Step 7: Collapse the triangles

There are several ways to do this, and I found flattening it out the most efficient. Simply pop the crease running down the center of the triangle out, and flatten it.

Bring it to the left, and press it against the layer under it.

Once you did that, open the triangle back up.

Bring the side of the adjacent trapezoid thing over, and cover the left half of the triangle.

Fold the excess paper back so it keeps the "leg" that we created together.

Do it to all four sides (the last side is more challenging than the others, but the method is basically the same. However, if any "leg" becomes loose or opens up, you'll have to fix them. Clipping them temporarily together with something like a paper clip or small peg could be a solution, but...O0O CHEATERS!)

 Hiya.. Have to agree with Migliore.. Spent some time this afternoon with these particular instructions melting my head.. The instructions and the photographs don't seem to correspond, perhaps wider images would sort this out.. Another suggestion might be to number each square on the 8x8 grid just for the photos, as sometimes when u spoke about triangles and squares I couldn't see them or figure out which ones or where you were talking about... Found this video link which is fairly easy to follow, you might find useful inspiration. All the best. O

you lost me here (step 7)  I fold a lot but the directions for this step didn't make sense to me. more pictures, a wide shot maybe would help

I posted a video...the person who made the video did that stepdifferently than what I did, and I personally thought her way needed abit more practice to get just right, but it will probably help xD
