Collapse A paper umbrella requires two pieces of square paper, both of which are folded in the same way, i.e. folded into two identical parts. I used 15cm square paper here, first folded the square base shape in half, then folded the "meter" shape in the picture.

Then cut the 3 corners of the square paper Fold to one corner and fold the small square in the picture below.
Then press the 4 sides of the folded small square down from the middle to align the creases in the middle so that the 4 sides can be flattened And fold 8 sides.

In After folding the eight sides, press the same side down from the middle, and align the middle creases, and fold the lower side flat, so that 16 sides are folded from the 8 sides.

In After folding all 16 sides, use scissors to cut the parallel sides at the bottom of the triangle.

After cutting, it looks like the picture below , and then cut it with scissors according to the 2 positions of the waist of the triangle and the 2 positions of the base of the triangle marked in the picture.
