Step 1: Grab Your Sheet of Origami Paper

Pick your favorite color.

Step 2: Fold It

Fold it and then unfold it.

Step 3: Fold Into Center

After unfolding, fold it into center to get 4 rectangles or 3 creases.

Step 4: Fold the Same the Other Way

So the same folds you did but you want to do these next ones perpendicular to the ones you just did.

Fold in half -> unfold -> fold to the center. You'll end up with 16 boxes.

Step 5: Fold in Half to Make a Triangle

Fold again in half but this time to make a triangle. Unfold and do the same the other way. (perpendicular to the way you just did.) Unfold after.

Step 6: Fold Corners Into Center

Now with the uncolored side up, fold the corners into the center.

Step 7: Tricky Part

Position your paper like shown above. Folded into the center long way to make a rectangle.

Grab the top corner flaps and flare it outwards to the side. Push down on the bottom behind the flaps (part touching the table) and follow it through onto the paper making a trapezoid shape.

Step 8: Apply the Tricky Part to the Other Side As Well.

Do the same as before the the other half/side. Don't unfold.
