I. Fold the paper in half in a way that one side overlaps the other by an inch . Glue them together.
II. Fold the sides of the folded side in about 1-2 cm.fold it backwards and inwards. You should get fold marks on either sides.
III. push the middle fold mark so that it comes inside the fold marks of either side.
IV. For covering up the bottom, fold the bottom part in a couple of centimeters which can vary according to the size of your paper.
V. Push the sides of the folded parts on both sides inside so that you get triangular folds. Fold the other two sides and glue them together
