| Text | We still talk about blintz base, which means: mille-feuille. The blintz base allows you to form additional flaps by doubling the thickness of the sheet. 1. Take a square sheet of paper. If it is two-tone, put the main color underneath. Hold it in a 'horizontal' position. 2. Form a valley fold by bringing the right edge to the left edge from right to left. We obtain a vertical rectangle comprising two free rectangular flaps linked by a hinge fold located on the right. 3. Form a 45¡ valley fold by bringing, from top to bottom to the right, the upper left apex of the front flap over the hinge fold, ensuring that the upper edge of the front flap is placed along the hinge edge. 4. Form a 45¡ valley fold by bringing, from bottom to top to the right, the lower left apex of the front flap over the hinge fold, ensuring that the lower edge of the front flap is placed along the hinge edge . The initial rectangular flap is now transformed into a triangular flap carrying two small triangular flaps which are edge to edge. 5. Flip the fold from right to left. 6. Form a 45¡ valley fold by bringing, from top to bottom to the left, the upper left apex of the front flap over the hinge fold, ensuring that the upper edge of the front flap is placed along the hinge edge . 7. Form a 45¡ valley fold by bringing, from bottom to top to the left, the lower left apex of the front flap over the hinge fold, ensuring that the lower edge of the front flap is placed along the hinge edge. We now have a triangular shape of quadruple thickness, composed of two flaps linked by a vertical hinge fold located on the left. These two flaps each carry two triangular flaps/ 8. Open the fold using the hinge edge and leaving the small triangular flaps in place. The result is the blintz base, which is a square of double thickness, half the size of the original square. It has a square rear flap and four free triangular flaps, each attached to the previous square by a hinge fold which delimits one of the sides of the square. The vertices of the four triangular flaps meet in the center of the bottom square. |
