00:00Hello everyone! We meet again this week. Today, Goator, this piece is made using a rectangular sheet of paper with a 1,2 ratio.

00:06First, I'll use a piece of printer paper to show you how to cut out a 1,2 ratio sheet.

00:10First, fold it edge to edge.

00:13I suggest using printer paper for this project, as it's relatively large.

00:18Then, fold a corner on the newly obtained rectangle.

00:21Fold a 45 degree line.

00:25Next, open it up and fold the bottom edge up along the bottom.

00:29Add, note that the center line aligns with the center line right.

00:34This ensures it folds evenly, fold from right to left, and left to right.

00:39Next, trim off the bottom part.

00:48Now we have a rectangle with a 1,2 ratio.

00:52Next, we need to create a grid of 12 by 24 on it.

00:56How do we divide it into 12 and 24 parts?

00:59As we all know, dividing by 2 is just folding it over and over.

01:02So, the key to 24 parts is actually how to divide it into 3 parts.

01:07I've taught you one method before, and today we'll learn.

01:11A new one!

01:12First, fold the entire rectangle edge to edge.

01:23Open it up, and then, using this point as the center, fold this line toward this line as if it were a radius.

01:30This is a method for folding a 60 degree angle.

01:35When this point lands on this line, press it flat.

01:39Now we have this triangle.

01:46Then look at this angle.

01:49Fold this angle back halfway.

01:52Fold it back halfway.

01:57Note this point, this spot, and this point.

02:01Open it up, and it becomes a 3 part division point.

02:07So, we've divided one side of the rectangle into 3 equal parts.

02:11Like this!

02:26Next, divide each part into 4 equal parts, which is just folding it in half.

02:33Fold it in half again to divide it evenly.

02:48When dividing, don't exceed 2 layers at a time.

02:55If there are too many layers, it won't fold accurately.

03:00This is the method for dividing this part.

03:02Then, correspondingly, this part also needs to be divided.

03:05Like this.

03:14Then, recall the method we just used.

03:16Using this point is the center and this is the radius.

03:21Fold it to here.

03:22This is a 60 degree angle fold.

03:26Then fold this angle in half.

03:28The top point is the 3 part division point.

03:31The top point is the 3 part division point.

03:353 parts!

03:39Fold this edge towards here.

03:48Fill the paper with grid lines.

03:49And so on.

03:50Ah, of course, this is the first step of the project.

03:59The first step is a bit tricky.

04:01After dividing, the following steps are actually quite simple.

04:05Although I suggest using printer paper, this piece is actually 2 colored.

04:09To make it easier for you to see, I'm using a yellow and white.

04:122 colored sheet to demonstrate the process.

04:16First, place the yellow side facing up.

04:19Now let's count the grid squares.

04:21Starting from the left here.

04:23Count 6 squares.

04:241, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, right here.

04:27Then fold it here.

04:32Then fold it here.

04:36Then, along the entire middle line.

04:42Fold it in half.

04:46Fold it in half.

04:47Look at the middle part.

04:49Count 1, 2, 3, 4 squares here.

04:534 squares make a square.

04:56Fold the diagonal of this square.

04:59Note that there are many layers here.

05:03Press the line a bit harder.

05:06Fold it on the front and then on the back.

05:12We have this line now.

05:14Then look down here.

05:16Fold the bottom edge up by one square.

05:23After folding one square, fold the diagonal of the outermost small square.

05:33Note that several layers are folded together.

05:38Foam it.

05:41Then fold it in the opposite direction.

05:44We have this small square.

05:46Do the same on the other end.

05:47Fold the diagonal of the small square.

05:48Fold the diagonal of the small square.

05:49Fold it on both sides.

05:50Then open it up with the yellow side facing up.

05:53Fold it on both sides.

05:54Then open it up with the yellow side facing up.

05:56We have 1, 2, 3 squares.

05:59Next, look at the bottom square.

06:00Next, look at the bottom square.

06:01Count 2 squares, 1, 2, and fold it up.

06:02Do the same on the top, fold it up.

06:03Then fold it to the edge along one square.

06:04And fold it to the edge along one square.

06:06Next, fold it to the edge along one square.

06:07facing up. We have one, two, three squares. Next, look at the bottom square. Count two squares,

06:18one, two, and fold it up. Do the same on the top, fold it up. Then fold it to the edge along one

06:30square. Like this? Do the same on the bottom. Look at the diagonal of the large square in the middle.

06:46Count one square to the side. Fold it over. Count one square. For such projects,

07:01counting squares must be accurate. Then fold it along the entire axis of symmetry.

07:09Now look at the bottom. Fold the diagonal of the small square in the lower left corner.

07:24Then pay attention to this step. Fold this part inside along this crease and the upper crease.

07:30Like this? Do the same on the other side. First fold a small angle.

07:46Fold it, open it up. Then fold the upper part along this line to the inside.

07:52Press the lower part flat. We have this shape now. Next, along this line, there is one on the front

08:07and one on the back. Fold the trapezoid on the edge up. Fold it up along this line.

08:18Like this? Fold the inner layer of the white square on the left gently to the outside.

08:35Fold it out. The yellow layer inside. Note that this is a closed sink fold.

08:44Push this angle inside. This layer needs to be flipped over.

08:55Be careful not to tear the paper layer. Flip it out.

09:03Gently flip it out. Then, press it along the crease to the left.

09:07Like this, the white trapezoid is on the left.

09:14Do the same operation on this side. First, flip the inner layer out.

09:24After flipping it out.

09:25Fold the entire pocket, a closed sink fold, to the outside.

09:45Then let's count the squares.

10:03This line in the middle, this is the middle, and…

10:06This crease is on both sides, we pinch this crease out.

10:17Both sides.

