Turning A4 Paper Into a Square

Pictures from "How to Make a Paper Ninja Star"

This isn't qualified as an "origami creation" in my book, but just a tutorial on how to make A4 paper into a square, as it is required in many of my instructables.

You will need:

Paper

Scissors

Turn the paper horizontally. Take the top left corner of the paper and bring the whole vertical side onto the bottom side and fold.

Take the scissors. Cut along the right edge of the triangle fold from before so the end gets cut off.

As you can see, this one was very short because it's more of a fold tutorial rather than a creation. Now when you unfold you should have an 8.5 inch by 8.5 inch square that is used in the following instructables by me:

Ninja Star (Original)

Paper Rabbit
