Sometimes, we get bored, we get tired, or like we have nothing else to do. Or perhaps, we need to use something to make for a simple gift for a crossguard. Nonetheless, we can always make a paper stop sign. You can make one following these simple steps.
Steps
-
Take a square piece of paper. Make sure the color side is down.
-
Fold the paper in half diagonally both ways. there should now be and "X" shape created on the paper. These folds will serve as a guide.
-
Fold each of the four corners in. Make sure that the crease on the corner aligns with the crease on the paper.
- Note: The folds may not be completely accurate (as in making the polygon regular), so you could use a ruler as well.
-
Flip the paper over. You should now have an octagon.
-
Add some decorations, or just in big, bold letters, the classic, "STOP."
Tips
- The more precise the paper, the more attractive the figure will be.
- Use thicker paper to make sure the octagon is more sturdy.
Warnings
- Beware of paper cuts.
