Start with the white side of the paper facing up, fold it in half vertically, leaving a crease then unfold it.

Step 2

Cut the paper along the crease.

Step 3

Take one of the paper, fold its top edge to align with the left edge, and unfold it.

Step 4

Fold the top edge, align with the right edge, crease it well, and then unfold it.

Step 5

Fold the top edge to meet the intersection point formed by the two creases you just made, leaving a crease, then unfold it.

Step 6

Fold the paper in half vertically, crease it well, and unfold it.

Step 7

Fold the left and right edges to align with the middle vertical crease, and unfold them.

Step 8

Bring up the left, right, and top edges along the creases indicated by the dotted lines, then flatten the fold.

Step 9

Flip the paper.

Step 10

Fold the top left and right corners along the dotted lines to meet the middle vertical line.

Step 11

Fold up the two points of the two top layers along the dotted lines.

Step 12

Fold the paper in half vertically from the right to the left, then fold the right edge to the left along the dotted line [picture 2], and fold it back to the right to align with the right edge indicated by the red line [picture 3]. Finally, expand the paper to the original shape like the first picture, then flip the paper over.

Step 13

Shape the creases shown by the white dotted lines, and fold them to align with the middle vertical crease along the black dotted lines. [Slightly press down the top edge, making the top part arched]

Step 14

Turn over the paper.

Step 15

Close the paper upward along, and rotate it 90 degrees horizontally.

Step 16

Fold up the bottom right point of the top layer along the black dotted line.

Step 17

Flip the model over.

Step 18

Similarly, fold up the bottom left point of the top layer along the dotted line, to overlap the bottom layer you just made.

Step 19

Fold up the bottom corner along the dotted line, creating a small triangle. Then fold the top edge of the triangle to align with its bottom edge, and finally unfold them.
