Q&A for How to Fold Paper in Half

Push the open side of the paper against a flat surface that is perpendicular to the ground or table you are folding on. Then form a crease using the above instructions.

Fold the paper and press down on the crease over a hard surface. Unfold and turn it over. Repeat. Then rip along the fold, carefully. This method will give you a straight line.

No. Just fold it. If the crease needs to be flat, run your fingernail along it firmly.

You repeat the same procedure, but this time in the opposite direction to make four squares.

Sure. It works for any square or rectangular piece of paper.

You can, but if you are getting wrinkly folds, check that you have aligned the sides well and haven't accidentally creased the paper somewhere else on the paper.

Paper can only be folded a maximum of 7 times before becoming too thick.

If the edges aren't aligned, try getting another sheet of paper and fold it in half. If it's uneven, use your other hand to move the paper evenly. Then, crease it in half.