10:24The same on the top.

10:25The middle line, left and right, creases press it flat.

10:42So, it transforms from a flat shape into a three-dimensional one.

10:46Like this.

11:01Then, let's look at this part.

11:04Fold this triangle along this crease and this crease.

11:07Like this.

11:14Both sides at the same time, this side is the same.

11:29One square, fold its diagonal.

11:49Fold it, open it up.

11:51Similar to the previous steps, fold the bottom.

11:55Square inside along the previous crease.

11:59Along the previous crease.

12:06It looks like this.

12:08The other half is the same.

12:11First, fold a small angle.

12:17Open up the long strip on top.

12:23Fold it inside.

12:29Next, look here.

12:46Fold it down along the middle line to the recess.

12:51That is, fold a bone line.

12:59Where to fold?

13:00Fold it here.

13:01We count two squares to this line here.

13:04Here.

13:10Pinch it flat here.

13:13Fold it in here.

13:14That is, fold two diagonals from this point to both sides.

13:21Fold it in.

13:22The other half is the same.

13:24The middle line.

13:25The middle line.

13:32Pinch it all the way here.

13:33Fold both sides at the same time.

13:45Fold both sides at the same time.

13:52The middle part is flattened.

13:54It looks like this.

13:56It looks like this.

13:59A long strip is in front.

14:00Fold both sides.

14:02Fold this strip up and down.

14:16Look here.

14:18Adjust the angle inside.

14:21Gently open it up.

14:26Fold a line from this point to here.

14:28After folding this line, press this line flat.

14:50Like this.

15:00The other end is the same.

15:03Gently open it up.

15:04Fold a line from this point to here.

15:06Then press it inside.

15:25Press it flat inside.

15:27After pressing it flat inside.

15:37Fold this angle.

15:38The angle we just folded inside.

15:49Fold it towards the inside.

15:50This is actually a locking self-locking structure.

16:04Look at this angle.

16:05Fold it inside.

16:07This side is the same.

16:09It's not easy to see.

16:10Let's bring it closer.

16:16Like this.

16:17The previous step made this shape.

16:20Note this angle.

16:24Fold this angle inside.

16:29of course if you say you want to glue it to hold.

16:45It together you can skip these complicated steps.

16:47It looks like this.

16:50This angle.

16:53Let's use tweezers to take a closer look.

16:55What steps did we just do?

16:58This angle was originally here.

17:03It was originally here.

17:04We folded it in this direction.

17:06These steps are actually clearer in a folding diagram than in a video.

17:18Alright.

17:19After folding.

17:20Count 1, 2, 3.

17:22Squares from top to bottom and fold it up from here.

17:29Then look at this part.

17:30Leave one layer at the bottom.

17:36Count 2 squares and look from the side.

17:43We'll tuck it in later.

17:47Like this.

17:48Press it flat at the back.

17:51Let's look at this side again.

17:522 squares in front.

17:54Press it flat at the back.

18:00It looks like this.

18:07A cube will appear on top.

18:11Looking inside from here.

18:13The top layer.

18:14Fold it to the side.

18:18Flip it to the side from the inside.

18:26Fold it to the side from the top.

18:28And it looks like this.

18:30Fold it to the side.

18:34After making this shape.

18:36Let's look at the side.

18:38Fold a diagonal line from this point to this point.

18:51Like this.

18:52The other side is the same.

19:00From here to here.

19:01A diagonal line.

19:14Tidy it up.

19:15The excavator's shovel is on top.

19:20Fold it like this.

19:24With this shape.

19:24Let's look at the bottom.

19:26The middle with the frown.

19:31Fold the top back.

19:32Then fold down from the middle.

19:33One square position.

19:34Fold this line towards here.

19:45Fold this line towards here.

19:47Fold this line towards here.

19:52After folding up.

19:57Fold a small angle on the side here.

20:00Fold a small angle on the side here.

20:04The size of this angle should be exactly half a square.

20:10Fold a half square size.

20:12Fold a small angle on the right and left.

20:15The same size.

20:16The same size.

20:16Half a square.

20:22Open it up.

20:22Then fold this edge towards the center line.

20:37While folding.

20:38The angle we just made will open up.

20:51When folding from top to bottom.

20:52The bottom here.

20:55Will also open up a small angle.

20:57Half a square.

21:03Press this angle flat.

21:05The other side is the same.

21:35The other side is the same.

22:01Like this.

22:02Then let's look at the back.

22:10From here.

22:11Fold the yellow square on top to the upper left.

22:13One square.

22:25The other side is the same.

22:28So.

22:28This square is folded inside.

22:32This part is three dimensional.

22:40This shape at the back.

22:45Fold the white part on the bottom upwards.

22:52Fold this angle inwards.

22:53One third is enough.

23:01Fold these two small tips inwards as well.

23:17The other side is the same.

23:19The other side is the same.

23:23Fold it to the top.

23:28Fold one third at the front.

23:32Fold the two small angles at the back.

23:34Then look at the bottom part.

23:53Fold this part along the inside line which are two diagonal.

24:00lines and the middle part can be folded in like this.

24:05Close the top part.

24:12Fold it in.

24:12And then fold this again.

24:25And fold it apart around the right for the other side.

24:28Then fold the top part as the side.

24:30Fold the middle part and fold it in like this.

24:34Finally, fold the front part.

24:44The excavator's shovel part can be folded down in segments along the previous creases.

24:53Alright, here we go, the paper excavator is completed.

25:19I suggest using A4 printer paper for this project.

25:23If you want to use two colored paper, you can also cut muji paper in half.

25:29You want to challenge yourself, you can even try using a 1 colon 2 ratio bandnote.

25:35But I don't recommend using bandnotes, after all, money is meant to be spent.
