10. Place the lower edge of the paper on the middle fold.

11. Place the right edge on the left edge, as if turning a book.

13. Place the lower left corner on the already existing fold towards right.

14. Place the upper left corner on the already existing fold downwards. Then rotate the paper around 60°, to the position as shown in fig.15.

60°

12. Place the lower right corner according to the position points and the dotted line. Fold sharp and unfold. Finally place the corner back to its position.

15. Place the lower left corner according to the position points and the dotted line. Fold sharp. Finally open the paper and rotate again as shown in fig.16.

16. Repeat the steps 7-15 on the other 3 positions. The result is visible in fig 17. Finally turn
