1. Make diagonal creases, press firmly, open again
2. Make side to side and top to bottom creases, open again
3. Place diagonally. Lift bottom point to top point and then
4. 'lift, open and push down' the right side point. Turn over and repeat with the other side until it looks like picture 5.

I've just made one, my cats are chasing and tossing it very happily.
Thank you!

You make it look so simple!

In related news, I have bought green napkins - I blame you ;-)

[silvan-lady.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'm sure they will look very pretty!

(I'm multi-tasking and keeping hubby company at the same time)

This looks simple but I just know it will end in tears. Nevertheless I am going to try it.

[silvan-lady.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they will look super!

I'll need to try that! - it's been years since I last tried to fold paper into some semblance of shape... maybe I've gotten more talented in the meantime :D

I used to do it quite a lot but not so much recently.

I'm going to buy some green origami paper.. :p

I just used standard A4 paper but origami paper would be even better.
