How to make an Origami Dragon

Step 3 Bird base: from square to triangle to square

The next few steps will take us to the "bird base" which is a precursor to a number of origami bird models (hence the name), but its not just limited to that, other models are derive from this base as well, such as my dragon.

(note each numbered step corresponds with an image).

1
Starting with an open sheet . Fold bottom right corner up to meet top left corner forming a triangle.

2
Fold the bottom left corner to meet the top right corner, bringing the dots together
forming a smaller triangle.

3
Open out the top flap and pressing down to form a square by
bringing the top right corner over to the top left corner ( the pink dots come together) and
the centre of the top edge (the yellow dot) becomes the lower left edge of a square.

4
Flip over.

5
Repeat step 3 on this side by bringing the top left corner over to the top right corner ( the pink dots come together) and the centre of the top edge (the yellow dot) becomes the lower right edge of a square.
