24. Mountain fold. Repeat on the back side.
25. Open flower overlapping the 5 petals slightly. I normally start by pinching open the front and back petal as far as possible along the indicated line.
26. Arrange the petals as close to a perfect star as possible before setting the creases.
Stamen: Use a 2x1 paper whose height is 1/2 the height of the blossom paper. (If
the blossom paper is 4x8 then the stamen paper is 2x4)

Begin with a square of between 15 and 20cm, with the white side faced up. Fold diagonally in half. 3.
Fold diagonally in half again, crease firmly, and unfold.
4.
Separate the two vertical edges on the right and squash fold. 5.
Turn the model over ...
6.
... and repeat Steps 3 and 4 on this side. Fold the lower diagonal edges to the centre, crease firmly, and unfold.
8.
7.
Lift the bottom corner of the first layer upwards while reverse folding the diagonal sides along the crease lines made in Step 6. 9. Fold down the triangular piece in the middle, crease firmly, and unfold. 10.
Turn model over
11.
12.
Separate the two diagonal edges on the right and squash fold ... 13.
... then swivel the first flap on the left to the right, and repeat Step 10 on the second flap on the left.
Fold down the flap at the back.
Grasp the paper at the circled positions and pull apart ...
14.
15.
... then push in the centre where the diagonal creases intersect and collapse the paper again along the existing mountain and valley fold lines. 16.
Your model should now look like this. Turn model over. 17.
Open out from the centre and fold the first two layers to each side. 19. 18.
Fold and unfold, creasing firmly.
Unfold model completely.
Recrease the indicated valley fold lines as mountain folds. This will make Step 20 easier.
20. 21.
Now collapse the paper again along the illustrated mountain and valley fold lines ...
... like this ...
22.
23.
Separate and draw the diagonal edge of the first layer of the flaps on each side towards the centre, then fold the corners at the sides to meet the top corner of each triangle. 24.
Fold as shown, crease firmly, and unfold.
25.
Petal fold, tucking the excess paper under the lowest corner of the triangular pieces above.
Fold the excess corners inwards, in line with the diagonal edge at the bottom.
26.
27.
28.
Fold up the lower triangular flaps and rabbit's ear fold the upper pieces ... 29.
... then rabbit's ear fold the lower pieces ...
... like this. Now turn the model over.
30.
31.
Fold the tip of the triangle to the intersecting crease lines as shown ..
... then fold this piece all the down from the horizontal mid-point of the model.
Fold the upper diagonal edges to the centre, crease firmly, and unfold, then rotate the paper clock wise through 90 degrees. 33.
32.
Fold and unfold on the left, as in Step 31.
Now bring the four diagonal edges to the centre as illustrated, Note the crimps in the centre.
34. 35.

The four vertical pieces will form the legs. Fold down the two on this side and repeat at the back.
36. 37.
Reverse fold on the right and left.
38. The point on the left will form the head and neck. Reverse fold slightly below the tip, then reverse fold again at the base of the tail piece on the right.
39. Mountain fold the both sides of the neck within itself, then valley fold both sides of the tail piece as illustrated. 40 Reverse fold the tail again.
Reverse fold the tips of all four legs within themselves as illustrated. 41.
42.
Now for the head. Inside reverse fold ... 43.
... then outside reverse fold ..
... like this, and the diploducs is done.
Dolphin
1. 2.
Note: Drawings are not drawn to scale. Follow the written directions in the first few steps closer than the diagrams.
Begin with a squre, same color on both sides. Crease the diagonals.
Fold to center and unfold. Rotate 90 degrees clockwise.
3.
4.
Fold up to intersection and unfold.
Fold up to the crease you just made. Unfold.
5.
6.
Valley fold so that the crease made in step 4 lies slightly above the one made in step 3.
Like so. Valley fold the top corner to meet the bottem one.
Dolphin, page two.
7.
8.
Valley fold the left so that a) The edges on top line up. b) The fold creates a 90 degree angle on bottom.
Valley fold to bisect lower angle. Unfold steps 7 and 8, and repeat them on the rights.
9.
10.
Valley fold the flap so that the edgesof the fold intersect the fold made in step 7 at a right angle.
Rabbit ear the shaded flap. This is the dorsal fin, so it's best to leave it pointing straight up. Fold the bottom flap underneath. Refold steps seven and eight. Mountain fold entire model in half lengthwise.
11.
Tail section.
Your model should look something like this. The next few steps will deal with the tail.
Dolphin, page three.
12.
13.
Inside reverse fold the shaded area down. There is a little triangle pointing up inside the dorsal fin. Reverse fold this along with the rest.
Inside reverse fold the shaded flap up.
14.
15.
Inside reverse fold the shaded flap down.
Reverse fold the tail, repeat behind.
16.
17.
Squash fold to form tail, repeat behind.
Top veiw of tail. Gently mountain fold to curve the ends.
Dolphin, page four.
18.
Tail section.
Squash fold.
