Step 5
Pinch the creases that were made in the previous step together,
forming two rectangles put on top of each other in their corners.
Step 6
Unfold paper (there should be 6 creases)
Step 7
Pinch the diagonal creases shortways so that it forms a pentagon (a square with triangle on top)

Step 8
Fold in the side flaps to the center, so that the triangle is smaller and the rectangle bigger.
and fold the flaps on the other side
