here is another origami snail (inspired by Helicophanta ibraoensis), much more simple than the last. These are the instructions. This took a long time so u better try it ;D sorry its not the best of quality. btw mountain fold means a fold backwards.
step 1:start with a standard sized retangle. crease down the middle horizontally
step 2: fold so point A lies on line B and connects with corner C
step 3: now fold so edge D lies on edge E
step 4: unfold steps 2 and 3
step 5: cut along the creases made in step 2 and 3. you are left with an equilateral triangle. rotate 60 degrees.
step 6: crease so point F meets point G
step 7: repeat step 6 on the two other points
step 8: fold on the crease made in step 6
step 9: fold one flap to the left on the crease shown (the model will not lie flat)
step 10: flatten the model on the creases shown
step 11: fold one flap down
step 12: fold point H to point I
step 13: swing the large flap to the right
step 14: repeat steps 11-12 on this side
step 15: fold the flap on the left to the right. rotate the model about 20 degrees to the right and turn over.
step 16: fold the flap up where indicated. the fold should not extend to point J. repeat behind
step 17: fold so edge K lies on edge M. repeat behind.
step 18: wrap the shaded flap behind (outside reverse fold) repeat behind.
step 19: pleat
step 20: mountain fold the behind flap.
step 21: the next two steps will focus on the head
step 22:behind the front tentacle complete this fold through 2 flalps
step 23: do a little mountain fold in the corner
step 24: mountain fold
step 25: mountain fold
step 26: continue mountain folding until you reach a tiny point.
step 27: open out the base so the snail can stand.
if you have any problems don't be afraid to ask. oh yeah and step 18 is optional.
