Use
a rectangle of paper, 2 x 1 in proportion for each crystal-bead. You will also need a
string.
Unite several crystal-beads on the string and you will receive nice decoration. Try to
change the size of beads to make up different designs of the beads' string.
1 Valley fold and unfold the paper in half.
2 Valley fold the opposite sides to the middle fold-line.
Turn the model over.
3 Valley fold and unfold each fourth in half.
4 Valley fold and unfold the paper in half from bottom to
top.
Turn the model over.
5 Valley fold the top and bottom edges to the middle
fold-line.
Turn the model over. |

6,7 Make creases on diagonals, as shown in
figures.
8 Step fold the paper as shown.
9 Valley fold the left-hand edge to meet the middle
fold-line.
10 Valley fold one layer from left to right.
11 Valley fold the right-hand edge, covering the front layer.
12 Pressing on lateral corners, fold the points of top and
bottom edges into the middle.
13 Valley fold one layer from right to left.
14 Pressing on lateral corners, fold the points of top and
bottom edges into the middle.
15 Mountain fold the top and bottom corners back.
16 To give models the volumetric form, you need a thin subject. Insert it
through the top or bottom aperture inside and consistently push out each of three corners
outside, slightly pressing from above and from below.
