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
- You 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 will fold three of the corners to the center of the sheet:
Form a horizontal valley fold by bringing the top corner down to the center of the sheet.
Crease well, and leave it folded.
Step 5.
Form a vertical valley fold by bringing the right corner to the center of the sheet.
Crease well, and leave it folded.
Step 6.
Form a vertical valley fold by bringing the left corner to the center of the sheet.
Crease well, and leave it folded.
additional information
- You obtain 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 model over 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 model 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 model moves above it.

- The upper corners are two right-angled triangular pockets, with the opening on the hypotenuse side.
- The top edge of the two large single-layer triangular flaps is aligned with the opening of the pocket.
- The tip of these flaps is on the outside of the pentagonal shape underneath.
- We will first take care of the right part of the model:
Step 10.
Open the pocket located in the upper right corner.
Slide your finger inside, and bring the top horizontal edge to the right so that it becomes vertical over the vertical edge of the shape.
Flatten it, crease the folds well, then return the pocket to its initial state.
additional information
- This operation created an oblique mountain fold, connecting the top right 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 right).
Step 11.
Bring the intersection point of the mountain fold and the hypotenuse above the right outer edge of the shape.
additional information
- We obtain a sort of lying 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-ceiling.
- An oblique 45° valley fold, against the crease.
- 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 upper 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 directly above the left outer edge of the shape.
additional information
- This creates a sort 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 from table to ceiling.
- A valley fold at a 45° angle, against the fold.
- And a mountain fold.
Step 17.
Place the left index finger at the opening of the small pocket, and the right index finger against the right side of this pocket.

Let the triangular flap that was underneath come back up (without folding its tip).
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 model, locate on each side the intersection point between the outer vertical edge of the bottom shape and the slanted lower edge of the large single-layer triangular flap.
Form from bottom to top a horizontal valley fold along the imaginary line passing through the two intersection points identified.
Crease well, then unfold.
