How to fold a square note

1. 1Fold the paper in half twice. Use the valley fold method to fold it in half first. Use the valley fold again so that the paper is now only 1/4 of the width it started with.
   • Note that the height or length of the paper remains the same.
2. 2Fold each corner inward. The left corner of the top should be folded diagonally to the right, and the right corner of the top should be folded diagonally to the left.
   • Fold only part of the end so that the edge of the folded corner is still aligned with the edge of the paper.
3. 3Fold each end inward again along the diagonal. The top triangle should be folded down to the right, and the bottom triangle should be folded up to the left.
   • You should now have an oblique parallelogram at each end, and the triangle you started with should be outside the body of the note.
4. < span class="step">4Fold each end of the note in half. Turn the note over to the back. Fold the top triangle to the right and the bottom triangle to the left.
   • You should end up with two triangles that are separate from the body of the note but aligned with the edges of the body.
   • This step should have two completely different triangles on the front and two on the back.
5. 5Turn the back over and fold the lower part upward. Turn the back of the note over to the front. Fold the bottom triangle up on the back until it meets the bottom edge of the top triangle on the front.
6. 6Fold the top half down. The top edge of the back triangle should be folded over the front of the note to meet the bottom edge of the note.
   • At this point your note should be square. The last step is to fold the note together.
7. 7Fold the outermost triangle into the bottom opening. Fold the outside of the triangle into the bottom opening.
   • You will get a square note divided into four triangular areas.
   • This is it.
