Stretching Out Small Diamond Shape for an Origami Orchid

Video Transcript

"Now we're going to go ahead and finish up what we started. If you look down here on our table, you've got this small diamond shape that we've created here. What we're going to do is we're just going to grab the tip of it right here. I'm just going to pull it open. As we pull it open, it's going to stretch out these pieces right here. If it doesn't stretch them out, then there's been a misfold somewhere, so you have to go back and reexamine where it was you folded. It should just open up really easy. Once it opens it up easy like that, what we're going to do is we're going to kind of grab the edges here. Flare it open even more. Just kind of bring this top down and press it down here. As you can see, it's all starting to get all. This thick paper tends to bunch up a lot more than the origami paper does. Bring it down. It's kind of a shield shape that we've created here. This is the part that we're going to use, which is going to be that holds the water in the golden slipper. Leaving it like so. Just leave it like that."
