hi judy, nice model to try.
it is a multi-folds manouver, so I'd suggest face it step by step, first change the horizontal mountain folds to valley
then fold the delta below
then fold the vertical delta over
finally move right the top layer
and ta da!...
(not bad for the first time yeah?). Good luck

hi judy
never mind. send me the picture in a Private Message (PM links here below, between PROFILE and WWW)
here is a picture of the paper before starting the step, maybe you can compare it with yours

Sending pictures with private messages works exactly the same like posting pictures on the Forum, so if anyone doesn´t know how to post it here, he/she won´t be able to do it on a private message.

As an alternative to Koh's Rhino there is another at:
http://www.fishgoth.com/origami/anidiag.html (The Webmaster and creator is on the forums here under the name "fishgoth" I believe). Its not particularly easy over the other though.

Thanks for the thought Joe The white
I had a look at that one and it looks even harder especially for me as I have no experience of origami until now but cheers anyway
