Step – 5: Grab a pencil and draw some simple patterns on the folded paper. Try keeping the pattern simple. I drew a zigzag border; some teardrops near the border and square shapes near the centre.

Step – 6: You can sue scissors to cut out the patterns on the outer sides.

Step – 7: To cut the inner patterns of the folded paper, use an x-acto knife.

Step – 8: As the paper is folded youโ€™ll have to apply a little pressure to the inner pattern while cutting it out with the x-acto knife.
