My Thirty-Ninth Design: Kadikoy Frame

 

I created this design on 14 May 2021. It's a Froebel variation.

Kadıköy is a district in Istanbul, which also includes my parental neighborhood, Erenköy.

How to fold the Kadıköy frame

Step 1

Step 2

Fold the middle corners up in half and unfold.

Step 3

Fold the upper corners down in half to the crease and unfold.

Step 4

Squash fold the corners.

Step 5

Fold the middle corners up in half to the crease.

Step 6

Fold all the corners back and tuck them inside the squash folds.

Step 7

Open and squash fold the middle flap as shown.

Step 8

Squash fold the sides of the flap as shown.

Step 9

Fold the pointy corner down as shown. It will lock the folds a little.

Step 10

Repeat step 7-8-9 three more times.

Turn the model over. There you can fold the squash folds back if you like. This gives the front a more free-floating look.
