I don't think folding is the right way to approach this transition. My carpet has a tack strip installed next to the tile and the carpet is cut so it lays right next to the tile edge. The tack strip holds it secure. There are also different joint transition trim pieces you can use if the height variation is to great. Check out Home Depot or Lowes.

When tiling up against existing carpet is there something that goes in between them or does the tile just but up against the carpet?
Either way, there is a metal strip available that has a groove in one side for the tile and a lip that goes over the carpet. The most common brand name for these metal strips is Schluter.
How can one learn how to make a paper snowflake?
To make a 6-pointed snowflake, the first step is to begin with a square piece of writing paper and cut that sheet in half with a pair of scissors. Next, fold the paper diagonally to form a triangle and crease it firmly. Then, fold this triangle diagonally again in half to make a smaller triangle. After this, fold this smaller triangle into thirds forming even three smaller triangles so the tip has 3 folds 30 degrees apart from each other. Fold the left third over and line up as closely as possible to get it symmetrical. Cut the top of the paper at an angle and then use your creativity to make various cuts. Lastly, unfold the paper and see your snowflake!
Is it more is it more cost effective to have carpet or hardwood floors?
As usual this would depend on many factors. Size of the room? What are you putting it over? Is the subfloor perfectly level and smooth? - If not, what is the cost of prep for the new flooring? Carpet covers many flaws that a tile or wood floor won't. From a purely green perspective a natural wood floor is the most cost effective. Trees are planted for use in manufacturing of the materials not like carpet which is almost 100 percent synthetic (or wool which is very expensive or silk which is beyond the reach of most people). Cleaning wood only requires a microfiber mop and a little soap and water where carpet requires an expensive vacuum and electricity to maintain as well as chemicals or steam to clean periodically over its life. The average life of carpet is 10 -- 15 years and must always be replaced -- a natural wood floor can last the life of the house and can be repaired or resurfaced. So, the answer to your question is: If you are living in a home that you do not plan to be in for more than 10 years -- buy less expensive carpet and let the new owners can decide on a new color if they want to. If you are living in what will be the family home for many years and be passed on for future generations -- go natural. The initial cost of wood is not that much more than that of a really good carpet but will last so much longer.
How thick is a floor?
Not very thick. Many building codes (perhaps most) allow 3/4 inch waferboard or 5'8 inch plywood as the structural subfloor over 16" O.C. joists. This is fine for normal sized floors with carpet or vinyl overlay, but is insufficient for very large floors or floors to be finished in ceramic, slate or porcelain tiles.
How do you fold a paper into 3 equal sections?
Folding a sheet into thirds is the process used for placing letters into envelopes. Bring the bottom of the sheet up toward the center, but do not crease. At the same time, bring down the top of the sheet over the bottom. As the sections roll past each other, there is one position where they form a stack of three equal areas. You can crease at this point to make the shortest possible folded sheet.
