Here, I will show you how to make an origami paper balloon. You are going to need a square sheep of paper. Start by folding in half to make triangle, crease and unfold. Now, fold in half again to make a triangle from the other direction.

You should have an X Crease through the center of the paper. Now, pinch in the sides, this forms a triangle on the bottom and squash down the top, this forms the second triangle.
