"In this clip I will show you how to fold a heart coaster. This is a design by Francis Ow, and it can be found in "The Origami Handbook", by by Rick Beech. So, this model requires two units. So this is already folded, and we are going to fold the second unit. Each unit begins with a pig base. This is a pig base. Now with this pig base, we are going to fold this triangle to the back, and allow these flaps to come out to the right-hand side. Same thing on this side; fold this triangle to the back, and allow this these triangles to come out to the side. Now we are going to fold this edge to the center. Now we're not going to crease the whole thing. We're just going to mark a little mark, and we have that mark, and we are going to fold the bottom edge up to that mark, just like that. Same thing on the other on the top edge; fold that to the center, make a center mark, and then fold the top edge to that mark. Now for each of these triangles, we are going to fold the edge down. Fold this edge down so that this little triangle right here is divided in half, like that. This edge meets up with this bottom edge right here."
