Hi! We are going to fold a traditional origami crab!
This is "...and origami for all"
and I am danbergam.
"Fold your imagination!"
Please, turn on the annotations and the subtitles
in your YouTube player to better enjoy this video!
You will need a frog base. Click the picture

For the way the frog base is made
and because the origami crab has four legs
the same few steps
need to be repeated on some faces of the base.
We will use their specific features
to determine what to do and where!
Step 1
Keeping the figure
with its "legs" pointing down
reach one rhomb-shaped face
and fold up the triangle pointing down
from the horizontal axis of the rhomb itself.
Step 2
On another similar face, repeat Step 1
by folding up the triangle in the middle of the rhomb.
Step 3
On another similar face of the frog base
repeat Step 1.
Step 4
On the last face left with that triangle folded down
repeat Step 1.
Step 5
On one of the faces
on which Step 1 was applied
fold the lower sides of the rhomb
so that they overlap the vertical axis of the figure.
Step 6
Repeat Step 5
on another one of the faces
on which Step 1 was applied.
Step 7
Repeat Step 5 on the third face
on which Step 1 was previously applied.
Step 8
Repeat Step 5 on the fourth face
on which Step 1 was applied.
With this series of four steps
the crab's legs are now thinner.
With the next series of four steps
we will begin to form the legs of the crab.
Step 9
Make an oblique crease at the base of a leg
then reverse fold it so that its outer layers
become inner ones.
Make sure it slightly points up!
Step 10
Repeat Step 9 on another leg of the crab.
Step 11
Repeat Step 9 on another leg of the crab.
Step 12
Repeat Step 9 on the fourth leg of the crab.
Step 13
Fold the top triangle back, in order to form
the head of the crab.
Step 14
On a leg, make an oblique crease
at the middle of its length and reverse fold it down
by making the outer layers become inner ones.
Step 15
Repeat Step 14.
Step 16
Repeat Step 14.
Step 17
Repeat Step 14 on the fourth leg.
