Illustration of manual folding steps of zongzi

The manual folding steps of zongzi are as follows:

1. The materials to be prepared are: a rectangular paper with an aspect ratio of 2: 1, that is, half of the square paper, made of 15 * 7.5cm rectangular paper.

2. First, fold a cross (fold along two midlines).

3. The four corners are folded to the center line respectively.

4. The left and right corners are folded to the center line respectively.

5. Turn it over, and the four corners are folded to the center point respectively.

6. That's it after folding.

7. The two corners on the left and right are folded towards the center point.

8. Turn it over and fold it in half along the middle to confirm the position of the center line.

9. Open it and fold it as shown in the figure. The important gaps in the middle should be basically the same.

1. Fold it in the same way.

11. Open it, and then spread the middle.

12. If you want to use it as a gift box, you can put presents at this time. Just like the picture shows.

13. Then plug one corner into the gap of the other corner. The lovely little zongzi is folded like this. (The sides may not be so tightly stuck, so you can stick them with a little glue.)
