salt and pepper ...
take a square piece of paper ...
fold in half, unfold.
fold in half the other way, unfold.
turn over and fold corner to corner, unfold.
fold other corner to corner, unfold.
you should now have a square piece of paper with cross ridges and half valleys.
with the half fold valleys showing, fold all four corners into the centre.
turn over and fold all four corners to centre.
fold in half and then unfold.
fold in half the other way and unfold.
now the tricky part ... bring the four corners into the centre not folding them, but following the folds already made ... you should get a shape like a four-corner star ...
you will notice that the if you carefully pull out the little single folds of paper on the outside, they are the hand holds ... these are used to open and close each side of the whatever it is ...
if you flip it over, it looks like a four-egg holder.
kids used to write stuff on the outside and on the inside and choosing a name or number corresponded to how many times it was opened and closed and what the next selection was.
and i cannot believe that my fricked up brain remembered how to make one of these things ...
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
