Fold a piece of square origami paper in half, diagonally. You will get a shape of a triangle.
Take the top layer of paper, at the top of the triangle, and fold the top to the bottom. You will see a white square form inside your triangle.
Bring both left and right corner of the triangle to the center (at the bottom). Make sure the folds are super crisp.
Unfold both sides.
Now fold the same two corners to the top of your triangle, transforming it to a square. Again, make the folds nice and crisp.
Tuck them into the pocket that has formed.
