STEP 1

Start with a perfectly square sheet of paper Paper made specifically for origami can be found at most craft stores. It is usually colored only on one side. I used a sheet that was colored on both sides.

   

STEP 2

Begin by folding one edge to meet to other, with the colored side outward...

   

...to get this.

 

   

STEP 3

Open up the paper and lay it flat. Now repeat step 2 in the other direction, and open up it up again.

   

STEP 4

Fold it diagonally with the white side out (pink here). Line it up corner to corner...

   
...to get this.
   

STEP 5

Open up the paper, repeat step 4 in the other direction, and open up the paper again.
