Origami Horse Base: Part 1

Video Transcript

"In this clip I will show you how to make an origami horse. This is a model by Didier Boursin, and can be found in his book "Origami Paper Animals." The horse begins with a preliminary base, we are going to sink the top point of this preliminary base. Fold the triangle point down, just a little bit. And then we are going to sink this point. Open and reform the base as you go, and sink that point in. Mount and fold the edges of the square, and sink that point in. Now taking the raw edge of this top section, we are going to fold it so that it aligns with the center crease, like this. Same thing on all four sections. Raw edge to the center crease. Turn your unit to the other side and do the same thing with the two other two sections. Now open it back out to the preliminary base, unfold all those flaps that we just made, now we are going to take our scissors and cut along the center crease of the top layer of the paper. So let's cut. Now, we don't want to cut all the way to the end of this base, we are going to cut just to this point. Refold that so that we have a reference place where we are going to end our cut. We don't want to cut all the way down to the base, just to that point."
