Origami Folds: Fish Base

"In this clip I will show you how to fold the fish base. Starting with a kite base, we are going to fold. Open them, open the folds that we just made back up, and do the same thing on the other side. So it might help to turn the paper one eighty degrees. Fold the edge to the center, like we did before with the kite base; same thing on this side. Open it back up. Now fold the paper in half, so that it intersects the middle diagonal. Now if you open it back up, you will note that you have the intersecting lines for a rabbit ear fold. We are going to do a rabbit ear fold on both sides. So, first let's do this side. Pinch the third fold together to the base where all the creases intersect.
