1. On a piece of squared paper, draw a triangle and cut along the triangle. (figure (i)).
2. Draw a line in the center in the width of a rectangle as in Figure (ii) above.
2. Fold the rectangle based on dotted lines. (Figure (iii))
3. Draw in dotted lines as in figure (iv) above.
4. Cut the fold based on the dotted lines, until they form a half kite as in Figure (v).
5. Open the fold until they form a new quadrilateral as in figure (vi). The quadrilateral is a kite.
6. Name the kite ABCD and the intersection as point O. (Figure (vii))
