1 cm off 1cm off one of the half's, This will be the bottom

the diagonals in the bottom 8 rectangles
- Continue
folding all 8 diagonals
- With
the diagonals crease pointing up
- Fold
the top part with the 8 rectangles down leaving a little space to the
centerline as shown then unfold
- Now
fold the top part with the 8 rectangles to the side where the diagonals
are mountain folds and unfold
- Fold
it into a pentagon.. so we need a 3 rectangle overlap by inserting
one end into the bottom fold on the other end to create a pentagon
- Make
sure the 3 rectangles exactly overlap each other
- Now
fold the top over, one at a time till you get the the last fold
- the
last top fold, you push the middle down so that it pops in to form a
top

the tops corned extending bits under
