The very first fold is to fold one wrapper hotdog style. The colored side should be on the bottom then you fold it up. Make a sharp crease then unfold.
Hotdog style is when you fold a piece of paper to make it more skinny but keep it the same length.

Fold to Middle

Now that you have the sharp crease in the middle, fold the sides to be parallel with the crease.
The wrapper should be the same length as a unfolded wrapper but more skinny.

Fold in Half

This step is very hard to explain, but ill do my best to explain.
You have to make at least two before you are able to do this step.
You have to put the two points through another links points, then slide until the end is touching the seconds links points. Keep doing this to make a long chain.

This maybe confusing so look at pictures.
