Completely open paper up. We're going to use  creases we just made. Fold little triangle up. Fold bottom left up. Fold bottom right up & pinch middle. It's standing straight up. Repeat on other side.

Turn paper over. Fold top & the bottom so they're sticking straight up. I could only use one hand, but pinch both & bring them to center. It will close in 1/2. Run hand over it on table to smooth it.
