Origami Play Icon instructions and tutorial

Do you remember the Play icon on old tape players from the 1980s? Today you find Play buttons everywhere, especially on videos on the Internet. And now it's also an origami model that I created for the Origami Plus YouTube channel. If you make a red and white Play icon, it will look like the YouTube logo / icon.
