How to Make a Square Sheet of Paper

Ever want to fold Origami but find yourself all out of square paper? This is a way to cut a paper of any size into a perfect square.

1. Take a single sheet of paper. This can be of any size, standard size however is 8 by 11. You may only do this for one sheet of paper at a time.
   
   
2. Hold the top right corner of the paper and fold it towards the lower left side. Bring it down until the paper forms into a right-angled triangle. Make sure all the corners touch each other exactly. There should be a small rectangular section left at the bottom.
   
   
3. Cut this section off using paper scissors.
   
   
4. Unfold.
   
   

• If you do not have a pair of scissors, you can crease the rectangle along the side of the half-square. Run your fingernail over the crease repeatedly to make it sharp, put the folded paper on a hard surface, and tear off along the crease.
