Step 1.
Take a square sheet, lay it flat on the table in a diamond position.
additional information
- The corners of the square are at the top, right, bottom, and left.
Step 2.
Make a vertical valley fold by bringing the left corner over to the right corner.
Crease well, then unfold.
Step 3.
Make a horizontal valley fold by bringing the bottom corner up to the top corner.
Crease well, then unfold.
additional information
- We have just marked the diagonals of the original square.
- They are valley folds, and their intersection marks the center of the sheet.
Step 4.
We are going to fold three of the corners to the center of the sheet:
Make a horizontal valley fold by bringing the top corner down to the center of the sheet.
Crease the fold well and let it fold.
Step 5.
Make a vertical valley fold by bringing the right corner to the center of the sheet.
Crease the fold well and let it fold.
Step 6.
Make a vertical valley fold by bringing the left corner to the center of the sheet.
Crease the fold well and let it fold.
additional information
- You get a five-sided shape, with a single thickness point at the bottom.
- This shape has three triangular flaps, each connected to the shape by a hinge edge.
Step 7.
Turn the folding from right to left.
additional information
- A mountain fold connects the middle of the top edge to the bottom point. This is the vertical axis of symmetry.
Step 8.
Bring, with a vertical valley fold from right to left, the right edge of the pentagon shape along the vertical axis of symmetry.
Let the triangular flap underneath return to the right (without folding it).
additional information
- The triangular flap that was under the fold moves above it.
Step 9.
Bring, with a vertical valley fold from left to right, the left edge of the pentagon shape along the vertical axis of symmetry.
Let the triangular flap underneath return to the left (without folding it).
additional information
- The triangular flap that was under the fold moves above it.
- The right and left parts of the fold are symmetrical.
- The upper corners are two right-angle triangular pockets, with the opening on the hypotenuse side.
- The upper edge of the two large single-layer triangular flaps is aligned with the opening of the pocket.
- The tip of these flaps is outside the pentagonal shape of the bottom.
- We will first take care of the right part of the fold:
Step 10.
Open the pocket located in the upper right corner.
Slide your finger inside, and move the upper horizontal edge to the right, so that it becomes vertical over the vertical edge of the shape.
Flatten, make the creases well defined, then return the pocket to its original state.
additional information
- This operation created an oblique mountain fold, connecting the upper right corner to the oblique slot corresponding to the hypotenuse.
- This mountain fold is extended by a valley fold, which connects the oblique slot to the hinge edge of the triangular front flap (on the right).
Step 11.
Bring the intersection point of the mountain fold and the hypotenuse directly above the right outer edge of the shape.
additional information
- You get a kind of lying-down pyramid, made up of three triangles: a left wall, a roof, and a right wall.
- We will focus on the double-thickness part of the left wall.
- It is a small triangular pocket made up of:
- A vertical opening oriented table-to-ceiling.
- A 45° oblique valley fold, against the fold.
- And a mountain fold.
Step 12.
Place the right index finger at the opening of the small pocket, and the left index finger against the left side of this pocket.
Step 13.
Open the pocket with the right index finger, while pushing the left index finger to the right, to reverse the mountain fold and the valley fold.
additional information
- The result is a triangular pocket oriented upwards, with the opening on the right, and the valley fold horizontal against the fold.
Step 14.
Tilt this small pocket against the fold, with the small point facing 12 o'clock.
We will now take care of the left part of the fold:
Step 15.
Open the pocket located in the top left corner.
Slide your finger inside, and bring the top horizontal edge to the left, so that it becomes vertical over the vertical edge of the shape.
Flatten, clearly mark the folds, then return the pocket to its original state.
additional information
- This operation has created an oblique mountain fold, connecting the top left corner to the oblique slit corresponding to the hypotenuse.
- This mountain fold is extended by a valley fold, which connects the oblique slit to the hinge edge of the front triangular flap (on the left).
Step 16.
Bring the intersection point of the mountain fold and the hypotenuse to be aligned with the left outer edge of the shape.
additional information
- This results in a kind of lying-down pyramid, made up of three triangles: a left wall, a roof, and a right wall.
- We will focus on the double-thickness part of the right wall.
- It is a small triangular pocket consisting of,
- A vertical opening oriented table-to-ceiling.
- With a valley fold at a 45° angle, against the crease.

additional information
- Two large single-layer triangular flaps extend to the right and left of the shape.
Step 21.
On the lower part of the folding, locate on each side the intersection point between the outer vertical edge of the underlying shape and the lower slanted edge of the large single-layer triangular flap.

Firmly crease the fold, then unfold.
Step 22.
Turn the folding from right to left.
additional information
