My Thirteenth Design: Pasacik Memorial and Photo Frame

 

I created this design on 17 March 2021, after our beloved budgie, Pasacik, passed away.

It has two versions. The one on the right, the memorial, is the collection of four birds drinking water from a container.

The second version is a frame, one of the best ways to remember our beloved ones. I don't have a printed photo of Pasacik for now.

I didn't think I would find a design so quickly. I had half finished flowers at hand. They were claimed, so I was waiting to make something further with them.

And I could...

How to fold the Pasacik memorial

Step 1

Fold a windmill base.

Step 2

Fold all the corners in the middle up and make creases on the half.

Step 3

Fold the outer corners in the middle of the crease.

Step 4

Squash fold all of them. This is basically the Kilyos base.

Step 5

Turn the model over and fold the squash folded corners to the back.

Step 6

Turn the model over again and hold one corner up.

Step 7

Fold it like a crane.

Step 8

Repeat four more times.

Step 9

Fold the corners in the middle up. Here comes the color change.

Step 10

Repeat four more times.

Step 11

Fold all the upper corners in half.

Step 12

Pinch one corner like a beak.

Step 13

Repeat three more times.

Step 14

Push the beaks down. If your paper doesn't let them stay down, you can fold the outer corners a little.

How to make the Pasacik frame

Fold the first 13 steps.

Step 14

Fold the beaks to the right (or to the left).

 

Step 15 

Tuck the folded beak to the pocket next to it.

 

Step 16

Repeat it three more times. And the frame is ready.
