You are first going to fold in half lengthwise and then again from top to bottom.

Do a Sequence

First you are going to fold one of the corners to the center crease, then bring that crease and align it with the center crease again, fold to that center crease and fold it all back over as shown. (Man… i said “center crease” a lot!😂)

Repeat on All Sides

Roll the Sides Into the Center
