"I'm going to teach you how to make a classic origami piece here in America we call it a balloon but in Japan they call it a water bomb. Hi my name is Robert Segundo and we are going to take our piece of paper and fold it our water bomb. What we got here is we're going to go to what is, as you can see this is already pre-creased and this is what it's going to look like if you fold it and then unfold it. What we are going to do is we are going to make our water bomb base. And to do that you are going to take your paper and you are going to fold it into a triangle like so, open it back up and fold it this way into a triangle. And then basically fold it bring the sides in into you know our triangle like so, into the water bomb base. Now we're going to do is we are going to take our corners and just fold them up like so, and flip it over again, fold it up like so into our diamond shape. Now we're going to do is we are going to open this up and flip it like so and fold down our corners, actually lets just leave it on this side. Fold our corners in this way and this way and just take this bottom flap here, we're just going to fold it into our section like so. Same thing over here like so. Flip it over, fold these two corners down as well, tuck these in and fold that in as well. Now we're going to do is we are going to come over here and take into our open end here as you can see it's got the little hole in it like so, we are going to grab it and we are just going to blow into it. Well as you can see you can kind of pre-crease it a little bit, help it along it's way but there you go the Japanese water bomb or balloon. My name is Robert Segundo enjoy your origami."