19.
20.
Only the first and middle layers are shown. Valley fold down. 21.
Dorsal fin is not shown. Spread sink; the top of the spread should lie along the top edge of the midle of the model.
22.
This is the original diagonal crease.
Reverse fold a single layer up. There are no guidlines for this fold.
Bisect the corner of the flap you just folded up with a reverse fold. Steps 21 and 22 help separate the fin from the body.
Dolphin, page five. 22.
23.
Details of the fin. This is a judgement fold. The grey line is a mountain fold which lies along an edge. Swivel until angle "a" is about 80 degrees wide.
Inside reverse fold flap "b" to line up with edge "a". Mountain fold "c". Turn over.
24.
25.
Reverse fold.
Swivel in half. The gray is a mountain fold that lies on an edge. Turn over.
26.
27.
Reverse fold. This fold IS assymetrical.
Fold over and tuck into fin. Closed-sink the other end to narrow it.
28. Completed fin. Repeat steps 18-27 behind.
Dolphin, page six. 29. 30.
Your model should look something like this. The grey line is a valley fold. Tuck the triangle inside.
Another judgement fold; When the model is completed, you may adjust this step to taste. Sink the center and fold the side layers into the sink. Reverse fold the tip.
31.
32.
Now we're going to shape the head and make it three dimensional. The grey lines are mountain folds, the dotted line is a valley fold. Sink the top of the head into the bottom; the ides will puff out and the snout will form.
The head should look something like this. 32 a. 32.
33.
The grey lines are mountain folds. 32 a: Crimp the paper right by the fin to puff out and curve the body. The crimp should extend about half way up. You may want to sink the crimp in between the first and middle layer. 32: Shape the bottom of the body and the dorsal fin with gentle mountain folds. Repeat behind. Completed dolphin.
1. Begin with a dollar, green side up. Fold the it in half lengthwise, with the green side inside.
2. Unfold.
3. Fold the bottom left corner upward to lie on the horizontal center line. The crease should run through the upper left corner.
4. Like this. Turn the paper over from top to bottom.
5. Fold the left edge down to lie along the bottom edge.
6. Like this. Unfold completely, and turn the paper back over so that the green side faces up.
7. Repeat steps 36, but begin with the upper left corner rather than the lower left. When you have completed step 6 (unfolding the paper), don't turn it over again, but leave it white side up, with the creases to the left.
C
8. Push down point B (where the two diagonal creases cross) and bring points A and C toward each other. As you do this, bring the two left corners of the dollar toward each other and the two right corners toward each other, folding along the crease made in step 1, so that the white side is on the outside at each end.
C C
E A A D A
9. Pinch the left side of the model flat using the existing creases. Then, while holding edges AB and BC together, flatten out the rest of the model, forming new creases as necessary.
10. Fold the front lower right edge up to touch the two vertical edges; repeat behind.
11. Push corner A down so that it goes between corners D and E, using existing creases.
E D D A
B
12. The dotted line shows where corner A winds up. Now fold one of the upper right corners down along a diagonalthe exact amount isn't critical. Fold an equal amount down on the other flap (on the other side).
13. Hold flaps D and E together, and fold the back flap from the right side to the left, as if you were turning a page of a book facing away from you.
E D A
B
14. Fold flap D over to the right; in the process, corner A comes up, undoing step 11.
B
15. Fold the thick point at the bottom (point B) up to touch the junction of three creases in the middle of the green triangle; make a small crease, unfold, and turn the model over, keeping the point at the bottom.
B
16. Fold point B upward on the crease you just made (reversing its direction).
C D B E D E
DE
Fold point B back down to touch the bottom edge. 18. Carefully (because of the thickness) fold the model in half vertically. 19. Fold corner A (which is hidden inside the model) back down between corners D and E (as you did in step 11).
C A DE
20. The zig-zag corner at the right is the neck and head. Pinch the head between two fingers and pull it upward so that its left edge becomes vertical (look ahead to step 21 to see the result). Note that the creases that form touch corner A.
C A DE
21. Now, pinch the head near its beak and pull it upward, so that the bottom edge is nearly horizontal.
D
22. Take the nearest hidden point (point D) and fold it over to the right and downward as far as possible; the action is a combination of twisting and pulling. Repeat on the other side (point E).
D E E
23. Fold both of the legs (points D and E) in half to narrow them. This is difficult with small paper, and if you don't mind a fat-legged peacock, you can skip this step.
24. Fold a narrow strip of the back edge (the exact amount isn't critical) downward, tapering to a point where the paper gets thick.
25. Fold the same width of paper behind, folding over the first pleat you made.
26. Continue pleating the tail back and forth, making a fan. The exact amount isn't critical, but look at the next step for an idea of how far to go.
27. The tail consists of a double layer of pleats; separate the edges of the bottom of the tail and the layers of the pleats from each other. Working from the center, spread the tail out like a fan. Fold the tips of the legs forward to form feet.
28. The finished peacock.
