how to make an origami frog base

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 16:20:01 GMT

This origami video shows how to make a frog base. The frog base is a somewhat advanced base fold that can be turned into a frog (duh)... but it's much cooler than just that. From the frog base, you can make a few different kinds of flowers, a snail, and even x-wing... that's right... x-wing! So this is a good base to learn.
