The Martian Bouncing Spider

copyright 1997 by Perry Bailey

1. fold and unfold paper diagonaly in half both ways then


blintz fold in all the corner to the center.

3. Fold the raw edge up to the top crease, then


unfold and reapeat on other 3 sides.
Turn the model over.

2. Blintz fold again the center


Then unfold completely and
turn the model over.

4. Fold the raw edge up to the first crease,


then unfold. Repeat on other 3 sides.

5. Make a really large rabbits ear, then unfold and


repeat on the other thre corners.

7. Collapse the model in to a long armed


pinwheel.

6. This is all of the folds after step 5, from here


we go to the crease pattern to fold this into
a long armed windmill.

8. The model should have collapsed into


a large pinwheel type shape. Note
the small square in the center of the
model remains flat through out the
collapse. In the next diagram you
will see only 1 arm shown.

9. Notice creases on the arm of the model,


the next step is to use these creses to
fold each arm into 3 preliminary base
each one opposite to the one before.

10. Note that the bottom most preliminary base


is four layers, put two layers to each side,
the other folds will be only 1 layer each.

11. Three layers of preliminary


bases on on top the other.

12. This is an enlarged view of the


leg we just folded. Now we fold
half of a bird base.

13. Fold another half of a bird base,


but in the opposite direction.

15. Finished view of one leg.

14. Fold the final half


of a bird base in
opposite direction of
the previous one.

16. Repeat steps 9


through 15 on all
legs.
Odd note here if you feel the need to improve your
spiders bounce some careful wet folding at the end,
or glue if you want to hold the square part of his
body together, or just use stiff paper like I do and
it should work just fine! Perry

18. Each leg will pull out like this.

17. Now to finish your martian bouncing


spider, grab the tip of each leg one at
a time and gently pull in out till the
middle of the leg becomes tube like.

Finished!!!! now tap the x and


watch him bounce! With practice
you can even dribble your spider.
