Step 1.
Take a square sheet, lay it flat on the table, the bottom edge horizontal.
additional information
- If it is two-colored, place the colored side on the table.
- The corners of the square are: top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left.
Step 2.
Make a vertical valley fold by bringing the right edge over to the left edge.
Crease well and then unfold.
Step 3.
Make a horizontal valley fold by bringing the bottom edge up to the top edge.
Crease well and then unfold.
additional information
- We have just marked the medians of the initial square.
Step 4.
Rotate the model into a diamond position without turning it over.
additional information
- The corners of the square are now: top, right, bottom, and left.
Step 5.
Make a valley fold, vertical, by bringing the right corner to the left corner.
Crease well, then unfold.
Step 6.
Make a valley fold, horizontal, by bringing the bottom corner to the top corner.
Crease well, then unfold.
additional information
- We have just marked the diagonals of the initial square.
- On the sheet, the diagonals and medians are in valleys (the folds form hollows).
- The intersection of the diagonals and medians corresponds to the center of the model.
- The sheet is still in a diamond position.
Step 7.
Make a valley fold, vertical, by bringing the right corner to the center of the model.
Crease well, and leave folded.
Step 8.
Form a valley fold, vertical, by bringing from left to right, the left corner to the center of the crease.
Firmly mark the fold, and leave it folded.
additional information
- The model is a hexagon whose right and left edges are vertical.
Step 9.
Form a valley fold, horizontal, by bringing from bottom to top, the lower corner of the fold, about one centimeter above the center of the fold.
Firmly mark the fold, and leave it folded.
additional information
- The front flap is a single-layer pentagon, whose base is horizontal and the free tip faces 12 o'clock
- The middle flaps are two single-layer triangles whose free tip is at the center of the original square.
- The back flap is a large single-layer pentagon, whose base is horizontal and the free tip faces 12 o'clock
Step 10.
Form a mountain fold between the free tip of the front flap and the upper right corner of the back flap.
Crease well, then unfold.
additional information
- Warning, the mountain fold does not follow the slanted edge of the right middle flap.
Step 11.
Form a mountain fold between the free tip of the front flap and the upper left corner of the back flap.
Crease well, then unfold.
additional information
- Warning, the mountain fold does not follow the slanted edge of the left middle flap.
Step 12.
About 1 cm below the top point of the model, make a horizontal mountain fold to bring the top point under the fold.
Crease well and leave it folded.
additional information
- The top edge of the fold is small and horizontal.
Step 13.
Turn the model over from right to left.
Step 14.
Using the existing folds, bring the right part of the fold against the left part, while lowering the top part between what becomes the front flap and the back flap.
additional information
- The horse's muzzle is on the left.
