The first fold and the steps that follow
Here you see the first 2 steps; the other 23 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 edges have to meet exactly.
Fold the square in half, downwards.
Bring the top edge down onto the bottom edge. The fold is horizontal, halfway up. You get a rectangle with the coloured side facing up.
Line up the edges well before pressing the fold.
Fold the rectangle in half, to the left.
