| Text | Useful base because it allows you to create animals and flowers. It is derived from the preliminary base, and requires making flattened folds and petal folds
First step of a frog base 1. Start with the preliminary base, oriented free ends downwards. To facilitate the formation of the petal folds from step 16 to step 20, it is recommended to start by making a blintz base, then completely unfold the result to make a preliminary base. The additional oblique folds are not involved in the creation of the preliminary base. This passage through a blintz base is of no use if we are only interested in the first stage of the base of the frog. 2. Form a valley fold by bringing the upper right edge of the right front flap over the vertical middle fold. Unfold. Fold over the same fold in the other direction. Unfold. 3. Raise the right part of the front flap vertically. Slide a finger inside the triangular pocket to open it. Flatten it using the folds made in the previous step. The flattened flap transforms into a front triangle to which are connected, by two hinged edges, two small triangles (one left and one right) of which part is hidden and part is visible below the lower edge of the front triangle. The whole forms a symmetrical quadrilateral in relation to a vertical median axis, with a long sharp point upwards and a short point downwards. 4. Flip the fold from left to right. 5. Form a valley fold by bringing the upper right edge of the right front flap over the vertical middle fold. Unfold. 6. Raise the right part of the front flap vertically. Slide a finger inside the triangular pocket to open it. Flatten it using the folds made in the previous step. 7. Rotate the small left front flap from left to right along the center vertical axis. 8. Rotate the left front flap from left to right along the center vertical axis. 9. Form a valley fold by bringing the upper right edge of the right front flap over the vertical middle fold. Unfold. 10. Raise the right part of the front flap vertically. Slide a finger inside the triangular pocket to open it. Flatten it using the folds made in the previous step. 11. Flip the fold from right to left. 12. Rotate the small left front flap from left to right along the center vertical axis. 13. Rotate the left front flap from left to right along the center vertical axis. 14. Form a valley fold by bringing the upper right edge of the right front flap over the vertical middle fold. Unfold. 15. Raise the right part of the front flap vertically. Slide a finger inside the triangular pocket to open it. Flatten it using the folds made in the previous step step 14. We obtain a diamond shape with a closed point elongated upwards and a shorter point formed by 4 small free points distributed 2 by 2 around the vertical axis. Make four petal folds 16. Rotate the left front flap from left to right along the center vertical axis. The front flap is shaped like a quadrilateral and has a free tip at the bottom and a fixed elongated tip at the top. 17. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower right edge of the front flap from right to left on the vertical center line (oblique fold). Unfold. 18. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower left edge of the front flap from left to right on the vertical center line (oblique fold). Unfold. 19. Slip a finger under the lower edge of the triangle, lift while monitoring the fold along the two side points: you must use the preparatory folds made in the two previous steps. Fold the bottom edge completely upwards, ensuring that a 45¡ fold forms on each side flap, so that you have a short upward point. 20. Make a petal fold on each of the other three flaps, starting again from step 16 to step 19. The result is the base of the frog, which has 4 long points facing down, 4 more shorter triangular points facing up in the middle of the object, and a single long point facing up. |
