How to Divide Paper into Thirds

Sometimes an origami design requires that we divide the paper into thirds. There are a few methods to do this so choose the one that best works for you.

 

 

Dividing your paper into thirds Method 1:

The easiest way if you're using a regular 15cm x 15cm paper is to use a ruler and measure and mark every 5cm. Then fold.

Obviously this only works well if the size of your paper can be easily divided by 3.
