"A great way to impress your friends is by doing origami. And My name is Robert Segundo, and today I'm going to teach you how to do an origami penguin. Usually you would use white and black paper, but I'm using pink and brown; hey why not this is going to be kind of an out there penguin. So now, what we're going to do is, we're going to take our square paper, and we're just going to kind of fold it into a triangle, like so. We're going to open it back up. What we're going to do is, we're going to take and fold these edges into the center, like so. Same thing on this side here, like so. There we go. Now what we're going to do is, we're going to take, we're going to fold this guy back onto itself about half way. It's kind of hard to do here. There we go. The same thing over here. Just going to do a half way fold, like so. Of course this side I did it a lot easier. Now what we're going to do is, we're going to flip it over. And basically we're going to fold it down a little past a third of the way, somewhere along here. We want it to kind of be even with these two points here. So, we fold it like this. And then just take it, fold it back up just a little bit, like so. And then we're going to take it, fold it backwards in half like this; and lets readjust our point here, there we go. Now what we're going to do is, just grab this point here, we're just- kind of pull it until it pops. Kind of hold these points here and pull it until it pops forward, like so. Now what we're going to do is kind of rabbit ear fold it over, by opening it up, just kind of forcing it down over, like so. Just bring it down just a little bit more. There we go, like so. Now what we're going to do is, we're going to open it up, and fold this point in, up just a little bit, there we go, just fold it back over, there we go. Now our penguin will stand up right. And now we're just going to take- lets fold his wings over, like so. Same on the other side. And there you have it, your origami penguin. My name is Robert Segundo, and enjoy folding origami."
