Cool Ways to Fold a Note 🙂

Photo on 12-29-20 at 10.41 AM.jpg

So heres how to fold one of those "pull here" notes that were so cool back in school. It may or may not be past your school years, but it's never to late to fold a few!

Supplies

1 Piece of plain paper (printer or loose leaf)

A flat surface to fold

A Piece of Paper

Get your paper ready to fold! Grab a pencil and jot your note down on one side. Place the words face up pointing at the sky when you're done.

Start Folding

Fold your paper in half hotdog style. Crease well then unfold. Make it exact, because this will be your center mark. Then take your corners one by one, and fold them into triangles down the center line. If you think you are falling behind, the last photo for this step should be the end result. Good Luck, remember to go back if you need to.

Next, turn your paper to look at the pointed corners left to right. Fold the triangles inwards. Then take the protruding flaps and fold them to the center. If you think you are falling behind, the last photo for this step should be the end result. Good Luck, remember to go back if you need to.

Flip your whole thing over till you're looking at the backside. Fold your paper into 3 sections. If you need help, bring it in front of a light. Looking at the back, you can see 2 dark sections at each end fold it about half a cm after the dark rectangle end and that'll be 1/3 of the paper. Repeat on the other end. If you think you are falling behind, the last photo for this step should be the end result. Good Luck, remember to go back if you need to.

Last Step

Once your paper is split into 3rds, keep it that way. Now, look at the side with the triangle flap sticking down. Take the top corners (the ones that hang loose and moveable) and tuck them into the corners that are shaped like triangle holders from the layer behind the first. If you think you are falling behind, the last photo for this step should be the end result. Good Luck, remember to go back if you need to.And you are done!

Additional Step

Put a little arrow on the triangle flap, like an instruction to pull down. Then decorate it however you like! I like to put little flowers on either the pull flap or our little corners. If you think you are falling behind, the last photo for this step should be the end result. Good Luck, remember to go back if you need to. Sorry for the crude decorating in my picture. I draw like a first grader. Also, don't be confused, in my model it's upside down.
