We fold the workpiece in half horizontally and carefully iron the fold line so that it is clear. Now the square needs to be expanded and folded vertically and also iron the fold so that it is clearly visible. When you unfold your pattern, there should be a square with two lines that intersect each other.

Next, you need to fold a square paper sheet diagonally. First fold along one diagonal and iron the fold, and then do the same with the other diagonal. Now bend each corner of the square towards the center so that a rhombus is formed.
