Stucked

Hi, this is Diana, from Mexico. I consider myself an origami beginner because I like to make simple projects. I know the diagram I'm attaching is something very easy but I haven't been able to pass from step 6 to step 7.

I'm stucked!! And I wrote the diagram author but she never answered me

Can anyone make a new diagram for these 2 steps or a video? It would be really helpful.

Thank you in advance.

What the diagram is asking you to do in step six is a fairly common procedure, collapsing to a waterbomb base.

To do it, first make valley folds along the diagonals, fold them in and then unfold them.
Next make a mountain fold across the middle, fold and unfold that.
Now, if you take your thumb and index finger, and use them to hold the model from the sides, pinch the sides towards each other, and the whole thing should start to collapse into a triangle shape.

I hope those instructions are helpful to you.
