Transcripts

1. Introduction: Do you want to learn something like this? In this class, We're gonna break down the different mechanisms that's happening in this book into different food. First, we're going to learn how to make a parallelogram by making different tofu dishes. We will make something like this. Like this. We're going to learn how to make a rotating disk with jalapeno dishes. We will make something like this. a pull tab. With this. We will also learn how to make a spiral. With this. Let's get started. 2. Preparation: Tools: To start, you will need a cutting mat. Scissors, double-sided tape ruler, a pen. 3. 1.1 Parallelogram 1: We're going to first make a very simple parallelogram. First, we're going to fold the base into how it helps. If you use nail to reinforce the fold. Then we'll put this one up, one side. And then we'll grab the pieces. This is pre-measured. You can choose your own sizes as long as the middle two has the same width and the two adjacent to it has the same width. That will work. And the tape area, we usually would have a little bit of an angle to make it easier to glue or tape. Now we're going to fold along each of the lines. Now we're going to refer this from the middle. Almost ready. Now we're going to grab the base. And when a pod, it is going to be like this. So how do we know where we're going to put a tape? So as you can see, this is a parallel Graham and this part is exactly the same with this. So we're just going to use this to measure. We're going to put this here. And you sell pants to measure this one. So now all we need is to put our tape here. And here. We're going to put some tape on the first side. And then we're going to put it inside here just to make sure that this thing can close perfectly. Instead of putting this part directly to here, we are going to put a piece of tape here, right here. And then we're just going to close this altogether and use the finger to press the bar that has the tape. Now we can open this. Beautiful. As you can see. It's a very simple parallelogram. The closest like this spike, this as well as this one equals this one and this part equals this part. It will work. 4. 1.1 Parallelogram 1: Miso Soup: Here is an application of the mechanism that we just made. This is the base of the top row, so we're going to hold us to have put it aside. Then we're going to put a tofu. We're going to fold along each of the lungs. Now. We're going to put the TOEFL onto the blue one side first. Like here. A little bit of tape like that. Then this piece here, press it down really well. And then we're going to put a piece of tape here. Now, you can just follow this and press really hard on the area where there's tape. Now we can open it. 5. 1.2 Parallelogram 2: Now we're going to make the second type of parallelogram. To start, we're going to fold the base into half and press the fault line really well and put this on the side. And then this time we're going to use to tap. And it will be easier if each of the section is the same width, equal, equal, equal. And once again, let's cut a little bit of angle for the tape area. Now we're going to follow this along a line. It also need another piece to be on the top. And this one can be any shape as long as it's smaller than the base. We also need to fold this. All right. I'm going to bring back the base. The placement of those two can be random as long as you make them the same. So we're going to measure the distance for one of them. I'm going to choose half an inch. This will be we'll put one of them because it's symmetrical. The placements or the other one should also be the same. All right. Now we got all measures ready. We're going to tape it. This one. We're going to take this area on the other side of the line. So we're going to take one of them first, put a little bit of tape on this. And we're just going to press it down. Now. We're going to put a little bit tape here and press it down like this. So there are two sections that's facing us. And here's the one that's facing down. We're gonna do the same thing for this side. Piece of tape here. And the tape is this side. I'm going to put a piece of tape here. And fully like this. Now, it looks like this. Now we're going to put tape on the part that are facing us, this one and this one only this one. The other side as well. Now, we're going to put this one in. Here's the trick. We're going to lift this. And like this. And right where these two meet, we're going to insert the top piece right here. Or you can put this along the fault line if that's easier. Here. Close it and press where there's tape. This is a, so this is another parallelogram. What's up on the top will hide what's on the bottom. Use to lift any element that you want to be elevated from the base. 6. 1.2 Parallelogram 2: Mapo Tofu: Here is an application of what we just made. We're going to first for the base is half the size. And you're going to fold those strips. Do the same thing for the other one. Now we're going to fold the last piece. You have. As you can see, this one can be in any shape. Now we're going to bring back the base. We're going to put the first tab right here and upload a little piece of tape. But a little bit of tape here. Two parts facing us and the one facing down. You're gonna do the same thing for the other side. Put some tape here, put some tape here. Now, we're about to put this one on this. We're going to put some tape on top. Now we're going to put this one along this one. Press down so that the tape can be adhered to the top piece. Close this, press it again. 7. 1.3 Parallelogram 3: Our third parallelogram is slightly different from the first two. Instead of open fully. The swan performance. When you open only 90 degree, you probably have seen this in many pop-up greeting cards and the store. So we'd have folded into hat. Now, we need, first, we need a piece that's going to the base. First, going to leave some areas for the tape, and then we're going to fold a little bit out. So this is the area where it's going to pop out. Afford another era, the bottom part for the tape. Then we need another keys to be take on top of this. Likewise, so we're gonna have an area for the tape on the bottom. And this will be the amount that this one steps. So first we're going to grab the base, pop slide with dust. So in order to find out where we're going to put the tape, I'm just going to use this to measure this line, line up against this line. And this would be where we put the tape, this area. So we're gonna put tape to the yellow paper because this is a little bit bigger. A little bit more tape. And before. Now we're going to put this one against this one. Now. We're going to put some tape here, folders like this, and press down where the tape meets the paper. Open, like this. Now we're going to put the last piece here. First, we are going to put some tape. This area. In order to find out. We're going to put the tape here. And we're just going to use this one to measure here in temporarily. Put us here. So this is where we're going to put the tape. I'm gonna market. Now. I'm going to put the tape right here. Almost ready. Now. Going to put some tape, this part. Then we're going to fold it like this and press down. We're just tape. Here we got this doesn't have to be a rectangle. It can be any random shape this and also cut some areas here saying was this part, it doesn't have to be straight lines. You can be very creative with this. 8. 