How to fold by hand

The following methods need to be practiced in origami.

1. Square handmade paper is folded in half along the center line to form a rectangle, and then folded in half along the center line of the rectangle to form a small square. The small square pulls up a corner, opens the erected part and presses it.

2. Turn the whole paper over. Use the same square to pull up the other corner of the small square, open the erected part and press it down, so that the whole paper becomes a triangle.

3. Take a corner and stand up along the center line. Open it and press it. The left side of the diamond is folded to the right along the center line, then the paper is turned over, and all the protruding corners are folded outward to form obvious creases.

4. Fold the protruding corner into the umbrella, take out the prepared rectangular paper, roll it up from one side, roll it into a cylinder, and stick the end with double-sided tape.

5. One end of the umbrella handle is slightly bent to form an arc. Cut off the top of the umbrella cover with scissors, insert the round end of the umbrella handle into the finished umbrella cover and stick it with double-sided tape.
