A picture instructable based on instructions I found on Anita's Origami, here: http://www.spiraclemusic.com/webwalk/12-vaned.htm
I think having both the diagrams and the pictures will help the most, although I'm sure its easy to follow along using just the pictures too.

This is my first instructable, but I tried to be as clear as possible when i took the pictures. Enjoy!

You need: Magazine paper! Thread! Needle!

Step 1Make the Base!

Make the Base!
This ornament starts with a pinwheel base, as denoted in the instructions.
Each step below will correlate to one picture.

1. Make a square by folding the paper and then cutting off the excess. Fold the paper in half both lengthwise and widthwise to make four quadrants.
2. Fold the bottom and top edges to the center fold.
3. Rotate the paper so that the ends open towards toward you, and fold the top and bottom to the center crease.
4. Open one of the flaps and crease as shown to make (see following image) a boat. Repeat on the other side.
