the folds just made, release the trapped points. We obtain three points. The middle one will form the snout of the animal, the other two the ears. 28. Form the ears by a fold created by a valley fold towards the back, then another valley fold towards the front. Ears should point upwards. 29. Form the front legs using two valley folds. There are no landmarks. The two legs, very small, will point forward. We can improve by making a reverse fold for each. The first part is finished. Body folding 1. Prepare a 4-band accordion, open it and place it flat in a 'horizontal' position, with the two flaps free on top. We have a shape composed of a rectangular flap bordered by two hinged folds which each link a rectangular flap. These two rectangular flaps are joined, and are separated by a slot. 2. Create, through all the layers, a 45¡ oblique valley fold by bringing the upper edge of the upper left corner of the rectangle over the slit. To mark. 3.Create, through all the thicknesses, a 45¡ oblique valley fold by bringing the upper edge of the lower left corner of the rectangle over the slit. To mark. The lower edges of the two triangular flaps that have just been folded draw a straight line. 4. Bring, by a vertical valley fold from left to right based on the line drawn by the two triangular flaps, the left point on the middle slot. Unfold. This amounts to making a valley fold in the left quarter of the starting shape. 5. Unfold the two triangular flaps. 6. Looking inside the fold, pull upwards the tip hidden under the upper left part of the folded flap. We obtain a point which protrudes above the rectangular part. 7. Looking inside the fold, pull down the point hidden under the lower left part of the folded flap. We obtain a point which protrudes below the rectangular part. 8. Flip the fold up and down. The two points that protrude from the rectangular part are always on the left. 9. Using a 45¡ valley fold, bring, from right to left, the upper right corner of the rectangular shape onto the middle fold. 10. Using a 45¡ valley fold, bring the lower right corner of the rectangular shape from right to left onto the middle fold. We now have a large point on the right side, which we are going to sharpen. 11. Bring, using an oblique valley fold, the upper right edge of the right point to the middle fold. Be careful to hold the paper in place. 12. Bring, using an oblique valley fold, the lower right edge of the right point to the middle fold. The right part is now more pointed. 13. Bring, using an oblique valley fold, the upper left edge of the left point to the right edge of the same point. Be careful to hold the paper in place. 14. Bring, using an oblique valley fold, the lower left edge of the left point to the right edge of the same point. There is a slight overlap in the center of the new tip. 15. Fold the shape obtained in half, using a valley fold passing through the longitudinal axis of the part. We obtain a shape composed of a vertical part which will represent the rear legs, and a horizontal part which will form the tail. 16. Form the feet using an inverted fold at the bottom of each vertical part. Part two is finished. Assembly 1. Slightly open the first part (head). If we follow the thin part until we meet the body, we notice that there is a pocket there. 2. Slide the left slightly pointed part of the second part into the pocket of the first part. The folding is complete, and the kangaroo is ready to pounce. |
