Crease both diagonals (collored side out)and also matching the opposite edges (collored side in). Then fold as shown in the picture.
Bisect both angles (dotted lines)
Fold on the dotted lines. The rest of the paper will be 90°. Note that the upper end will not be the bisector of angle.
Repeat with the other side, and bend both upwards
Slide the upper layer, forming a "V"
Bold them down...
... and outside
Repeat on the other side
Turn the side and fold like shown in the picture.
Fold up the excess of lower wing.
Now, pinch its tail. (it won't complain...)
Fold down the upper end will create a trunk and two big eyes (that you will make as roud as possible)
