Unfold the outer layers and press the small center square flat.

Turn over and cut the four indicated folded edges, stopping at the center section.

Lift the lower flap upward and fold its side edges to the center.

Bring the two upper layers down and fold their edges toward the middle.

Cut along the center line of the large lower flap to separate the two tails.

Fold each tail outward along the pictured diagonal.
