Origami Kite Base

After you make the origami triangle fold, you can start making the origami kite base. It’s called a kite base because it looks like a kite. The kite base is a simple but important origami base and is used to create lots of different origami designs.

We will show you how to make this easy origami base, step by step.

Origami Kite Base Step 1: Start with a square piece of paper (any size you like).
First, you will fold the triangle. Fold diagonally from top to bottom or from bottom to top as shown. Fold carefully and precisely.
