How do you fold a zig zag?

To fold a zig zag, you alternate the direction of each fold, creating a series of peaks and valleys.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. Start with a flat surface: Place the material you want to fold (paper, fabric, etc.) on a clean, flat surface.
2. Make the first fold: Fold the material in one direction. This creates the first crease. Ensure the fold is crisp.
3. Reverse the direction: Fold the material back in the opposite direction, aligning the edge with the previous fold. This creates the second crease, forming the first "zig" or "zag".
4. Continue alternating: Keep folding, alternating the direction of each fold, ensuring each new fold aligns with the previous one to maintain uniformity. If you lose track, remember that the next fold should be the opposite of the one you just made.
5. Repeat until the end: Continue this process until you reach the end of the material.
6. Finalize: You should end up with a neatly folded zig zag pattern.

Essentially, you’re creating a series of "up" and "down" folds in sequence. It's important to maintain consistent spacing and alignment to achieve a clean and even zig zag effect.
