Having formed this figure you may proceed to the more intricate folds derived from this foundation. While making these first folds a couple of sheets of stiff paper will be of assistance in keeping them in place while turning them over. Another thing is to have the handkerchiefs ironed smooth, and if they are stiff from starch all the better.
Fold A.—Starting with No. 5 as a base, turn it over, then turn corners E, F, G, H, to center. Allow it to remain with same face upward. Turn new corner to the center and secure it. Now turn the handkerchief face upward and center points will turn themselves outward. The inner points are turned back from the center, making the complete figure as shown.
GRAND ARCH, COVERED WITH FOLDED HANDKERCHIEFS.—Morton.
FRONTAL ARCH OF FOLDED HANDKERCHIEFS.—Shogran.
Fold B.—This is the same as the center portion of fold A. It is made in precisely the same manner, but with the addition that the loose outer points of A are turned to the back and secured.
