How to fold a Columbine
Hello all,
First of all I am German und I hope you understand my brittle English. I have found a diagram called "columbine", which I find really nice.
This is the link:
http://dev.origami.com/images_pdf/afbcol.pdf
My problem begins with the first step. the paper in form of a pentagon and you must collapse it into a waterbomb base. But I do only know how to fold the waterbomb base only with a quadratic paper. So I have already a problem at the beginning.
I hope anybody can help me. Thanks a lot.
your kakadu

I just grabbed the nearest piece of scrap paper and made it into a pentagon, but the pictures still show you what to do

hey "cupcake",
you're great
I did'n really understand your description but when I look at the pictures it becomes very clear. thanks so much.
But how i get the pentagon form? how long are the 5 sides or do you need a special angle? you must know, I have never fold something with a pentagon-paper, so I'm little bit confused how to make this form with a normal piece of paper.

this bord is so wonderful, but it would be better when the language is German

so, see you

Hi oschene,
Great to see you on the forum.....your pictures are crisp and your folds are superb (especially the 16-sided compass rose jar) I am giving this link to your pics so everyone can enjoy them. I even have your Hydrangea box as my "avatar"!!!
