How to make 3d origami base

            3D origami base it is very important in making origami 3d models ,most 3D origami  models
contain at least one base, these base gives strength and solidity of the model as long as done correctly. There are two types of 3d origami bases -open bases and - close bases but we talk about this later.
              Before we start talking about 3D origami bases we need to understand a few things about how to connect these 3D origami pieces ,there are many ways to connect these pieces but for now we talk about normal and inverted way.
           Connecting '' normal'' pieces it means that the round part of the piece is on the outside of the model and this method  is the most common.The '' normal '' way looks very good and tends to get tight.

         Connecting ''inverted'' pieces it means that the round part of the pieces is on inside part of the model and this method is used much less often.The raws made from'' inverted'' pieces  tend to  enlarge.

             Now we go back to Base 3D origami bases , a base size is determined by the number of pieces in a row , all 3d origami bases are made in the same way only differences is the number of pieces in a row.
             There are two types of 3d origami pieces , open base and closed base.

      3D origami open base: the open base is made of three  normal rows closed in a circle,this base is used most often to more complex models involving several modules glued together like : flowers ,people ....

               3D origami closed base: the closed base is made of three  normal rows closed in a circle with a inverted row in the bottom ,it is used very often representing the foundation of most 3D origami models like : swans, baskets,vases....  .

      In the  tutorial below you will learn how to make 3d origami open and closed base :

                 HOW TO MAKE 3D ORIGAMI BASE

              Be patient and learn how to make these base right ,3d origami bases  are very important and are found in most 3d origami  models , it is the foundation of 3D Origami and many fail to learn how to make this 3d origami properly.
