"We are ready to begin making our plane. For the first fold, you want to have the paper oriented in a portrait style vertically. And, if you're left handed you start with this corner and bring it down. If you're right handed like I am, take the top right corner pull it until the left edge is flush. You will then keep that straight with one hand and run your finger along this forty-five degree angle to the corner. Make sure the creases are very sharp. Go over it a few times with your thumb if you want. Or, with the palm of your hand to make sure it's sharp and there's no air between.
