Hi, guys, today I'm gonna be teaching you a present you can give to your dad on father's day! This present is called a Flasher Exploding Envelope. This is what it looks like.
You need to pull the two flaps which is on both sides( I'll tell you how it works more specific later on in this tutorial). Then the paper will pop up and you can see what's inside.
Enough said, let's start! This origami is S(Simple), half star level(maximum of five stars). However, for this origami model, you would need a 8" x 11" printer paper or a A4 printer paper.
First, fold the paper in half the long way, now you've created a fold called Valley Fold. Then unfold the paper.
Now, we need to do a fold called Paper Airplane Fold. To do that, you just do the first step to make a paper airplane, which is folding the two top point on to the middle crease.
Do another paper airplane fold on the other side, or you can say do the same thing on the other side. Now your paper should looks like this.
Now rotate the model so that is looks kind of like a square.
Now create a valley fold in the middle, or you can say fold the model in half. Then unfold.
Then, fold the top edge and the bottom edge on to the middle crease.
Flip is over, Then fold one of the corner up. Now, you should have something pretty much like this.
Do the same thing on the other side.
Flip it over. Now your paper should looks like this.
Now, fold the bottom point up, to the mid-top point, and do the same thing but opposite side. Now your paper should looks like this. Then, unfold all.
Now, notice that there are two little flaps in the middle of the model, use the crease you've made and fold the bottom point into one of the flap.
Do the same thing but opposite sides.
Now you should have something like this, and that is your completed Flasher Exploding Envelope!
Now, I'm gonna tell you how to "EXPLODE" the model. First, you need to pull the two flaps out soft and gentle, now I think that the majority of you would come up with this, and that is completely 100% fine.
Now, fold the model back to normal if you can. Then, take the to flap you folded in out, then fold it in again, but this time fold the paper more out and don't crease it hard.
Now pull out the two flaps again, I think some of you did it, if you did it, fold the model back again, then pull the model again, but this time pull it a little bit harder, if you did it again, fold the model back again and pull it even harder, if you did it again, repeat the process a few more times that way you are adding more and more strength to the paper. For those of you who are not able to do it, I think you didn't pull it hard enough, so pull it a little bit harder. If you STILL didn't do it, then repeat the WHOLE ENTIRE process again or few more times, you will finally do it!
If you finally did it, draw something inside would defiantly makes it looks better, like the picture I show you before. I drew a I love You on it.
That is your finished flasher exploding envelope! Have fun with it, Happy Father's Day!!! Oh by the way, go to this website for video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zziP688V2iw
