Origami Folds: Staring a Pig & Windmill

Video Transcript

"In this clip, I will show you how to fold the pig base, and the windmill base. For the pig base, fold your paper in half, and fold the paper in half again into a square. Open it back up, and we are going to fold this edge into the center crease. And do the same thing with the top edge. This is called a cupboard fold, because you are closing a cupboard. Now take this edge; fold it to the center crease, like so. And same thing on this side; fold it to the center crease, and the rectangle becomes a square. Open it back out to the rectangle. Note the first crease. This is where we are going to do a squash fold. So open the top two layers, up to this first crease. Open it; squash fold it down, making sure the center crease aligns with the bottom fold, and do this for all four corners."
