I need help with a diagram I am new to origami and I have no idea what the steps 7-9 mean on this diagram

how do I fold this ?

it seems to be somehow like a rabit ear, or a reverse fold

i'll post pictures if you would like?

I would like that, Like i say am really new to origami so any help would be appreciated i'm just not sure what the fold is asking me to do.

Thanks.

sorry but my dad has lent his camera to his friend so i will make a video on my phone instead

edit: sorry about the quality and it is my first instructional video so forgive me

Ah...this model... I've made it several times but I always struggle with repeating steps 7-9 on the opposite side, backwards is difficult for me.

You know what I can't thank you enough, that is brilliant, I don't know whether i'm stupid or it's because i'm new to origami but the diagram I posted seems misleading or poorly presented. anyhoo THANKYOU so much.

I'm crap I need help again with this same model I don't understand how to fold steps 17-19 without crushing the paper . Any help please?

Posting another video

thank you, this place is great you are great let me know when it's on to view. thanks again.

I haven't folded it yet as I have just seen the vid but it seems so bloody obvious when you see someone fold it.

I really appreciate the help and effort, you're great but be warned I may be asking for your help yet again in the future.

hey we all have to start somewhere and i dont mind helping

Hello again, I have tried and I have tried again I keep trying and I can't do it, I don't understand what the folds are asking me to do, I think maybe I need to go back and learn about basic folds or something but I need to finish this model or I will explode.

Could you show me how to do it entirely then maybe point me in the direction of basic folds, or whatever I need, to be able to understand the instructions?

So far your instructional videos have been excellent and I have been able to fold the bloody thing like I invented it; once I realised what I was supposed to be doing. Please post a vid of the entire thing?

HELP PLEASE.......

sorry its taken me so long i have had a number of different things consuming my time but my half term starts on saturday and ill get it to you soon
