Download the PDF file, and print it onto the paper of your choice. (You want to choose a paper that folds easily, so avoid cover stock or heavier.)

Cut off a 2-1/2-inch strip from the opposite end of the paper (just inside the line) to make an 8-1/2-inch square.

Fold the cootie catcher, lay the square flat, face up.

Fold in half vertically; crease, then unfold.

Fold each long side edge in to meet the center crease; crease, then unfold.

Rotate paper 90 degrees, and repeat. (This creates a grid pattern of creases.)

Flatten paper out, and flip it over so writing side is down; fold all four corners in to meet at center point, and crease; do not unfold.

Flip paper over again. Fold all four new corners in to meet at center, and crease (you will fold along one of your previous creases); do not unfold.

Fold bottom half up to make a rectangle.

Bring top corners together in the center, slipping forefingers and thumbs under flaps and lifting them.
