First Fold


Begin with a sheet of paper. Printer paper usually works best due to its stiffness and good folding abilities. Take the top left corner of the sheet of paper and bring it down to the right side of the sheet, so the two edges are aligned and there is about one quarter of the paper left untouched at the bottom.
