Basic Folding

1 Fold the bottom corner to meet the top corner.
2 Make a crease and return it to its original position.
3 Rotate the paper 90 degrees, fold the other pair of corners together, make a crease and return it to its original position.
{Flip}
4 Rotate the paper 45 degrees and fold the bottom edge to meet the top edge.
5 Make a crease and return it to its original position.
6 Rotate the paper 90 degrees and fold the other pair of edges together.
7 Hold the crease ▲ made in step 6 with your fingers and fold it gently from both sides.
8 Let it naturally fold along the creases to form the shape of 9.

10 Change the top and bottom positions.
With the opening facing downwards, fold the bottom left and right edges to meet the crease in the middle.
11 Make a crease and return.
12 Fold the top at the point where the crease made in 11 intersects with the top left and right edges.
13 Make a crease and return.
14 While opening the front paper upwards, fold the left and right edges inward along the crease made in 11.

17 Make creases on this side in the same way as 10 and 11.
18 Fold in the same way as 14, 15 and 16 to form 19 and 20.

20 The basic fold is complete.

Venusaur’s body

1 Fold it up to the basic 20 shape, then change the top and bottom positions.
Fold the front piece of paper up slightly (about 2 mm) above the corner of the mountain at the back of the bottom piece of paper.
2 Make a mark at the tip of the front piece of paper and return it to its original position.
3 While opening the bottom front piece of paper to the left and right at the crease made in step 1, fold it up to match the tip mark made in step 2.
4 Fold each of the left and right corners of the bottom edge slightly diagonally upwards.
5 Fold the bottom front piece of paper up at the base.
6 The face and ears are made.
7 Make the feet. Fold the top left and right pieces of paper diagonally at the base, passing them between the front and back pieces of paper, and then fold them diagonally downwards.

8 Fold the tip of the paper in half and fold it between the pieces of paper.
9 The legs are finished.
Fold the bottom piece of paper up halfway from the base.

13 The body is finished.
Attach a seed to the back piece of paper that is sticking out a little.

Venusaur Flower

1 Fold the right corner to meet the left corner.
2 Make a crease and return it to its original position.
3 Fold the bottom corner to meet the top corner.
4 Fold the center of the bottom crease so that it forms a one-third angle (60 degrees).

{Flip}
6 Fold the back side so that it also forms a one-third angle. If it is not aligned properly, adjust it and fold it again to align.

29 Now there are folds to fold into a flower shape. Hold the ▲ at the fold you just made in step 28 with your fingers and gently fold the left and right sides together.

30 Fold naturally along the creases made in steps 17 to 28 to form the shape 31.

31 Structure seen from above at an angle.
32 Fold the paper in the front right, more than halfway from the right, but less than two-thirds of the way.
33 Fold the part folded in 32 in half.
34 Add a crease and return it to its original position.
35 Fold 35a, 35b, and 35c to form the shape of 35d.
Keeping this structure in mind, follow the specific steps from 36 onwards.
35a Open ⇒ and fold it into the shape of 35b.
35b Fold backwards.
35c Fold the other five peaks in the same way as 32 to 35b.
35d

36 Fold the right-front paper to the left.
37 Fold the right-front paper toward you, more than halfway but less than two-thirds from the right (①).
Next, fold the part you just folded in half (②).
Repeat this for all the mountain folds to create creases.
Once the creases are aligned, unfold it until it forms a regular hexagon.
38 Firmly mark the mountain fold and valley fold lines in the diagram on the creases made in 37. When you have finished folding, it will form the shape of 39.
39 Fold along the fold lines in the diagram to form the shape of 40.
40 Fold it into the shape of 41. You will end up with the structure shown in 35d.
41 Firmly hold down the position ▲ 35 mm from the bottom with your fingers, fold the top front paper downwards, and open the paper in between to the left and right to form the shape of a flower.

46 Your Venusaur flower is complete.

Venusaur Leaf

1 Fold up to the basic fold shape of 20.
Fold the top front piece of paper down at the base.
2
{Flip}
3
4 Fold the top diagonal side of the right front piece of paper to match the crease in the center.
5 Fold it to match the crease made in 4.
6 Turn it back.
7 Open the creases in the ● part and flatten the peaks to create a flat surface as shown in Figure 8 below.

Make the ● part flat (A)

Open the folds marked with ● in the left image, flatten the folds, and create a flat surface like the one in the right image.
An example of the specific steps is shown in the following image.

1 Stand the front right piece of paper up in the center.
2 Hold the two folded edges of the paper with your fingers, overlapping each other, at the ▲ part on each side, and slowly pull the paper left and right to open it.
3
4 Once the paper is fully opened, align the left corner B with A and fold the left CD.

5 Make a crease in the CD and return it to its original position.
6 Fold the right side of the CD, aligning the right corner B with A.
7 Make a crease in the CD and return it to its original position.
8 Make sure to fold along the mountain and valley fold lines in the diagram.
Next, pinch the ▲ parts with your fingers on both sides and move them towards the center, and the paper will fold itself in as it goes along.

11 Make the ● part flat (A) is complete.

9 Fold the other three piles as well, making the creases at the ● parts flat.
10 All four piles will be flat.
11 Make the joints smaller to ensure the freedom of movement of the four leaves.
Open ⇒ upwards, fold along the creases made in steps 5 and 6, and fold the front right piece of paper to the left.
12 Fold the pile folded in step 11 again.
13
14 Fold the other three places in the same way as steps 11 to 13.
15 The joints are now compact.
16 Change the top and bottom positions.
17 Fold the tip of the leaf.
{Reference} If you open it at this stage, it will have the shape of four leaves.

22 Fold the tip of the leaf in all four places.
23 Starting from the bottom, repeat the process of folding in half at 6-7 mm intervals.
24
25 Fold the other three places in the same way as steps 23-24.
26 Make a slit with scissors in only one place. This will be the adhesive tab where the flower stem will be glued.
27
{Flip}
28 Slowly pull out the folded paper and arrange the leaf shape.
29 The leaf is finished.

30 Place the flower stem between the tabs at the back of the leaf. Then, overlap the flower stem and leaf stem and use a stapler to attach them to the paper at the back of Venusaur’s body.
31 Venusaur is finished.
