How to Make an Origami Blintz Base

Video Transcript

"All origami begins from simple bases and my name is Robert Segundo and today I'm going to teach you how to make the blintz base. If you look down here you can see we have a square paper here on the table, and what we're going to do is basically we're just going to take it and we're going to grab it and this is called a sheet fold or shawl fold, I've known it as a sheet fold when people call it by shawl fold. There we go. So what we're going to do is open it up, we're going to do the same thing over here. We have this, what we're going to do is open this back up, and we're just going to take these points and pull them towards the center, and ... this is pretty much it. This is your blintz base right here. And this starts all kinds of origami and it's also used in making other bases such as if you're going to go ahead and make your pig base, this is one of the starting points into it, so there it is, play around with it, have fun, and enjoy."
