Step 1.

Take a square sheet, lay it flat on the table in a diamond position.

additional information

  • The corners of the square are: top, right, bottom, and left.

Step 2.

Make a valley fold, vertical, by bringing the right corner over to the left corner.

Crease well, then unfold.

additional information

  • The vertical diagonal is a valley fold. (It forms a dip)

Step 3.

Turn the fold from right to left.

additional information

  • The square is still in a diamond position.
  • The vertical diagonal is a mountain fold. (It forms a ridge)

Step 4.

Make a valley fold by bringing the upper left edge along the mountain fold, corresponding to the vertical axis of symmetry, from left to right.

Step 5.

Make a valley fold by bringing from right to left, the upper right edge along the mountain fold, corresponding to the vertical axis of symmetry.

additional information

  • You get a vertical diamond, whose top and bottom points are connected by a vertical mountain fold.
  • The base of the kite is ready.
  • There is a diamond shape in a vertical position, with a sharp point at the top, and 2 triangular flaps on top.
  • You can feel a vertical mountain fold in the middle of the shape, which goes from the sharp point to the bottom point of the diamond. This is the vertical axis of symmetry.
  • The 2 upper flaps meet at the level of the vertical axis.
  • There is a left upper flap, and a right upper flap.
