| Text | This rather stylized rabbit is based on a modification of the folding of the water bomb. A small variation and, when you blow, a rabbit magically appears! Fold half of a water bomb 1. Start at one waterbomb base, hold it with the tip of the triangle facing up. 2. Raise the left front flap vertically to locate the central axis. 3. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower right apex of the right front flap from right to left and upwards onto the apex of the triangular shape. Mark the fold well. The lower right part of the front flap aligns along the line marked by the bottom of the raised flap. Pay close attention to the fold that forms at the bottom at the level of the raised flap. 4. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower left apex of the left front flap from left to right and upwards onto the apex of the triangular shape. Mark the fold well. The lower left part of the front flap aligns itself along the line marked by the flap folded in the previous step. Pay close attention to the fold that forms at the bottom at the level of the raised flap. 5. Flip the fold from right to left. 6. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower right apex of the right front flap from right to left and upwards onto the apex of the triangular shape. Mark the fold well. You can help yourself with the lower right side of the right rear flap. The lower right part of the front flap aligns along the line marked by the bottom of the raised flap. Pay close attention to the fold that forms at the bottom at the level of the raised flap. 7. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower left apex of the left front flap from left to right and upwards onto the apex of the triangular shape. Mark the fold well. You can help yourself with the lower left side of the left rear flap. The lower left part of the front flap aligns itself along the line marked by the flap folded in the previous step. Pay close attention to the fold that forms at the bottom at the level of the raised flap. The triangular shape has been transformed into a square shape arranged in a diamond shape. There is a closed point at the bottom and at the top two sharp free points hiding a closed point which again hides two sharp free points. 8. Form a valley fold by bringing the upper right front point up and down over the lower point. Do not mark the fold except in the center of the square. Unfold. We tried to locate the middle of the axis which passes through the upper and lower points of the diamond. 9. Form a valley fold by bringing the right tip of the right front flap from right to left to the midpoint that you have just identified. Strongly mark the fold. This fold is made through four layers. It is therefore necessary to accompany him carefully when putting the tip in place. 10. Form a valley fold by bringing the left tip of the right front flap from left to right to the midpoint that you have just identified. Strongly mark the fold. In practice, simply bring the left point opposite the right point folded in the previous step. 11. Flip the fold from left to right. 12. Apply the operations from step 8 to step 10 to the two triangular flaps. In practice, just use the vertical edges of the previous folds to make the task easier. We ultimately obtain a shape with six sides, two of which are vertical, with a closed point at the bottom and two sharp free points at the top hiding a closed point which again hides two sharp free points. The shape is made up of four flaps, each of which carries an extra thickness of a triangular shape having a vertical edge and a vertex turned towards the median axis. 13. Form a valley fold by bringing, as low as possible, the upper right point of the right front flap. The valley fold rests on the upper edge of the right triangle. We obtain a triangle of double thickness which extends to the right of the six-sided shape. The bottom edge of the triangle is horizontal. 14. Form a valley fold by bringing from right to left the point which protrudes over the top of the triangle in excess. The hinge fold thus formed is vertical, aligned with the right vertical edge of the shape. We now have a small triangular flap of thickness 4 which pivots from bottom to top along the upper edge of the right triangle. 15. Slide the small triangular flap into the hidden pocket inside the extra thickness triangle. We start the operation again with the other three flaps. 16. Form a valley fold by bringing the upper left point of the left front flap as low as possible. The valley fold rests on the upper edge of the left excess triangle. We obtain a triangle of double thickness which protrudes to the left of the six-sided shape. The bottom edge of the triangle is horizontal. 17. Form a valley fold by bringing from left to right the point which protrudes over the top of the triangle in excess. The hinge fold thus formed is vertical, aligned with the left vertical edge of the shape. We now have a small triangular flap of thickness 4 which pivots from bottom to top along the upper edge of the left excess triangle. 18. Slide the small triangular flap into the hidden pocket inside the excess triangle. We are now halfway through folding the waterbomb. Form the rabbit's head and ears 19. Return the fold. We must have a triangular shape that we hold point upwards. This shape is made up of the two lower flaps of the waterbomb base. 20. Raise the left triangular flap vertically. 21. Bring, by an oblique valley fold from right to left starting from the top of the closed point, the right edge of the right triangular flap along the raised flap. The edge comes in a vertical position along the middle vertical valley fold. 22. Bring, by an oblique valley fold from left to right starting from the top of the closed point, the left edge of the left triangular flap along the median vertical valley fold. We obtain a complex object, formed at the back of the half water bomb, at the front of a kite created by the two flaps that have just been folded. The series of edges which starts to the right of the closed point forms a broken line with a first vertex coming out of the general shape, then a second returning vertex, which must be identified. This is also true on the left. 23. Bring the lower right edge of the right triangular flap horizontally, by an oblique valley fold from bottom to top starting from the middle right vertex of this same flap and passing through the re-entrant vertex of the broken line which goes towards the right of the tip closed. The tip that has just been folded protrudes well beyond the shape hidden underneath. 24. Bring the lower left edge of the left triangular flap horizontally, by an oblique valley fold from bottom to top starting from the middle left vertex of this same flap and passing through the re-entrant vertex of the broken line which goes towards the left of the tip closed. For the rest of the operations, you must locate the vertical valley fold which starts from the closed tip and which ends in the middle of the lower edge of the shape. This point demarcates the right and left parts of the lower edge. 25. Bring, by an oblique valley fold from bottom to top and from left to right, the right part of the lower edge along the vertical valley fold. The fold starts from the midpoint of the bottom fold. We can go slightly beyond the vertical valley fold to the left. 26. Bring, by an oblique valley fold from bottom to top and from right to left, the left part of the lower edge along the vertical valley fold. The fold starts from the midpoint of the bottom fold. We can go slightly beyond the vertical valley fold to the right. 27. Gently insert part of the left flap into the right flap, while starting to open the fold. 28. Blow strongly inside the fold using the hole hidden in the closed tip. 29. Shape both ears. This rabbit, quickly folded, is a traditional Chinese model. It will entertain young and old. |
