Step 1: From point C, draw an arc intersecting the line segment in points A and B.
Step 2: Draw two arcs from point A, one above and the other below the line segment.
Step 3: Using slightly more compass width, draw two arcs from point B, above and below the line segment.
Step 4: Label the point of intersection of the arcs above the line segment as D and below the line as E.
Step 5: Using a straightedge, join points D and E.
