| Octa-ConVase variations folded with same procedures |
You have seen some members of the Octa-ConVase family, lets now try folding the "standard Octa-ConVase".
By "standard Octa-ConVase", I take into account its aesthetic appearance and general useability, as well as technical issues in the designing of the folding procedures.
A tall ConVase with a small base is nice for display, while one with a big opening and wide base is most suited as a waste collector on the dinner table. Opinions differ and it all depend on the actual purposes of the finished product. We will look at folding the variances in future.
Step 1
Prepare an Origami Square Base.
(Please refer to the article - "The Foundation Of Origami ConVase - The Square Base", in this blog for folding instructions).
With the open-tips facing up mark a vertical line and horizontal line. I shall call this Vertical Central Line (VCL) and Horizontal Central Line (HCL) respectively.

Step 2
Bring the bottom closed-tip to touch the HCL, crease and unfold. This forms your octa-base.
Step 3
Bring the right corner to touch the VCL, align the edge of the paper along VCL towards the bottom tip. Crease.
Step 4
Seperate the two layers of paper from the creased line, bring one side to the left and crash fold. Now your model should look like this:
Step 5
Flip and cover the visible triangle.
Step 6
Flip the paper to reveal the HCL at the back which now appears slanting, and align it precisely with the cross at the centre of the paper. Crease to form a line from the end point of the octa-base created in step 2.
Step 7
Unfold.
Bring corner to line formed in Step 6, align edge of paper along the line towards the octa-base, creased.
Step 8
Mirror fold Steps 3 to 7 for the other three sides.
Step 9
Seperate the two layers of paper from the creased line, bring one side to the left and crash fold. Now your model should look like this:
Step 5
Flip and cover the visible triangle.
Step 6
Flip the paper to reveal the HCL at the back which now appears slanting, and align it precisely with the cross at the centre of the paper. Crease to form a line from the end point of the octa-base created in step 2.
Step 7
Unfold.
Bring corner to line formed in Step 6, align edge of paper along the line towards the octa-base, creased.
Step 8
Mirror fold Steps 3 to 7 for the other three sides.
Step 9
Fold along the doted line as shown in the picture for Step 8. Mirror the same step for the left hand side.
Step 10
Repeat Step 9 for all four sides.
Step 11
Fold down all four pointed tips and reinforced the octa-base created in step 2.
Step 12
You are done.
Now is the moment to witness the magical transformation of the Octa-ConVase.
Congratulations!......
