Okie Dokely let's do this.
Step 10. Pinch the three lines into mountain folds.
10a. As you pinch the middle fold push upward and the triangle at the top will naturally form a valley fold along its base and fold up.
10b. Press lightly on the sides after the triangle is folded up and the niddle part you were pinching should now be its own flap so fold that over to the right. Repeat on the back
Step 10 completed
Fold the left flap over to the right.
Make a valley fold on the bottom corner of the flap that you just folded over so that is matches the flap that lies beneath it.
The two flaps
Fold the flap back to the left and change the valley crease you made into two mountain creases, one for each side of the flap, and sink that area into the model.
Now if you lift up the middle flap you can see the area that you sunk into the model and there a little bit hanging over the middle. Fold that over so you can see the middle of the middle flap clealy. This will make folding easier ad that little bit will block you from moving the flaps around.
Completed. Now repeat this sink process on the remaining three flaps.
.. the tips of my paper don't meet. i tried folding it a few times, even measuring the lines with a ruler, but still they don't meet. i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.. am i just not accurate enough?
, with models that are in the most part, somewhat more complex than the orchid diagrammed throughout the book. in other words, try a book that you can actually fold the models in for a change.
