Praying Mantis by Robert J. Lang

1 . Crease the diagonals.

2 . Fold and unfold.

3 . First make the horizontal

crease halfway between the two

pinch marks. Then make the

vertical crease through the

intersection of the horizontal

crease and the diagonal of the

square.

4 . Fold the corners in and turn

the paper over.

5 . Fold a Waterbomb Base

based on the new creases.

6 . Swivel-fold.

7 . Fold and unfold.

8 . Open-sink the corner..

9 . Open out the sink and push some paper up

from the inside; pinch the excess paper in half

and swing it over to the left.

10 . Reverse-fold

the corner.

11 . Pull down the edge of the

pocket and fold the right layer

back to the left.

12 . Fold one flap down.

13 . Swing one layer from right to left.

14 . Repeat steps 6–13 on the right.

15 . Squash-fold.

16 . Petal-fold.

17 . Unwrap a single layer.

18 . Squash-fold.

19 . Reverse-fold the edges.

20 . Turn the model over.

21 . Repeat steps 15–17.

22 . Fold and

unfold.

23 . Fold the flap down, using the

newly-made creases as a guide.

24 . Reverse-fold a single

layer out from the inside.

25 . Reverse-fold

the edges.

26 . Reverse-

fold the

bottom

corner.

27 . Pull out the layers

trapped under the

triangular hood. The

model will not lie flat.

28 . Open-sink

the shaded

region and

refold.

29 . Flatten

the sunk

region.

30 . Fold and

unfold.

31 . Fold one

layer to the left

in front and

one to the right

behind.

32 . Top of the model.

Fold and unfold.

33 . Pleat and fold a rabbit

ear from the thick point

using the existing creases.

34 . Fold and unfold

through all layers.

35 . Wrap one layer of

paper to the front.

36 . Fold one layer to

the right, releasing

the trapped paper at

the left that links it to

the next layer.

37 . In progress.

Pull paper out

from here.

38 . Close the

model back up.

39 . Repeat steps

36–38 on the next

two layers.

40 . Swing the point

over to the left.

41 . Repeat steps

36–39 on the right.

42 . There are four edges on

the top right; pull out as much

of the loose paper between the

third and fourth edges as

possible. A hidden pleat

disappears in the process.

43 . Pull out the

loose paper

between the first

and second

layer.

44 . Swing the point

back to the right.

45 . Repeat steps

42–43 on the left.

46 . Fold and unfold.

47 . Open-sink the

point. You will have

to open out the top of

the model somewhat

to accomplish this.

48 . Rearrange the

layers at the top so that

the central square forms

a Preliminary Fold.

49 . Fold one layer to the

right in front, and one to

the left behind. The

model should be

symmetric as in step 31.

50 . Petal-fold.

51 . Fold the flap

back upward.

52 . Closed-sink the

point. (Be careful!

It is very easy to

rip the paper.)

long edge all the way

through the model

(closed-sink the

corner at the top).

right to left.

64 . Repeat

steps 55–62

on the right.

65 . Turn

the model

over.

unfold; the crease

lies on top of the

horizontal edge of

the layers behind.

68 . Pleat

above the

crease you

just made.

69 . Crease

into thirds.

70 . Fold the flap

over on one of the

creases you just
