Next we do what is called an “inside reverse fold.” Along the crease you created, you are going to open to the diamond again on the half of the triangle you just worked on. Once it is creased, bring it back to the triangle. On the half of the triangle that does not have a flap, crease it upwards. When its finished it will look like a smaller diamond is sitting on top of a larger diamond.įold your piece in half longways, so that the little flaps you've created in instruction five are visible. Basically, you put your index finger into one of the pockets your foldings in instruction 4 created, and reverse the small fold so that it goes the opposite way. Now you do what is called a “squash fold” to both sides. Your paper should now resemble a kite.įold the corners created by instruction 3 into the center line. Take the right and left corners and fold them towards the center. Make a fold from one diagonal to another then unfold. Start with square sheet of paper with colored side face down.
