Corner Algorithm: Ri Di R D
Middle Layer (Left): Ui Li U L U F Ui Fi
Middle Layer (Right): U R Ui Ri Ui Fi U F
Third Layer Cross: F R U Ri Ui Fi (Blue 'L' shape Should be in upper left-hand corner, repeat if necessary)
Third Layer Opposite Edge Flip: R U Ri U R U U Ri
Third Layer - First Corner: U R Ui Li U Ri Ui L
Third Layer - Remaining Corners: R U Ri U R U U Ri (with two lined up sides (one in right hand, one opposite of you)

Intuitively build a cross on the green face, ensuring non-corner edge pieces match center pieces of middle layer.
Position each green corner piece below its target destination on the third layer
With piece in place, hold cube green face up with target corner in bottom right-hand side
Repeat Corner Algorithm until corner piece is in correct position
Repeat for each corner until first layer is completely solved
