I found scoring the creases helped a lot. And fussing with each set of creases: does the right side fit better under the left, or vice-verse, as you collapse each of the 8 sets of creases. Not to mention, until it is complete, you may have to go back and refold things as you work around. My first couple were great cat toys. ;-) My friends marvel at my great models. They never see that the cat mafia "handles" my first attempts and not so good later attempts. ;-) Cats are great companions for Origami folders.
