Fold in half vertically.
 
Push in the triangular shapes at the left and right hand side until they fold in to the middle.
 
Lay it flat so that you have a triangle shape.
 
Now, take the top corner on the right hand side and fold it upwards, so that the bottom edge is flush with the middle of the triange.
 
Repeat this with the left hand side.
 
Now repeat this, folding the right hand side in to meet the middle.
