Materials: A square piece of paper. Any size is fine, but 6x6 inches works well for beginners.
Step 1
Start with the color side up.
Step 2
Fold the paper in half horizontally (edge to edge). Crease well and unfold. Fold in half vertically in the opposite direction. This creates a vertical and horizontal cross crease.
Step 3
Flip paper over so white side is facing up.
Fold the paper in half horizontally from one corner to the opposite corner. Crease well, then unfold. You should have a diagonal crease line.
Fold the paper diagonally again in the opposite direction. Crease well and unfold. You should now see an “X” crease pattern.
Step 4
Use both hands (on right and left edges on the center points) to press down. Make sure both center points meet at the center point of the bottom edge. Flatten to create a triangle shape with four flaps.
