| Text | This little Snake 1 is very friendly, and doesn't scare anyone! 1. Take a square sheet of paper, hold it in a horizontal position. 2. Bring the upper edge to the lower edge using a valley fold from bottom to top. We obtain a rectangle with two layers linked by an upper hinge edge. 3. Create a valley fold by bringing the lower edge of the upper flap over the hinge fold from the bottom to the top. Mark the fold. 4. Flip the fold from right to left. The rear rectangular flap is now in front. 5. Create a valley fold by bringing the lower edge of the upper flap up from the bottom to the hinge fold. Mark the fold. We now have a horizontal accordion, with two free single flaps, one in front and the otherbehind, inserting two flaps which are linked to them and linked themselves by a hinge fold. 6. Create a valley fold by bringing, from left to right, at 45¡, the lower left vertex of the double front flap to the upper edge of the rectangular shape. 7. Create a valley fold by bringing, from right to left, at 45¡, the lower right vertex of the double front flap to the upper edge of the rectangular shape. 8. Flip the fold from left to right. 9. Apply steps 6 and steps 7 to the front double rectangular flap. 10. Open the fold. We have a 6-sided shape, having two horizontal lower and upper edges connected by a left point and a right point. These two points are connected by a horizontal slot, joining two flaps of simple thickness. 11. Bring, using a valley fold from top to bottom, the upper horizontal edge over the slot. 12. Likewise, bring, using a valley fold from bottom to top, the lower horizontal edge over the slot. We have slimmed down the hexagonal shape of step 11, but we find the same elements. 13. Repeat step 11 and step 12 by applying them to the two lower and upper edges of the shape in step 10. 14. Close the fold with an up and down motion, using the slot line as a pivot. We obtain a very elongated, thick shape, ending on each side with a point at 45¡. 15. To obtain the neck, perform an outward reverse fold upwards through all layers. There is no guideline to find the right distance. It is better that the neck is slightly thrown back. 16. To create the head, perform an outside reverse fold to the left. There is no guideline to find the right distance. To find the right distance, we will help ourselves by the changes in thickness existing at the top of the neck. 17. Turn the neck to the left, making a valley fold on the body to the left at the neck. 18. Perform a succession of mountain and valley folds more or less close together to make the body undulate. The Snake 1 stands flat on its own, its head raised to observe the horizon! |
