This is the sim plest of the base folds. When doing the mountain fold, it is easiest to tu rn the paper over (the mountain fo ld becomes a valley fo ld), then tu rn the paper back over and push your finger in to the point where all the creases meet. The sides should pop up making it easy to com plete the base fold.1 .Fold and crease the valley fo lds AD and BC, then the m ountain fo ld EF.2 .Move the sides inwards, b ring ing the top edge downwards.3 .The com pleted fold.
