$Elephant

A dollar bill makes a model 55mm x 35mm. For your first attempt, begin with a 3x7 rectangle

larger than a dollar bill.

1. Black side up (for green

model). Valley-fold in half

and unfold.

2. Softly valley-fold to center

line; crease sharply where it

hits the bottom edge. Unfold

and turn over top-to-bottom.

3. Valley-fold at mark just made.

4. Valley-fold. Then unfold

model and turn over, top-to-

bottom.

5. Fold and unfold.

6. Pleat. Mountain-fold is

the existing crease.

7. Valley to hidden edge and

unfold.

8. Reverse-fold on previous

crease.

9. Mountain-fold on existing

crease.

$Elephant (continued)

10. Squash right corner.

Valley-fold is horizontal.

Repeat above.

11. Mountain-fold the large

rear flap.

12. Swing small flaps

around to the back.

13. Valley-fold to the

underlying edges, forming

rabbit-ears at the four

corners. The vertical

creases needn’t be sharp.

14. Detail of bottom. Hold

down at points “A” and “B”

while unfolding the vertical

edge, and spread-squash.

15. Like so. Repeat 3

times. Turn over top-to-

bottom.

16. Fold down the nested

flap. Repeat above. Turn

over top-to-bottom.

17. Valley-fold the little

triangles down. Repeat

twice above.

18. Valley up on existing

crease, squashing hidden

corners on existing creases.

Repeat above.

$Elephant (continued)

19. Valley-fold corners

and tuck under. Corners

are nipped a bit.

20. Valley to center line and

unfold. Don’t crease too far.

Then swing large flap to the left.

21. Fold model in half.

22. Right end of model:

fold and unfold. Length “b”

is a little bit more than length

“a”.

23. Reverse-fold on the

crease just made.

24. Outside reverse-fold large

flap to the right, on the existing

crease, preserving the small

reverse-fold in the layers

beneath.

25. Enlargement of

unresolved area. Push

down and flatten on existing

creases.

26. Model is completely

flat again. Unfold to step

20.

27. Valley-fold along the

folded edge.

$Elephant (continued)

28. Valley-fold along

hidden edge of the “legs”.

Don’t crease too sharply.

29. Swing large flap behind,

undoing the valley-fold of

step 27. Turn over top-to-

bottom.

30. Valley-fold along

same hidden “leg” edge

as before, sharply this

time.

32. Pivot large rectangular flap

back and up. The valley-fold is

on the lowest layer of paper (on

each side of the model).

33. Inside view of rear

half of model.

31. Mountain-fold model

in half.

Technique:

1. make soft

mountain-fold

between A and B,

sharpen between

vertical creases;

2. convert to sharp

valley-crease;

3. use it to locate

the other valley.

(even easier: mark

with a ruler!)

34. Like so. Unfold

again to step 20.

35. Valley-fold along the lines connecting

points “A” and “B”, sharply only between

the vertical creases indicated. Repeat

above.

36. Refold to step 34, also

reforming the “shoulder divot”

made in steps 22 to 26.

37. Lift top layer, valley-

folding the middle layer on

the crease made in step 35.

Paper will stretch and model

will not be flat.

38. Rear half of model not

shown. Begin to squash by

pressing a valley-fold

between the points shown.

3: flatten

2: flatten

39. Flatten where shown

from right to left, stopping

at the hidden vertical

crease “C”.

40. Valley-fold the lower

standing flap to the right

along that same vertical

crease.

41. Flatten three edges in

the order shown, closing up

the model.

37-41

42. Entire model shown.

Repeat 37-41 on far side.

Try to keep model symetric.

43. Valley fold and unfold,

corner to intersection shown.

Repeat behind.

44. Mountain-fold on same

crease. If necessary to make

it fit inside, fold a little of the

edge. Repeat behind.
