Q&A for How to Fold Paper Into a Secret Note Square

Tear it up into small pieces, and throw them away. If you can, try throwing the pieces away into different trash cans. If you are very careful, you can also burn the note instead.

Abort the mission immediately. Stick the note in your pocket, or conceal the note by closing your fist around it. Find a way to burn the note as quickly as possible.

You probably write it inside to keep it secret. That is the purpose of doing this.

You could, but it would be much more difficult. If you're more experienced with paper folding or just looking for a challenge, then go for it!

Abort! Wait until no one is watching.

You could, but it's not a necessity. It would make the note more secret, though.

Write the note on the page and then fold it into the square.

Since it's so small, you can put it in the palm of your hand. Then, make a fist around it to hide it from view. It should fit although it might poke your hand a little!

You just open the note and re-write the message on another sheet of paper without anyone looking.

It can be used as a nice way to fold a decorative note. It is also small, and can be exchanged more inconspicuously than a large sheet of paper.

Just write a nice note on it and give it to a friend! I am sure they would love that!

Yes, of course you can. Just be careful not to get in trouble with your teacher. If your teacher specifically states that you should not pass notes in class, it would be best to wait until class is over.

There is no special need to show it in the tutorial. You can just place there what you want to send.

You can try to quickly hide the note, but if that doesn't work, offer your teacher a sincere apology and try to be stealthier next time.

Yes, you can use it for any occasion you want. It would be a thoughtful gift.

You could put it in a book that they're reading right now, or hide it under their phone when they set it down.

You could. This is just a fun option.

If the printer paper is letter size (that is, 8.5 in. wide by 11 in. long), then yes, it's perfect! If you're outside the US, use A4 but trim it to size.

Tell them you were just playing a game and then lay low for a little while. Your enemy will probably forget about it and then you can get back to spying.

No, this only uses regular paper.

Don't squeeze it or get it wet. Try to hide it in safe places.

It's possible to use an index card, but the final folds are hard to make, and the final product is very small.

Letter paper. 8.5 by 11. It’s common in the US, but you might not find it in other places.

Untuck the little thing you tucked in, and then it should be easy and obvious.

Untuck the paper triangle you tucked in and then undo all the steps. It should be easy once you do that.

You can remake it, but make sure to rip up the secret note into very small pieces.

That would be a problem only if you've written something inappropriate on it. Otherwise, it's just a square piece of paper.

Yes, as long as you have the courage!

You can use a ruler to make a rectangle-shaped piece of paper. If you want to make more faster, you can lay some square pieces of paper and cut it all together.

No, because it won't work. Stick to A4 paper. Like origami, you won't be able to fold the note or you will get some strange results.
