Instructions

  1. Small dscf2510 1266904371

    first you flatten out your plastic bag......

  2. Small dscf2511 1266904459

    you then fold it in half...the long way....

  3. Small dscf2512 1266904472

    you fold it in half the long way one more time.....

  4. Small dscf2513 1266904468

    you fold the tip on either corner down...to make a sideways triangle

  5. Small dscf2514 1266904485

    you now turn it around...so it should look like this..

  6. Small dscf2515 1266904546

    you now bring down the long rectangle area to make it look like this....( did that make sence??)

  7. Small dscf2516 1266904560

    you do that step again...so it should look like this now

  8. Small dscf2517 1266904564

    and one more time.....

  9. Small dscf2518 1266904954

    one last time....

  10. Small dscf2519 1266904998

    ok this is kinda hard.....the last flap you folded...you put it under the first triangle flap
