Origami Folds: Whale Body

In this clip I will show you how to make the whale. This is a model that can be found in 'The Origami Handbook' by Rick Beech. Starting with your sheet of paper, color side down, we are going to fold it half on the horizontal so that we form a nice rectangle, edge to edge. Open it back up. Now with the color side up and the crease that we just made, up and down, we are going to take this triangle, this point and fold it down, so that the top edge aligns with the center crease. Kind of a like a paper airplane, when we fold the paper airplane. Do the same thing on this side. Top edge aligned to the center crease. Now take this point, and we are going to fold it back out so that it forms a 90 degree angle at this point. Fold it back out. Same thing on this side. Fold it back out. Now take this top point and we are going to fold it down to this point, fold it in half. This is the mouth of the whale. Fold this edge again down to the edge. Now take your entire unit and mountain fold it in half, like this. Take this section, this is the open part, take the folded part and fold it down so that this raw edge meets up with this raw edge on the bottom. You are folding a nice triangle right there. Nice triangle.
