Origami Seamless Pyramid - ALL 5 Sides!

[Low Intermediate] How to fold a square of paper into a Seamless Pyramid that includes all 5 sides. Most origami pyramids are open on the bottom, but not this one! Figuring out how to get the four flaps to lock together took a lot of experimentation. I feel my solution is pretty good, but there's probably room for improvement. After the pushing the flaps together to lock them, I recommend leaving them closed, because if you pull the pyramid out again and then try to re-close it, I've found it doesn't stay as tightly locked as before. I don't know why. I would like to try to design a full 5-sided seamless pyramid that somehow employs the Nakashima lock where the flaps click together to lock, but I haven't figured that out yet.

The inspiration for designing this comment came from:
@Origamidmd who commented on the Q*Bert video: "Can you make a pyramid." I thought he was talking about a seamless pyramid, and I realized that although I have made one from a dollar bill I hadn't made one from a square, so I set out to figure it out and over the course of several hours of experimentation, came up with a model I was reasonably happy with. It turns out Origamidmd was really just asking me to make a tutorial for the Pixelated Pyramid that I taught in the Q*Bert tutorial as he clarified in a response comment. Of course I still will teach that, but the video isn't done yet!
