| Text | It is a very simple model, which is perfectly suited to emergency situations.
1. Take a rectangular sheet, hold it in a vertical position. A4 paper is perfect, but a double sheet of newspaper gives a good size. 2. Form a valley fold by bringing the top edge down to the bottom edge. Mark the fold. We obtain a new rectangle whose width is half that of the initial rectangle. The upper edge is double, the other three edges are made up of two free thicknesses. 3. Form a valley fold by bringing the left double edge to the right edge from left to right. Mark the fold. We obtain a rectangle of quadruple thickness, whose dimensions are half of the initial rectangle. This rectangle is made up of two double-thickness flaps of the same size, connected by the left edge. We can distinguish a front flap and a rear flap. On the left we have a single edge, on the top two double-thickness edges and on the right and at the bottom four free thicknesses. 4. Form a 45° valley fold by bringing the upper edge of the front flap to the left vertical edge. This operation folds the front right edge horizontally. There remains a margin between this folded edge and the bottom edge of the front flap. 5. Flip the fold from right to left. 6. Form a 45° valley fold by bringing, from top to bottom, the upper edge of the front flap on the right edge. This operation folds the left edge of the front flap horizontally. There remains a margin between this folded edge and the bottom edge of the rear flap. 7. Open the folding by bringing the rear flap from left to right. We obtain a symmetrical shape with 5 sides, having a point upwards. This form is made up of three parts: o a rear flap of double thickness with two edges forming the sides of the point, two small free edges and a large free edge. o two triangular flaps of double thickness, one side being common to one of the sides of the point, a second vertical side being adjacent to the homologous side of the other triangular flap and a third horizontal side formed of two free thicknesses. The long side, the two short sides of the rear flap and the two horizontal sides of the triangular flaps form a rectangle whose lower side is formed of two free thicknesses. 8. Form a valley fold by bringing the long lower front side along both horizontal sides. 9. Flip the fold from right to left. 10. Form a valley fold by folding the large front lower side up. The new fold is aligned with the fold of step 8. We obtain a quadruple thickness tip whose bottom is trapped on the two sides that we have just raised. 11. At each end, we fold, using 45° folds, the upper corners of each strip along the fold of the point which is behind for the front flap, in front for the rear flap. The result is a large triangle of quadruple thickness. The tip of the triangle (upwards) is formed at a greater angle (flatter) than the two angles of the lower points. 12. Open the shape slightly by sliding a finger inside. |
