First you fold it diagonally in half. (hold the top left corner and place it on top of the bottom right corner, do the same thing but on the opposite side)

Then fold it in half horizontally and vertically shown in the picture.

Now you will have to fold it into diamond base. Diamond base is (An origami base that involves folding in succession two pairs of adjacent edges to a diagonal of a square).

Step Two
