How to make a
Sonobe Unit
you need a square piece of paper
fold along
these lines
fold the left top
corner to the
centre line so
that the edge
forms a point
in the bottom
left corner
repeat for the
bottom right
corner so that the
edge forms a
point in the top
right corner
flip the paper over so that the colour side is up
fold the bottom left to the point indicated by the star
and unfold
fold the top right
corner to the crease
line created by the
last fold
unfold and turn over
holding the flap down, fold
the end so that the blue line,
lines up with the purple line
repeat for the top right corner

fold the bottom edge (blue)
to line up with the edge of
the small triangles (purple)
Note: the edge of my small triangles do not match the purple line because they are not lying flat
repeat this for the top
edge

Lift up each large triangle and tuck the
smaller triangle into the flap underneath.
Repeat this for both large triangles.
