How to fold the handmade origami gourd?

The steps of manual origami lifting are as follows:

Tool preparation: a square piece of paper.

Step 1: Fold the square paper diagonally twice, and then diagonally twice. When folding, the edges must be aligned.

Step 2: Fold both sides inward according to the crease of the line, so that two convex lines can be pinched out and overlapped along the two lines.

Step 3: after folding, it is a big triangle with the opening facing down and the sharp corner facing up. First, fold one corner along the center line and align it.

Step 4: The other three corners are also folded into a small square according to the above method.

Step 5: After folding, one of the small corners can be folded and aligned along the center line, and then flattened by hand. The other three corners are folded in the same way to form a figure similar to a hexagon.

Step 6: Expand the small triangle folded in the previous step, and then expand the big triangle inside, as shown below.

Step 7: After unfolding, you can see several creases on it. First, align the corners along the long vertical marks, turn them over, fold them up and compact them.

Step 8: After flipping, a picture of a small square appears on the paper. Align the adjacent sides of the small square and flip it to get an acute angle aligned with the center line.

Step 9: After folding, we get a sharp corner on the left side to cover the right side. Fold the left corner along the center line and press it backwards. The other three corners are also folded and compacted according to the above steps. After all the folds, our four gourd corners will be folded here.

Step 10: You can stand the paper upright, and you can see a small hole in the middle. Hold the wings on both sides with both hands and blow into the middle hole. When blowing, you can adjust the position of the paper properly, and you can also pull the edge of the paper by hand, and a beautiful paper gourd is completed.

These are the origami steps for hand-made gourds.
