Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Place your sheet of paper horizontally on the flat surface. Fold the left edge to the right edge. Make sure they are even, then crease with your finger. Keep the paper in the same position.

  2. Step 2

    Fold the bottom edge to the top edge. Make sure everything is even. Then crease. Open back up. Now turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise.

  3. Step 3

    Fold the top left and top right corners to the center crease you made. Make sure everything is even before creasing.

  4. Step 4

    Fold the bottom flap (located under the 2 corners you just folded down) up over the front of the paper. Turn the paper over and do the same on this side. Turn the paper back over.

  5. Step 5

    You will notice that on both of the bottom corners that there are small triangles. Fold the front triangles over to the back, under the triangles there. Then fold those triangles to the front. Do this on the left and right sides. You should now have a large triangle.

  6. Step 6

    Stand the triangle up. It will look like a pyramid. Now lift it over your head and look at the bottom edge. You will notice that it comes apart. Pull the two layers apart and crease. You should have a diamond.

  7. Step 7

    You will already notice the bottom corner, pointing at you, is coming apart. Pull the top layer up to the top corner that is pointing away from you. Flip it over and do the same on this side. You should now have a triangle.

  8. Step 8

    Stand the triangle up. It should look like a pyramid again, only smaller this time. Lift it up over your head and loo at the bottom edge. You will notice that it comes apart. Pull the two layers apart and flatten out. You should have another diamond, only smaller this time.

  9. Step 9

    Look at the diamond as it is. You will see that the left and right sides are triangles that are covering another diamond. Pull the 2 triangles apart. You will see that the inner diamond wants to go to one side. Let it. Then fold the side in front of you over it. Open it and hold it up straight. It should look like a boat.

  10. Step 10

    Turn the "boat" so that it is facing you vertically. Fold the triangle sticking out of the middle to one side.Hold it there. Turn it 90 degrees any way so that it is still vertical, but you see a side view of it. You will notice that the back spine has 2 corners. Put your thumb and index fingers on these corners and push down. It will eat your finger.

  11. Step 11

    Let go of the flap now. it should stay there on its own. Keeping your thumb and index fingers where they are, lift and close pac-man's mouth.
