| Text | This friendly snake is a good exercise for practicing inverted folds.
1. Hold a square sheet of paper in a diamond position. 2. Fold the vertical diagonal into a valley, from left to right. We obtain a triangular shape with a long vertical hinge fold, on the left. 3. Bring, using an oblique valley fold from right to left, the upper right edge of the upper triangular flap along the hinge fold. 4. Flip the fold from left to right. 5. Bring, using an oblique valley fold from left to right, the upper left edge of the upper triangular flap along the hinge fold. We have taken the first steps of the kite base. We're going to start again two more times. The vertical hinge fold is on the right. 6. Bring, using an oblique valley fold from left to right, the upper left edge of the upper triangular flap along the hinge fold. Fold through both layers and make sure the paper stays in place. 7. Flip the fold from right to left. 8. Bring, using an oblique valley fold from right to left, the upper right edge of the upper triangular flap along the hinge fold. The hinge fold is now on the left. 9. Bring, using an oblique valley fold from right to left, the upper right edge of the upper triangular flap along the hinge fold. Fold through all layers and make sure the paper stays in place. 10. Flip the fold from right to left. 11. Bring, using an oblique valley fold from left to right, the upper left edge of the upper triangular flap along the hinge fold. 12. Lay the fold flat, opening it around the hinge fold, so that the smooth side is underneath. We obtain a very elongated kite, very thick in the tapered part, with a single thickness on the side of the blunt tip. This will be the head of the serpent. 13. Close the model by folding it in half along the central axis of the kite. 14. Make an external reverse fold on the blunt tip side. The starting point is approximately a quarter of the longest length of the fold. There is no reference point. The result should give a point more or less perpendicular to the general line of the rest of the fold. 15. Bring, by an oblique valley fold starting from the hidden summit which marks the crossing of the long horizontal edge and the most external vertical edge, the latter edge along the horizontal edge. Mark, unfold. 16. Using the preparation folds just made, make an internal reverse fold on the vertical point. The tip is now folded along the body, towards the rear. The front of the fold now bears a sort of very thick triangle. 17. Bring, using an oblique valley fold, the lower edge of the point to the vertical edge of the left triangle. Mark, unfold. 18. Using the preparation folds just made, make an internal reverse fold on the horizontal point. The tip now appears to be in line with the vertical edge of the left triangle. 19. Using a valley fold from top to bottom passing through the upper vertex of the left triangle and perpendicular to the right side of the triangular tip, bring the upper edge of the latter onto the triangle. Mark, unfold. 20. Using the preparation folds just made, make an external reverse fold on the tip. The head is formed. We will create the folds of the body by a succession of reversed folds. 21. Starting at the head and progressing toward the tail, perform a series of reverse folds alternately downwards then upwards on the body to create the illusion of a waving snake. There are no reference points. We will simply try not to exceed the height of the head during downward folds, and to maintain a general direction almost horizontal for upward folds. Between 4 and 6 folds give a good idea of movement. 22. Shape the head and give a little sideways movement to the tail. Here is a pretty little snake which, although harmless, could well scare a few people! |
