1. Fold in half and unfold
White side up. Fold the bottom edge to the top edge and unfold, then fold the left edge to the right edge and unfold.
2. Turn over
Turn over so the coloured side is up.
3. Fold both diagonals
Fold one corner to the opposite corner to make a triangle, then unfold. Repeat on the other diagonal.
4. Collapse into a square base
Turn the paper so a corner points down. Using the creases, bring the top, left and right corners down to the bottom corner and flatten.
5. Squash the right flap
Lift the top right flap upright, open its two layers and press it flat so its folded edge lies on the centre line. A coloured triangle shows above a white one.
6. Turn over and squash
Turn the model over. Squash the top right flap the same way.
7. Turn a layer, then squash
Turn the top right layer over to the left like a page. Squash the flap that is now on the right.
8. Squash the last flap
Turn over, turn one layer from right to left and squash the last flap. Every side now shows a coloured triangle above a white one.
9. Crease for the petal fold
Fold the two lower edges of the top layer to the centre line and unfold. Then fold the whole top down along the line joining the ends of those creases, and unfold.
10. Petal fold
Lift the coloured layer below the horizontal crease upwards. Its sides swing in to the centre line, and the lower edges of the white layer underneath fold in along the creases. Flatten: a small diamond appears.
11. Turn over; petal fold
Turn over. Crease the two lower edges on this side too, then petal fold the same way.
12. Turn two layers; petal fold
Turn two layers from right to left to show a side that is not folded yet. Crease it and petal fold.
13. Petal fold the last side
Turn over, turn two layers from right to left and petal fold the last side. This is the frog base.
14. Lower the small flap
Fold the small diamond flap down at its horizontal crease.
15. Lower the back flap
Turn over and lower the small flap on this side too.
16. Turn two layers; lower the flap
Turn two layers from right to left and lower the newly exposed small flap.
17. Lower the last small flap
Turn over, turn two layers from right to left, and lower the last small flap.
18. Reverse the first corner inward
Turn one layer from right to left to expose a long corner. Pinch the two sides of the long pointed corner together. Reverse its tip inward between its own layers at the horizontal crease, then spread its sides again.
19. Reverse the back corner
Turn over and turn one layer from right to left. Pinch the two sides of the long pointed corner together. Reverse its tip inward between its own layers at the horizontal crease, then spread its sides again.
20. Reverse the third corner
Turn two layers from right to left. Pinch the two sides of the long pointed corner together. Reverse its tip inward between its own layers at the horizontal crease, then spread its sides again.
21. Reverse the last corner
Turn over and turn two layers from right to left. Pinch the two sides of the long pointed corner together. Reverse its tip inward between its own layers at the horizontal crease, then spread its sides again.
22. Spread the four sides
Separate the layers into four pairs like the pages of a book. Keep the closed tip together and space the pairs evenly in four directions.
23. Open the bell
Ease opposite sides of the mouth apart. Let the inner folds open and turn outward, spreading all four points. A hollow bell forms between them.
Press play, then follow along with your paper.
1. Fold in half and unfold
White side up. Fold the bottom edge to the top edge and unfold, then fold the left edge to the right edge and unfold.
Tip:
Ta-da! You made it!
Your paper became something wonderful. Fold it again, or meet your next paper friend.
Shape the flower
- Space the four points evenly and settle the small inner folds to make a neat bell-shaped mouth.
