Quadra ConVase 1 - The Basic Model

This is the simplest Quadra-ConVase. It looks balanced and is the base model for all my Quadra- ConVases.

Step1
Prepare an "Origami Square Base" with the four open tips facing up.

Bring the right corner to touch the Vertical Center Line (VCL)，align the edge of paper along VCL towards the top open ends. Crease to form Line A1.

Step 2
Bring left corner to touch VCL，align the edge of paper along the VCL towards the top open ends. Crease to form Line A2. 


 

Step 3
Bring the base-tip up along VCL to touch the base of the triangle formed with the  two previous steps. Crease to form the quadra-base.

Step 4
Open the triangle. Bring the right corner along the Horizontal Center Line (HCL) to touch Line A2. Crease to form Line B1.

Step 5
Poke a finger between the two layers of paper and separate them along Line B1 towards the left and right respectively. Crash-fold to form a triangle as follows:

Step 6
Back flip and cover up the triangle.

Step 7
Bring the right corner towards the VCL, align the edge of paper along VCL, fold along the pre-creased Line A1 towards the top open tips. 

 Step 8
Fold back the back flap along Line A1 as well. 

Step 9
Mirror-fold Steps 4 to 8 for the other three sides. 

Step 10
Fold down all four tips along the VCL.

Step 11
This is the moment to witness the magical transformation of the Quadra-ConVase.
