Tip:

Use the central vertical fold as a guide to make sure the edges align neatly for clean, symmetrical folds.

Tip:

Line up the edges carefully before creasing to ensure both sides stay symmetrical as you continue.

Tip:

Use the existing center crease as your guide to pivot the flap cleanly without creating new folds.

Tip:

Use the flap on the right as a visual guide — your next folds should match it for a balanced and clean shape.

Tip:

Use the first flap as a reference to make sure both sides are even — symmetrical folds help your final model look more polished.

Tip:

Make sure to align the flap neatly so it stacks evenly with the other side — this helps keep the model clean and easy to manage in later steps.

Tip:

Hold the edges gently while flipping to avoid shifting any of the folds you’ve made so far.

Tip:

Make a sharp crease so the fold stays in place — this will help give the crab a neat and finished appearance.

Tip:

Keep both folds symmetrical for a balanced look. The tips should point downward evenly on both sides.

Tip:

Flip the model slowly to avoid shifting any folds — it should now start to resemble the crab shape clearly.

Tip:

Get creative with decorations — try colored paper, stickers, or even recycled cardboard for eyes to make each crab unique!
