The next step is a bit tricky, but I’m sure you can handle it. You need to fold your strip in diagonally so that the two legs form a right angle.
You can use the corner of another sheet of paper, or a book, as a guide. Try to make the legs about the same length, but don’t worry if they are not exact.
The next step is to fold the left leg to the right so that it lies parallel to the right leg.
Turn your paper over so that it looks like the image below.
Now fold the left leg over the right so that the upper edge (left pointy finger) lies against the fold indicated by the right pointy finger. Your letter should look like this.
Take the upper leg (indicated by the pink pointy finger) and tuck it under the lower leg. Your completed fold should look like the next picture.
I found a variation of this fold on the internet.
If you want to try it out, you can find the instructions here.
Tomorrow’s post will feature two triangular letter folds —one moderately complex and the other super simple— which can also be used as packaging.
