Making Frog Base for Origami Edelweiss

Video Transcript

"We are going to go ahead and finish up our frog base here that we have started. As we look down you can see that I have folded all the sides. So now all we have is this one kite shape going on. What we are going to do is we are going to take this initial shape and as you can see I have it folded it a little dinky. Here we go. We are just going petal fold it like so. Cross it over here, here, open it up. Now these lines that we have created here are not going to create the initial petal fold at the correct petal fold. What we are going to have, we are going to have to do is take our long sides down here and place them down first. They would fold right together like that and we just have to work this out just a little bit knowing that our flat line is going to be right here. We have already created our 2 creases here; our 2 point creases. We are going to fold it like so to a kite shape and just take this tip and fold it back down. "
