Use two identical squares of
paper.
Wings
1 Valley fold the opposite sides and edges together in turn
to mark the vertical and horizontal fold-lines, and open them up.
2 Turn the paper over. Valley fold the
opposite corners together in turn to mark the diagonal fold-line, and open it up. Repeat
this action for making the second diagonal.
3 Press the middle of fold-lines, until the sides pop up.
Bring the sides together and down towards you. Press the top down neatly.
4 Valley fold the front flap's lower corners over, to meet
the top corner. Press them flat and unfold them. Repeat it behind.
5 Valley fold the right-hand upper sloping edge over, so it
lies along the vertical middle line. Repeat it with the left-hand edge.
6 Lift the bottom corners up, to meet the top corner.
7 The result. Turn the model over.
8 Repeat steps 5-7. Valley fold the right-hand upper sloping
edge over, so it lies along the vertical middle line. Repeat it with the left-hand edge.
After that, lift the bottom corners up, to meet the top corner.
9 Valley fold and unfold the bottom part of model.
10 Valley fold two corners from top to bottom. Repeat behind.
11 Undertake forward two corners by one hand, and behind a
back two other hand and pull in the direction shown by the arrows. A pyramid from above
should turn out.

edge. Repeat it with the left-hand corner.
5 Valley fold the sides, covering one another, so that the
bottom corner was divided into three equal parts.
6 Valley fold and unfold the model in half.
7 Valley fold the lower sloping edges over, so they lie along
the vertical middle line.
8 At first, mountain fold the top tip back After that,
mountain fold the two-layered point as shown, thereby making the future head of the
dragonfly, simultaneously valley fold the sides together toward you.
9 Curve the body of the dragonfly. Insert the wings under the
