Obtain six sheets of paper, each at least five inches long and exactly twice as long as wide. Sit at a table with the six sheets, a pencil, and a pair of scissors. Follow the directions below. Fold carefully, and make a precise crease following each fold. Maintain the orientation of the sheet on the table as you fold.


  • Place a sheet on the table with the long edges running away from you. Write an "F" in the upper right corner. Then:
    1. Fold the bottom edge up to align with the top edge, making a horizontal crease.
    2. Fold the left edge right to align with the right edge, making a vertical crease.
    3. Fold the top edge down and right to align with the right edge, making a diagonal crease.
    4. Cut in a straight line parallel to and about one-half inch away from the right edge.

  • Place a sheet on the table with the long edges running away from you. Write a "C" in the upper right corner. Then:
    1. Fold the bottom edge up to align with the top edge, making a horizontal crease.
    2. Fold the left edge down and right to align with the bottom edge, making a diagonal crease.
    3. Fold the right edge down and left to align with the bottom edge, making a diagonal crease.
    4. Cut in a straight line parallel to and about one-half inch away from the bottom edge.

  • Place a sheet on the table with the long edges running away from you. Write an "E" in the upper right corner. Then:
    1. Fold the bottom edge up to align with the top edge, making a horizontal crease.
    2. Fold the top edge down to align with the bottom edge, making a horizontal crease.
    3. Fold the right edge down and left to align with the bottom edge, making a diagonal crease.
    4. Cut in a straight line parallel to and about 1/2 inch away from the bottom edge.

  • Place a sheet on the table with the long edges running away from you. Write a "B" in the upper right corner. Then:
    1. Fold the bottom edge up to align with the top edge, making a horizontal crease. Then unfold, leaving a center line to work with.
    2. Fold the bottom edge up and left to align with the bottom half of the left edge, making a diagonal crease.
    3. Fold the left edge over to align with the right edge, making a vertical crease.
    4. Fold the upper half of the right edge down and left to align with the center line, making a diagonal crease.
    5. Fold the bottom half of the shape on top of the top half along the pre-creased center line.
    6. Cut in a straight line parallel to and about 1/2 inch away from the bottom edge.

  • Place a sheet on the table with the long edges running away from you. Write a "D" in the upper right corner. Then:
    1. Fold the bottom edge up to align with the top edge, making a horizontal crease. Then unfold, leaving a center line to work with.
    2. Fold the bottom edge up to align with the center line, making a horizontal crease.
    3. Fold the top edge down to align with the center line, making a horizontal crease.
    4. Fold the upper half of the left edge down and right to align with the center line, making a diagonal crease.
    5. Fold the lower half of the right edge up and left to align with the center line, making a diagonal crease.
    6. Fold the bottom half of the shape on top of the top half along the pre-creased center line.
    7. Cut in a straight line parallel to and about 1/2 inch away from the bottom edge.

  • Place a sheet on the table with the long edges running away from you. Write an "A" in the upper right corner. Then:
    1. Fold the bottom edge up to align with the top edge, making a horizontal crease. Then unfold, leaving a center line to work with.
    2. Fold the bottom edge up to align with the center line, making a horizontal crease.
    3. Fold the bottom third of the right edge up and left to align with the center line, making a diagonal crease.
    4. Fold the top edge down and right to align with the right edge, making a diagonal crease.
    5. Fold the right edge down and left to align with the center line, making a diagonal crease.
