Vase Fold #6
Valley fold the top edge to meet the highest valley fold, and the bottom edge to meet the lowest. This will bisect the top and bottom sixths of the paper.

 Bisect the first and last sixths by valley folding the top edge to the closest valley fold, and the bottom edge similiarly. Crease well and unfold.

Vase Fold #7
