You'll need a stiffish card about the size of a playing card. Stiffer-than-normal playing cards work well but I used a Horrible Science fact card. MetCards (Australian public transport ticket) also work well.
First, fold from one corner into the side to make a sort of trapezium shape. Open it back up and do the same for the other side. You should end up with an 'x' shaped crease.
Where the 'x' meets, fold the card back horizontally. You should now have a horizontal crease through the center of your 'x'.
