Vase
Reach underneath the top layer, and pull this side of the vase out.
Pull the opposite side of the model out and into position.
Pull the remaining sides out, until the bottom is flat.
The other two sides should come into shape much easier. You will probably warp the model during this process, which is fine. Just watch the locks to make sure they don't give.
Form the vase shape by reinforcing the folds, and stick your fingers inside to flatten the bottom so that the vase will stand up.

Getting the sides of the vase out can a little tricky. You will warp the paper a bit, and that is just fine. Reach under the first layer, and grab hold of the sides.
Reach underneath the first layer and pull one of the sides out from under.
Pull the edges outwards, so that the whole row is straight.
Straighten the side out so that half of the bottom of the vase rises into the air.
Straighten the side into shape, and turn the vase model around.

Vase
Valley fold the vase locks outwards, locking the model into shape.
Valley fold the lock creases that you had made. This fold locks the vase into shape.
Crease the locks very well. All of the folding for your vase model is complete. The rest involves popping the model into shape.
Now that you have a small flat piece of paper that isn't very impressive, you are all done folding. Turn the model over.
Turn the model over so that we can tease the sides of the vase out.

Vase
Valley fold the left and right edges of the vase model to meet in the middle.
Valley fold the left and right edges to meet in the center.
Valley fold the top and bottom edges of the vase model to meet in the center.
Valley fold the top and bottom edges to also meet in the middle.
Slide the flaps on the left and right sides under the pockets created by all this folding, so that the vase locks match up.

Vase
Squash fold all four edges of the vase model.
Repeat the squash fold four the other three sides.
Diagonally valley fold the inside edges of the vase locks outwards, crease the paper well and unfold.
Finish the lock off with two diagonal valley folds that split the lock. Do this with all of the vase locks.
Turn the paper back over in order to close up the vase model.
Crease the folds very well, and unfold them flat. Turn the model over.

Vase
Squash fold the top lock. The squash fold is created by making two diagonal folds, creasing well, unfolding, and then opening the layers up and flattening them.
The locks are positioned at the center of the four edges of the paper. Begin the vase lock with a squash fold.
To begin the squash fold, place your fingers at the edge of the valley fold. Put your other finger between the layers.
A squash fold is accomplished by putting your fingers at the bottom of the first valley crease, and using your other finger to lift the top layer, folding it backwards over your fingers.
Open the paper up, and flatten the top edge so that it meets down the center.

Vase
Colapse the paper by valley folding the folds just to the right and left of the center, and mountain folding the folds next to the valley folds. Crease well.
Horizontally colapse the paper from the center by valley folding the folds just to left and right of the center fold, and mountain folding the folds next to them.
Colapse the paper vertically by valley folding the folds just above and below the center fold, and mountain folding the folds next to the valley folds.
Verically colapse the paper in the same way, valley folding the folds above and below the center, and mountain folding the creases next to them.

Vase
Valley fold the top edge of the paper down to meet the lowest valley fold, this fold will bisect the fourth sixth from the top. Crease well, and unfold.
Bisect the fourth sixth by valley folding the top edge to meet the bottom valley fold. Crease well, and unfold.
Valley fold the top edge to meet the highest valley fold, and the bottom edge to meet the lowest. This will bisect the top and bottom sixths of the paper.
Bisect the first and last sixths by valley folding the top edge to the closest valley fold, and the bottom edge similiarly. Crease well and unfold.

Vase
Valley fold the paper in half, strong crease, and unfold.
Valley fold the paper in half, bisecting the center third. Strong crease, and unfold.
Valley fold the top and bottom thirds of the paper in half, crease well, and unfold.
Valley fold the top and bottom thirds in half. Crease well and unfold. Your paper is now folded into sixths.
Valley fold the bottom edge up to meet the highest valley fold, which will create a valley fold halfway through the third sixth of the paper from the bottom. Crease well, and unfold.
We now will bisect the first, third, fourth, and sixth sections in half. To begin, valley fold the paper so that the bottom edge meets the top valley fold. This will bisect the third sixth. Crease well and unfold.

Only a single piece of paper is used in the construction, but the mix of negative space and angular contrast gives the illusion of several models combined.
If you are looking for a model that impresses the socks off of everybody, you are looking for the origami vase. Only a single piece of paper is used in the construction, but the mix of negative space and angular contrast gives the illusion of several models combined. Patterns and prints bring out the eye catching nature of this lovely paper vase. Most amazing is the clever locking mechanism that supports the entire structure from the center. The resulting vase is water tight, provided that your paper is, and could hold living or origami flowers.
