origami paper for a red berry

                                                    Step 1:
                                                    This paper is for a red berry, the size is 4x4 inch or
                                                    10x10 centimeters. The other side is completely red.
                                                    Make a valley-fold over this line.



                                                    Step 2:
                                                   Make a mountain-fold over this line.






                                                    Step 3:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over this line.
                                                    Then, turn the model again.




                                                    Step 4:
                                                    Prefold the model over this line.






                                                Step 5:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over these two lines.



                                                    Step 6:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over these two lines.



                                                    Step 7:
                                                    Open the model until it has the same shape as in step 4 again.



                                                    Step 8:
                                                    Prefold over this line.



                                                    Step 9:
                                                    Roll the model up by making valley-folds over these (prefolded)
                                                    lines.







                                                    Step 10:
                                                    Here a part of step 9 is already done.
                                                    Continue rolling up the model.





                                                    Step 11:
                                                    Press the edge indicated by the arrow inwards by making
                                                    a mountain-fold over the yellow line.
                                                    This line is prefolded in step 8

                                                    Step 12:
                                                    Press the edge indicated by this arrow inwards too by
                                                    folding over the prefolded line.


                                                   Step 13:
                                                   Press this edge over the edges of step 11 and 12 by making
                                                    a mountain-fold over the yellow (prefolded) line.



                                                   Step 14:
                                                   And press this edge over the edge of step 13

                                                    (Keep holding the model in one hand from step 10 to 15,
                                                    otherwise it will open by itself again)

                                                   Step 15:
                                                   Press the green part flat from aside by making a valley-fold
                                                    over this line and a mountain-fold on the same place at the
                                                    other side of the model.


                                                   Step 16:
                                                   Now the model looks like this,
                                                    turn it a little.





                                                    Step 17:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over this line.






                                                    Step 18:
                                                    Bend/fold/curl the green part





                                                    Step 19:
                                                    Make 4 of these red berries.

                                                    This paper is for one leaf. The size is 4,5x4,5 inch or

                                                    The backside is completely white here, to make the
                                                    instructions a little more clear to you.
                                                    Prefold over this line, then turn the paper.
