EASY · TRADITIONAL MODEL
Lantern
A traditional model: you bring the four corners to the centre three times, turning the paper over each time, and at the end you open two opposite pockets and squash them flat. Here you learn to squash a pocket of the triple blintz.

The first fold and the steps that follow
Here you see the first 2 steps; the other 17 continue in the app.
Get your paper ready.
Lay a square sheet down with one edge towards you, as an ordinary square (not as a diamond). If one side is coloured, put it face down and the white side face up.
Use smooth, properly square paper: in the next folds the corners have to meet exactly at the centre.
Bring the top left corner to the centre.
Fold the top left corner towards you, onto the centre of the paper. The fold is diagonal and runs through the middle of the two edges of that corner.
The centre is where the diagonals of the paper would cross: bring the corner right onto it and press the fold with your fingernail from the inside outwards.
Bring the top right corner to the centre.