1.3 Parallelogram 3: Fried Tofu: Now we're going to see an application of what we just learned. First, you're going to pull the base into half. Then we're gonna food. First, the one that's attached to this. This is how much it's going to pop up. The last one. So first, we're going to move this one to the bottom. It's the opposite of what we did last time, but it will still work on tape. Here. You can see this and this are equal. Now we're going to put some tape here. Then we're going to follow this like this tape here for this part. And then tape it. The first tofu is ready. Now we're going to put a second one on. First. We are going to tape it here. And this is also pre-measured, as you can see. This height equals this hot. Put some tape on this one and put it here and press the taper, the wall. Now, the last pallet ready. You can see this one doesn't have the straight lines, so I used an angle. Structure is the same. 9. 2.1 Rotating Arm 1: Now we're going to make rotating disk. First we need a base. We need a structure like this. First, you need to follow this. Like this. It's easier to afford a 45-degree angle for both sides to reinforce the folder that you can flip it the other side too. Once you open that, you can press it inside like this. And don't forget to leave on both sides where you should tape. It. Also needs some strips. Now, to know where we should take this, we're just going to use this to measure. It will be like this. So we're going to put this, put this tape line against the fault line of the base and mark the area where we're going to take roughly here. We'll put a piece of tape here. We're going to tape it here. Now we're going to take this area. We're going to fold this like this. Without this, it's still the same parallelogram structure. We're going to follow this like this. Now we're going to press this area in like this. Grab all strips. This, you can choose any direction you want to go. So we're going to try this side first. I'm going to put some tape here. Go this side. Put some tape here. And you can go this side. Now we're going to try this area. Maybe we'll go this direction. Notice this one is too long. You can just close. It's not a real console. You can also trim it later. 10. 2.1 Rotating Arm 1: Pho: We're going to apply what we just learned to this. First, we're going to go the base into half and down. We're gonna grab the brisket. First. We're going to fold this line down. We're going to fold it 45-degree angle. To enforce the phone. We're going to fold it both sides. Then we're going to fold where it's going to be taped. Now we're going to first put this part onto the base. Now we're going to take this part and more bean sprouts so that they can rotate when you open it. 11. 2.2 Rotating Arm 2: To make the effect even stronger, we can add extra element should the tip. We're going to use some of the strips. A tape, a little piece here. It looks like this. We can do the same thing to the other ones. We can't add bigger shape to this structures. We're going to use those at this. Like this. We can do the same thing to all of those chemicals too big. So we're going to redo this. 12. 2.2 Rotating Arm 2: Pork Chop: We're going to use the pork chop to show how it works. First, we're going to make, you're going to make a fold in the middle. Then we're going to print a base. First. We're going to fold along the line. Now we're going to follow the 45-degree angle. Open it and we're gonna fold where it's going to be taped. And then we're going to take this to the base. He just said, we're going to put the arm like this. We're going to use a piece to cover this area. Now. We're going to put the help menu on top of the tip of the rotating disk to make this one load. 13. 3 Pull Tab: Because it's a poll tab with do not need to fold the paper and to have, because the action only happens when you pull the tab. First, we're going to cut two holes on the paper. One is to make the action, the other is to pull. Then we're going to have a strip of paper to get the strength that's enough to pull anything. I highly recommend you for a piece of paper into half so that it's much stronger than just one layer of paper. Then we're going to slide this into the first row. And we're going to fold. And we're going to leave a little bit of space from the food and the slot. A little strip of paper to stop this from photo coming out. And we're gonna put this right against the fault line. Now, we're going to slide this into just hold. And then we're going to solve it. This is how it looks like. Now we're going to add a little piece here so that it looks even clear what's happening. You're going to bring a piece of paper folded into half, put some tape on both side. 14. 3 Pull Tab: Kimchi: Now we're going to use Kim to, to put the poll tab we've just learned into action. First, we're gonna pre-calc two holds for the tab. Then this time, to further strengthen the paper, I'm actually going to fold the paper three times instead of twice in the demo. And for this particular design, I have built in the stopper into one sheet of paper so that we didn't have to put on a piece of paper onto the tab. I'm going to fold this back first folders so that I can slide it into the hole. And this one is the stopper. Now, I'm actually going to take this, slide this into the hole. Now I'm going to bring another piece of kimchi for this are to have the tape side. 15. 4 Spiral: Now we're going to make a spiral. First. We're going to pull the sheet into half. And then we're going to call spiral all of a piece of paper like this. And the first thing is to take one end, just the top was a little bit of tape. Now while it's flood the paper and cross where you put the tape on. And now go to the other end of the spiral. So we'll just take the ulcer. So I'm going to go into the very center and put a piece of tape at the center. The other side of the sucrose. 16. 4 Spiral: Noodles: Now we're going to put the spiral into action. As you can see, the spiral doesn't have to be curves. They can be straight lines to this time. First going to the table in the center and close it. Now we're going to put a little tape on the top. Other than that, the spiral. 17. 4 Spiral Momo: The spiral can also go out and make another spiral as long as it is a continuous strip, it will work. So we're gonna first tape one end of the spiral, press it down. Now we're going to tape the other end. 18. 5 Everything: Banh Mi: Now we're going to apply everything we have learned so far into one book. First, we have folded the bread. Now we're going to put on the rotating disk. Now we're going to put the parallelogram. Now we're going to put the radish and carrots for the poll tab. First, we're going to put the cars on the radish. Going to put this part onto this side. Now we're gonna go this part to the other side. Even though this is a poll tab, we're going to use the opening of the book to pull it. Now we're going to add a spiral. So untrue. To decorate this one. You can put them anywhere you want. One spiral. This part is a little bit empty, so we're going to put one. Maybe I'll put one on the top.
