the other white.
Santa Top 1. Prepare a kite base, with the red color on the outside. Place it sharp point at the top, smooth side below. We obtain a shape with an acute point carrying two triangular flaps and an obtuse point of simple thickness. 2. Fold the kite in two using the fold which joins the acute vertex to the obtuse vertex, making a valley fold which will trap the two triangular flaps. We obtain a triangular shape with a very thick acute point (4 thicknesses) directed upwards, and another less acute point, of double thickness, directed downwards. We assume the hinge fold located on the right. 3. Bring, using a valley fold, the lower left edge of the upper flap along the hinge fold. Watch the tip carefully when making this fold. 4. Flip the fold from right to left. 5. Bring, using a valley fold, the lower right edge of the upper flap along the hinge fold. Watch the tip carefully when making this fold. 6. Open the fold along the fold connecting the two sharp points We obtain a diamond which carries, on one side two free triangular flaps, on the other two flaps with 4 sides of which only one vertex is free. Lay the sheet so that the side with the two free flaps is underneath, the thickest point facing up. 7. Fold the lower point towards the upper point, making a valley fold passing a little below the imaginary line which joins the two sides of the diamond. There is no benchmark. For a 21x21 sheet, 5 millimeters is enough. Align the point that is folded on the line that joins the tops of the two points. 8. Using a valley fold, fold the tip of the upper flap downwards. There is no benchmark. For a 21x21 sheet, a good centimeter is enough. Align the point that is folded on the line that joins the tops of the two points. It is necessary to analyze the folding carefully, and identify: - the large rear triangular flap, which carries a four-sided flap, coming from a triangular flap whose tip was folded forward in step 8. - this 4-sided flap carries two symmetrical flaps separated by a slot between the two, a slot which widens towards the bottom of the fold and ends at two symmetrical points on the median line. These two points are a little far from the vertices of the base of the large triangular flap. We will call the left point A and the right point B. - the small triangular flap carried by the 4-sided flap is delimited by a vertex going downwards and two other vertices which delimit the hinge fold of step 8. We will call the left vertex C and the right vertex D. 9. Bring part of the left flap outwards by making a valley fold between points A and C, opening the left part of the small triangular flap. We obtain a fold which extends slightly over the left exterior of the large triangular flap and which has transformed the left part of the small triangle into a quadrilateral. 10. Bring part of the right flap outwards by making a valley fold between points B and D, opening the right part of the small triangular flap. We obtain a fold which slightly overflows onto the right exterior of the large triangular flap and which has transformed the left part of the small triangle into a quadrilateral. The small triangular flap has been transformed into a pentagon, with a free point pointing towards the bottom of the fold. This is the future beard! 11. Fold the bottom of the shape with a valley fold passing through the two lower left and right vertices of it. 12. Fold the top of the tip of the large triangular flap downwards, making a valley fold resting on the top of the future beard. Make sure that the tip will align perfectly with the center line of the fold. We obtain a triangular flap whose tip is directed downwards. 13. Create a fold by folding up part of the point you have just created. There is no benchmark. A few millimeters are enough. Carefully monitor the alignment of the tip with the center line of the fold. 14. Flip the fold from right to left. 15. Fold the fold in half with a valley fold passing through the middle fold. Santa Claus is starting to take shape. We recognize the very long and pointed hat and the beard, all on the future upper body. 16. Shift the beard and the cap by rotating them slightly. You must hold the fold well below the neck and tilt the beard to one side and the hat to the opposite side. The hood and the legs. 1. Prepare a kite base, place it smooth side up and sharp point upwards. We obtain a shape with 4 sides. 2.Fold the bottom triangle of single thickness upwards with a valley fold passing through the two left and right vertices of the shape. We obtain a triangular shape. 3. Flip the fold from left to right. We have a triangular shape carrying two free triangular flaps, one side of which runs along the bottom of the large triangular shape. 4. Fold the bottom of the left triangle along the left side of the large triangle, using a valley fold from the bottom left vertex of the large triangle. 4. Fold the bottom of the right triangle along the right side of the large triangle, using a valley fold from the bottom right apex of the large triangle. 5. Flip the fold from left to right. We have a large triangle with a large triangular point in its lower part. 6. Fold the triangular shape in half with a valley fold passing through the middle fold of the shape. We obtain a triangular shape with a very sharp point upwards. This shape carries on each side a triangular flap which carries another smaller triangular flap. A small hinge fold extends from the bottom corner of the triangular shape to join the large hinge fold which was used to fold the initial triangular shape in half. 7. Make a preparation fold by folding the bottom of the triangular shape into a valley along the small hinge fold. Fold back and forth several times. 8. Make a reverse fold to make the part that you have just delimited disappear inside the fold. We obtain a triangular shape with two very sharp points. One of these two points is in fact made up of two relatively short points, the future legs. The other tip is longer, and is unique. It will create the hood. Assembly 1. Slide the hood-leg part inside the Santa body, placing the small bottom side (the legs) deep inside the body. There is no marker. You must place your legs at the bottom of the body, and find a position such that the future hood protrudes well towards the top of the body. A good position is to place the upper left side of the hood at the height of the fold of Santa's hat. Santa Claus' body protrudes from the long fold which forms the back of the hood, with two very thick points. 2. Fold the two protruding points of the body inside the hood-leg fold, resting on the long outer edge of the hood-leg part. This will hold the body and the leg hood together. The two tips are very thick, and not easy to fold. 3. Make an inverted fold towards the back to form the top of the hood. There is no benchmark. 4. Make a new inverted fold upwards to form the bottom of the hood. There is no benchmark. We now have a first version of Santa Claus. The next two steps are optional, and only serve to make your legs look prettier. 5. Make two reverse folds towards the back to form each of the legs. There is no benchmark. 6. Repeat a reverse fold forward on each leg, to form the feet. |
