And do this for all four sections that we've just cut. Turn the unit to the other side and do the same thing, and they should match, the top and they should match. Do the same thing. These will become the legs of our horse. Now lift up your unit this way so that the sink fold is on the bottom, this is the base of our horse. Take one of these sections, the top point we are going to fold down, just a little bit, just a little triangle on top. Refold, and then these guiding creases we are going to take the section and fold it back along these guiding creases, like this. And do this for all four sides. Fold this back along the guiding crease, turn the unit to the other side, fold the guiding crease back, and same thing over here."
