This time, you'll need a rectangular sheet of paper.
1. Fold the top part into a triangle and then lay it flat (unfolded).
2. Do the same for the other side.
3. Flip the paper. Use the intersection of the fold lines as a guiding point and fold upwards.
4. Lay it flat (unfolded) and flip the paper again.
5. Aim for the middle and fold the top part into a triangle (like shown).
6. Take one end of the resulting triangle and fold so it meets the middle.
7. Do the same for the other side.
8. Turn the whole thing over.
9. Fold the bottom upwards until it meets the base of the triangular part.
10. Fold the upper layer of the triangular part downwards.
11. Fold the bottom corners into triangles, making sure they meet at the middle.
12. Insert these corners into the triangle.
13. Fold the upper triangle's corners downwards by as much as you'd like. Note that it looks prettier if they're folded at the same angle.
14. Hide the tips of the triangles by inserting them like shown.
15. Turn the whole thing over, and you're done!
