Rotate it 180 degrees as shown in the image above. Bring the right and left corner to the top corner.
Bring the flaps of the outer layer upward. Make sure to fold the top layer ONLY. This will be the base of the origami samurai hat
Shape the origami samurai hat
Fold the top layer along the dashed lines as shown. Make sure to fold the top layer ONLY and to follow the direction of the arrows. This will give the distinct design of a samurai headpiece.
Bring the top layer of the bottom part upwards. Fold it along the dashed line as illustrated above.
