How to Make a Traditional Water Bomb Base

Video Transcript

"All our origami begins with several simple bases that were invented a long, long time ago. My name is Robert Segundo and today I'm going to teach you how to do the water bomb base. What we're going to do is we're going to take a square piece of paper. And if you don't have a square piece of paper 'cause they're really hard to come by, do like I do and just buy construction paper and make your own. To make the water bomb base what we're going to do is we're going to start off folding it in half like so. And always take your time doing this, 'cause these are the important parts. I always like to score mine just a little bit extra. So open it back up, take it and fold it down like so. Score it again. There we go. Do is open it back up, we're going to fold it in half like so. And as you can see my paper isn't totally square 'cause my corners aren't lining up, so open it back up. Fold it like so, there we go. Now what you're going to do is since you have this triangle here, what we're going to do is we're just going to take and fold it over, fold it back, fold it over again. And just kind of sink fold this piece here , so your piece looks like this on the inside. And that is your traditional water bomb base."
