Freehanded Miura fold || 1 sheet (7.50 x 15.00, 1:2)

only god knows what the angles are. the concept is so simple that it’s very easy to freehand just by pleating the paper in nonparallel lines, then folding a bunch of diagonal creases. Although, all the creases should all be acute in the same direction (i.e. /_/_/, never \_/_\).

Also I’m pretty sure that the main thing that makes the Miura fold notable as opposed to merely another tessellation is that it’s rigid (parallelograms remain flat when folding), but I’m not sure thats even preserved when we get arbitrary with the angles. maybe I’ll upload the gif? let me know in the comments
