The Origami Bird Base is a fundamental folding technique used in many origami creations, such as cranes and flapping birds.
It consists of a square base with two flaps on each side, resembling a bird with outstretched wings.
To create the Bird Base, you'll start with a square piece of paper, fold it diagonally and horizontally to create creases, and then perform a series of folds to form the base.
Once you've mastered the Bird Base, you can use it as a starting point for various origami projects, expanding your skills and creativity in the art of paper folding.

My Paper and Size: 10x10

00:00 This base is used to fold a lot of different origami birds including the paper crane and that's where it gets its name from. It's a very common base though and can also be used to fold all kinds of other things.
00:04 Step 1) Start with a square sheet of paper with the white side up. Fold it in half along the dotted line.
00:22 Step 2) Fold the paper in half again along the dotted line.
00:25 Step 3) Bring the top flap of paper up.
00:31 Step 4) Squash fold this flap of paper down. Make sure you keep both sides symmetrical. You should end up with a diamond shape.
00:46 Step 5) Turn the model over.
00:48 Step 6) Lift up the top left flap of paper to the middle.
01:00 Step 7) Squash fold this flap of paper down. Make sure you keep both sides symmetrical. You should end up with a diamond shape matching the one on the other side. You now have a Square Base.
01:14 Step 8) Fold the top right flap of paper to the centre along the dotted line.
01:24 Step 9) Crease this fold well and unfold it.
01:28 Step 10) Fold the top left flap of paper to the centre along the dotted line.
01:33 Step 11) Crease this fold well and unfold it.
01:38 Step 12) Fold the top of the model down along the dotted horizontal line. The end points of this horizontal line will line up with the tops of the creases on either side.
01:47 Step 13) Crease this fold well and unfold it.
01:52 Step 14) Petal Fold the top flap of paper up along the dotted line. There is already a crease here from the previous step.
01:58 Step 15) Continue lifting up the top flap of paper while folding in the sides along the existing creases.
02:04 Step 16) Push everything flat along the existing creases.
02:24 Step 17) The completed Petal Fold. Turn the model over.
