Fold top point down to the center, and then fold the point over. Crease well. Sharpen the creases by folding the side flaps in. Sharpen the crease in the middle of the diamond. Set aside, and make two more.
Connect First Two Pieces

Connect the first two pieces by inserting the side flaps from one piece into the other piece. It should fit snugly like a puzzle piece.
