Waterbomb Model

Yes, this is a fully functional origami water balloon

Everybody always told me not to get paper wet.  Not the newspaper, not the phone book, not the bills, not my textbooks, nothing paper could go in the bathtub.  Nothing liquid could go into the library.  Water and paper do not mix.  This is what they told me, and I think it explains my facination with origami that involves water.  Making paper involves allot of wet paper, the cup holds water, and the waterbomb transports water from your hand to your recipient..

Begin with a waterbomb base. Valley fold one of the four flaps in half.

 Beginning with the waterbomb base, valley fold one of the flaps down to the bottom point.

Valley fold the triangle vertically, creating a little pocket.

 I've outlined the piece we'll be working with.  We need to create four "locks", so you'll repeat this part four times.  Valley fold the flap in half vertically, which will create a little pocket on the bottom of the flap.
