Step 8: Rotate the paper so that the square is at the bottom and the two triangles are at the top. Step 7: Unfold the two folds you just made and cut along those newest fold lines to remove the right and left points. Step 5: Fold the right point in to touch the middle. Cut the bottom square out of the paper using scissors. Step 4: Unfold the entire paper and lay it out flat. But this time, step 4 is slightly different. The first three steps in this method are exactly the same as the method above. Step 6: Do the same with the other side, tucking the point into the little “pocket” you’ve created. Step 5: Take the right point and fold it up towards the top point again, but this time instead of folding it and leaving it there, tuck the point down behind the flap you just created with the previous fold. Then take the top layer of paper and fold the top point down so that it touches the original fold line at the bottom. Step 4: Unfold the last two folds so that the original paper is just folded in half again. Step 3: Do the same with the other side so that you end up with a small square.
Step 2: Take the right point and bring it up to meet the top point, and fold. Fold the paper in half by taking the bottom point and bringing it up to meet the top point. Flip it over so the back side faces up, and rotate it 45 degrees like a diamond. If you’d prefer written instructions, I’ve got them below.
