Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Start with a large square sheet of sturdy paper.
2. Fold the paper in half diagonally to form a triangle, then unfold.
3. Fold the paper in half diagonally the opposite way, then unfold to create intersecting crease lines.
4. Fold each corner of the square inward to the center point where the diagonal creases intersect.
5. Fold the new corners inward to the center again, forming a smaller square.
6. Carefully unfold the last step to reveal a square with creases.
7. Fold the paper along the creases to form a tent-like triangular shape resembling a shelter.
8. Use tape or glue to secure edges if needed to hold the shape.
9. Optionally, use markers to add doors, windows, or other details to your shelter model.
10. Use the model to demonstrate compact folding and quick assembly concepts for emergency shelters.
