The
inside reverse fold is an
origami skill. It is a low intermediate skill in the
origami tech tree.
Currently, this page is a first try at text instructions for making the inside reverse fold. This page needs pictures (and maybe an animation).
Here is one way to do the inside reverse fold:
- Start with a flap. Decide where you want to make the inside reverse fold.
- Valley fold the paper along the chosen line.
- Unfold to step 2.
- Separate the two hidden layers of paper, so that you are half-way between step 1 and step 2. You will see the vee-shaped pair of creases formed in step 2.
- Push the tip of the paper into the gap you just made.
- One of the creases (of the vee) will already be in the correct direction (a valley fold as seen from inside; a mountain fold[?] as seen from outside). The other crease will be in the opposite direction. Reverse the second crease, so that both creases are valley folds as seen from the inside, and [mountain fold]s as seen from the outside.
- Reverse the lower left edge, so that it is a mountain fold[?] as seen from the inside, and a valley fold as seen from the outside.
- "Pop" all three creases into place.
- Close up the model again.
- The inside reverse fold is done. (Notice how you reversed the folds to put the tip inside the model--thus the name.)
