Spring-diagram


Spring-diagram

I've started Diagramming for some of the Items I've made and here's number one for you. To make the Spring as in the figure:
Step1:
First take the print out of the Crease pattern given there and fold along all the lines. Black for valley folds and blue for the mountain folds.
Step2:
Roll it up as shown so as to form a cylinder like structure, and over lap one of the edges there.
Step3:
If you've done the creases right, this step will be not-so-difficult. If you have any doubt about your creases, I strongly suggest you redo your creases.
Once you've done your creases, and hold it up as in step 2, you should see that the top tends to twist in clockwise(it's not wrong if yours is anti-clock though). So twist it while flattening it gradually. Now you have something similar to the figure in step 3.
Step4:
Now all you've got to do is repeat the step3 along the length of the cylinder and have the spring shaped up in your hands.

Good luck!!
