OK, so this is a very elementary question (and if it gets posted twice, my apologies... my first attempt seems to have disappeared).

Can anyone explain to me what is happening in step 7 of this diagram?

So simple, but I am stumped. I'm sure I'm doing it right up that point with the rabbit ears, etc.

I just don't get how to "Pry open the paper slightly, crease the paper as indicated in the photo below." Even with the pictures. I don't know if it's the perspective of the photo or my obtuseness. Or links to a regular diagram might even help!

Hi Fncll;

You're right, it is a pretty easy step. You just need to to bisect the two sides with a valley fold using the horizontal crease as your guide and flatten. Admittedly the picture doesn't make it incredibly clear. I drew the 45 degree angles on the picture which I hope helps visualise it.

Perfect! Thank you, thank you. Your picture makes much more sense... the image made it look like I was folding to some corner that didn't exist...

Yeah, the picture was very artsy :)
