5. Unfold the paper. Your square should now have two diagonal creases, forming an "X."

6. Flip the paper over to the other side.

7. Fold the paper in half horizontally.

8. Unfold to reveal the new crease from the previous fold.

9. Fold the paper in half vertically.

10. Unfold to reveal the new crease.
