Origami Camera Step 1: Start with a square of origami paper, and crease it both horizontally and vertically .
Origami Camera Step 2: Now fold each of the four (4) corners to the center of the model. This is called a "blintz".
Origami Camera Step 3: Next turn the piece over, and fold the corners to the center again, i.e. make another blintz.
Origami Camera Step 4: Turn the piece over again, and fold one more blintz.
Origami Camera Step 5: Now turn the piece over again (but no blintz this time!). Unfold and flatten the top and bottom flaps, as shown in the sequence of the next four (4) photos.
Origami Camera Step 6: Now take hold of the corners A and B, and gently unfold and refold the piece as shown in the next seven (7) photos:
Origami Camera Step 7: Fold the rear flap of the model downwards, to get the piece shown below. Now take hold of corners A and B again, and overlap them:
Origami Camera Step 8: Then fold the tips over each other so that they are locked in place:
Now your origami camera is complete. To take a photo, hold the camera as shown and point it at the subject. Press forward with your thumbs, and the
flaps will unlock sharply with a "clicking" sound. To take another photo, re-lock the tips.
Enjoy!
