00:00Hello everyone, we meet again this week.

00:03Recently, I've been particularly fond of various ingredients.

00:06So this week, I'm going to indulge a bit and teach you

00:08all about the squid that I've been really into lately.

00:11About the introduction, let's just get started.

00:13This work requires a square piece of paper that is 15 centimeters on each side.

00:17First, we need to find a few points on the edge of the paper and fold a diagonal line.

00:22After opening the diagonal line, we fold this edge toward this diagonal line.

00:31Note that when folding, what we want is the position left by this tip.

00:39So just gently press down a bit, and there you have it.

00:43Then, fold the upper edge towards this point.

00:52Note that this line should be folded parallel.

00:56We can turn it over and fold it carefully.

01:03Fold it over like this, and this point will

01:06land exactly on the bicolored boundary line.

01:15With this line in place, fold the edges together.

01:22Find its axis of symmetry.

01:26Open it up.

01:29Fold both edges towards the middle line.

01:34Notice that at this point, since the bottom layers

01:39are folded together, this part might wrinkle.

01:43It's okay, we'll open this part up later.

01:47Open it up.

01:49Then open up this edge.

01:52Fold the edge towards the line.

01:55Diagonally.

01:59Make sure it's symmetrical on both sides.

02:09Alright, after folding, pay attention here.

02:12There's an intersection here on this crease.

02:15Then, there's another intersection where this crease meets the edge.

02:19Fold along the line connecting these two points.

02:26When folding, you'll notice that the middle angle falls right on this line.

02:30Make sure it's symmetrical on both sides.

02:48After folding, fold the entire piece back along the bottom line.

02:51Then, flip it over.

03:02Fold this edge towards this line.

03:05The bottom part is thicker.

03:13Be careful when folding.

03:17Try to avoid too many wrinkles.

03:19Now, fold the triangles.

03:28After folding, fold this part down along the bottom line.

03:31There you go! It feels a bit like folding a paper airplane, right?

03:44Then flip it over. Fold along the center line on both sides. Does it look more like a plane now?

03:54Pay attention here! Fold this tip towards this point.

04:01Fold it. Open it up. Then, fold a line from this intersection to this point.

04:13From this intersection to this point.

04:23After folding, open it up from the center. Press this part flat.

04:31Then fold it like an origami crane.

04:47Fold both sides toward the center line. Leave a crease first.

04:52Then, fold these two parts to the center along the crease.

05:03Just like folding a crane.

05:04You can open up the upper part now. No need to fold through the thick layers.

05:20Just press it flat here along the previous crease.

05:22The upper part is like this. This is the head part of the squid.

05:34Then, close it up.

05:35After closing, look here. Fold this edge towards this edge.

05:43The other side is the same.

05:57Then, fold the white corner from the bicolored boundary line upwards.

06:11Then, fold the white corner from the bicolored boundary line upwards.

06:14Fold it, open it up, and tuck this square into the middle.

06:27Then, fold this line upwards to form a triangle.

06:30Fold it again along the previous crease, tucking the triangle into the middle.

06:43Make sure this part is sharp.

06:45Then, similar to before, fold the bottom corner upwards and then fold it back down from the center.

06:58Next, open it up.

07:16Fold this middle line of the triangle towards this edge.

07:21Push it out and fold it towards this edge.

07:23Press it flat.

07:32After pressing it flat, two angles will appear here.

07:37Fold these two angles again.

07:40Following the same pattern as before, tuck them inside.

07:53One angle and the other angle.

08:07Make it sharp.

08:11Alright, two branches are completed.

08:15The back part is the same.

08:18Fold the white triangle and fold it along the edge to the top.

08:24Fold the white corner diagonally.

08:51Now, there's a large right triangle in the middle.

09:05Fold it down along the edge, similar to before.

09:17Fold the bottom corner upwards along the edge.

09:32Fold the middle part down last.

09:48Alright, now the 6 tentacle branches are completed.

09:55Fold the tip downwards.

10:02Next, look here.

10:10Fold this edge from the midpoint of this line to the midpoint at the bottom.

10:16Fold this left edge towards this line.

10:26With this line in place, fold it back in the opposite direction.

10:34Open it up from the middle.

10:35Alright, pay special attention to the next step.

10:40Fold it from both sides here and gently pull the bottom part open.

10:49Let this line pop out.

10:53Then tuck this line in.

10:56Note that this part is not shown in the folding diagram.

11:00Make these 2 lines pop out.

11:06After popping them out, tidy it up to look like this.

11:13Leave the bottom part open for now, we'll deal with it later.

11:18Pop the middle part out.

11:21There you go, it should look like this.

11:24It should look like this now.

11:28Like this.

11:29Then, push these 2 points inward.

11:37Push them in.

11:41Then pay attention, close it like this.

11:47It should look like this.

11:49The middle part is now 3 dimensional.

11:52On both sides.

11:55Pinch these legs together first.

12:02Tuck it in.

12:03Not really tucking, just close it like this.

12:07Like this.

12:10The shape of the squid is now complete.

12:20Tuck it up a bit more.

12:26You can curl the back legs a bit.

12:31Scrape it with your fingernail to loosen it up.

12:36There are 6 tentacle groups in total.

12:51The front looks like this.

12:53The back looks like this.

13:01You can press a bit here to make it tighter.

13:07It's okay if you don't press it.

13:08bamboo all over there.

13:08There you have it, the squid is now folded.
