Step 1. Take a square piece of a paper, and rotate it diagonally. Place the decorative side down. The next step will be to fold the three corners of the paper toward the middle, the corner points must meet at the center of the paper and must slightly overlap in order to make room for gluing them together.

Step 2. Gently bend the paper to see how it looks, do not make a proper crease unless you are fully satisfied. You can use a bone folder to make a stiff crease if your paper is little thick

Step 3. This step includes gluing the seams together with craft glue. Be careful to not glue the paper from inside, just paste the seams that you folded.
