Pinwheel
As you fold the left flap over, the top right square will need to be folded in half, into a triangle on the top of the model.
After creasing the valley fold, valley fold the right third over it. This will create a triangle on the top, which is your mountain fold. Crease well, rotate the paper 90 degrees, and do it again to the second side, creating a triangle above it.
Rotate the model 90 degrees to the left, and do the fold again. Repeat.
The third and the fourth sides are just a little bit different. You create the same fold for the third side.
The third and sides of the pinwheel can be tricky. Before the third side, open the model a little bit, and fish out the last corner.
When you reach under the paper to fold the valley fold, pull out the square from underneath it first.
