Take a fairly square piece of paper. I am not going into the shaping a rectangular piece into a perfect square here.

The following lines are to be marked soft as you wont be needing them afterwards (they are just for the markers).
Fold it into half vertically
And again fold it vertically to make 4 sections (3 folds)
In the same manner fold it into half horizontally
And again fold it vertically to make 4 sections (3 folds)
