origami project is guaranteed to work.

& watch those nerds come running!
HOW TO FOLD THE NERDCATCHER
- Cut along the black lines.
- Picture side up fold the square in half from top to bottom. Unfold. Fold in half from side to side. Unfold.
- Picture side down, fold all four corners into the center using the existing foldlines as a guide. You should see the colors and numbers on the figure.
- Turn the figure over and fold the four corners into the center again. You should see just the numbers now.
- Fold in half from top to bottom. You should see the names of two colors.
- Slip your thumbs and forefingers underneath the square flaps on both sides of the figure. Press them together so that the four folded points meet in the center to form a 3-D figure. You're done!
