The Squash fold is a classic one you may have already used many times without knowing it was called that.
Start by folding a square piece of paper along the 2 diagonals and the 2 middle heights.
Re-open everything. You should get several marks shaped together in a sparkle right in the middle of your initial square of paper.
Next, fold your square along one of the diagonals. You should get a triangle marked as above.
Careful, the squash fold is coming. Start folding your triangle along the height coming out from the longest side, i.e. the hypotenuse. It is blue marked on the first drawing above. When the triangle right side (marked in grey on the first drawing) is at right angle with the left side (marked in white), slightly open it and push it down. The right side should take a square shape on the top of the triangle left side. The move which pushes down, squashes down part of the paper to flatten it is the squash fold.
The following video should help you to get the fold right.
