Then valley fold again as shown. The origami piece should now look like this:
Make a pleat as shown to start forming the nose of the dolphin.
Next do an inside reverse fold to start forming the tail.
Then reverse fold only the inner layer of the tail upwards.
Make another valley fold to complete the flipper. Then do small valley folds on the nose to make a curved shape.
Fold the tip of the nose back, then turn the piece over.
Your origami dolphin is now complete!
