  Step 1

  Begin with the paper side facing up. Valley fold in half diagonally from corner to corner. Then unfold.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut along the crease you just made. You will have two triangles, each of which makes an insert.

• 

  Step 3

  Take one of the triangles. Valley fold one edge down about half inch (1 cm). Then fold over again. Then unfold.

• 

  Step 4

  Repeat step 3 on the other two sides.

• 

  Step 5

  Note the circled points of intersection. Valley fold through those points perpendicular to the bottom edge. Then unfold.

• 

  Step 6

  Note the circled points of intersection. Valley fold through those points perpendicular to the side edges. Then unfold.

• 

  Step 7

  Note the circled points of intersection. Valley fold to those points, bisecting the angles. Then unfold.

• 

  Step 8

  Note the circled point of intersection. Valley fold to the points, bisecting the angle. Then unfold.

• 

  Step 9

  Valley fold the corners to the creases you made in step 6.

• 

  Step 10

  Bring the two sides up and bring the corner to the side. The model will not lie flat.

• 

  Step 11

  Wrap one layer down along the crease, locking it into place.

• 

  Step 12

  Bring the final side up and the two corners over, mountain folding from the intersection of the valley folds to the far corners.

• 

  Step 13

  Valley fold the third side down, locking the two side corners.

• 

  Step 14

  The completed insert.

• 

  Step 15

  To make the other insert, fold the other triangle in the same way. The size given for the stiffened fabric will fit into a box that is 4 inches (10 cm) square.
