Smooth the crease down so that a horizontal side is now closest to you. Unfold the paper. Fold the left side over to the right side and smooth the crease down. Unfold the paper.
- 2). Fold the upper left corner into the center of the paper. Smooth the crease down. Fold the upper right corner into the center of the paper and smooth the crease down. Unfold the left corner. Fold the tip of the left corner to the center before the fold and smooth it down. Fold the two other corners that have not been folded into the center. Smooth the two corners down.
- 3). Adjust the now rectangular paper so that it is on the table with the longer side nearest you. Unfold the two side flaps. Fold the left flap into the center of the paper at an angle toward the top of the paper. Smooth the flap down. Unfold the flap and repeat this procedure, only folding the flap into the center at an angle toward the bottom of the paper.
- 4). Push in on the two sides of the flap. Push the flap down onto the center of the paper. Push the flap to the left and smooth it down. Lift the flap and push it down to the right and smooth it down. Lift the flap.
- 5). Turn the paper over. Push in on the sides of the flap. Push the tip of the flap over to the left. Lift the flap so it is pointed straight up. Push in on the sides of the flap to form a tube. Flatten the top of the flap down onto the paper. Smooth the sides down. Fold the small point at one end of the flap over onto the flap and smooth it down. Fold the point at the other end of the flap into the center of the flap and smooth it down. Fold the tip of the flap back and smooth it down.
- 6). Turn the paper over so that the flap is farthest from you. Unfold the sides of the paper. Push up on each side as you press it back toward the center. Flatten the sides and smooth them down. Turn the paper over so that the flap is to your left. Fold the top of the paper over to the bottom and smooth the crease down.
- 7). Unfold the two sides of the point at the end of the flap outward. Press in on the two sides of the point as you push them toward each other. Unfold the entire side of the flap. Turn the paper over and repeat this procedure.
- 8). Fold the point at the end of the flap up and toward the center of the paper. Lift the flap up and then turn the paper over and repeat this procedure. Adjust the position of the paper so that it is vertical with the flap farthest from you. Fold the upper layer of the flap away from the flap. Turn the paper over and repeat this procedure.
