1. The basic material is naturally the protagonist of our origami tutorial today - napkin. The best thing about such readily available materials is that we can try them in unlimited quantities. According to the same method as other hand-made origami in Origami Complete Illustrations, we first need to fold the paper into the creases we need. First fold the paper in half on the left and right sides, then unfold it, and then fold the top and bottom sides in half, thus forming a cross-fold crease as shown in the picture. Then fold the left and right rectangles divided by the vertical creases into diagonal creases to form diagonal creases as shown in the picture. same,After the fold is finally completed, unfold the folded portion to leave a crease in the paper.

2. Then fold the bottom left corner of the paper to the right as shown in the picture. The amount of folding to the right should be as shown in the picture. You can see whether the position of folding to the right is correct, mainly based on whether the edge of the left bottom corner is in line with the right part of the paper after folding to the right. After the folding is completed , fold the bottom edge of the origami model upward. The folding width can be as shown in the origami diagram. In this way we obtain the origami style as shown in the picture.

3. Next, fold the right bottom corner of the origami model to the left. At this time, the right bottom edge formed by the previous folding step will be close to the left hypotenuse of the origami model, thus creating The origami triangle style is as shown in the picture. And this triangle is a very good isosceles triangle. Generally speaking, if you want to make a five-pointed star shape or other star-shaped styles, you need to follow the same idea as this folding and first make a suitable triangular structure before you can continue the folding work below, so you should try your best to ensure The folded triangle must be relatively unified and consistent in appearance.
