Do you want to fold a note in a compact and unique way? It's a lot of fun and easy to fold a secret message note in a special way, and an easy way to occupy yourself during class. This is an excellent method for sending a secret message to one of your friends during class and impress your friends with your folding skills.

To step

1. Take a sheet of A4 paper and cut it to size so that it measures 210 by 270 mm. (This method uses a piece of paper called the US Letter size. You will have to trim the paper or it won't work.)
2. Ready.
3. Have fun with your secret note!

Tips

• Don't just write every secret on the piece of paper. The paper is folded in a special way, but that does not mean that someone else cannot open it.
• When your teacher starts to look, quickly slide the paper under your table and pretend you're taking a pen or pencil from your purse so that he or she doesn't get suspicious.
• If you want to pass notes in class, learn how to quickly fold a note using this method or fold the paper beforehand. You have to be quick and cunning to make sure no one sees the note.
• Make sure to make neat, smooth folds. The note looks so neater and more professional. You can take the note with you without taking up too much space.
• Have patience. You can't do everything perfectly the first time.
• To use a sheet of A4 paper (210 by 297 mm) you can trim it to US Letter size (210 by 270 mm) so this method will still work.
• If your teacher does catch you and unfolds the note, it is useful to have the message written down in some sort of code or numerical notation. The teacher will not understand what you have written.
• You can put small pieces of paper in the "bags" on either side of the square. These can cause confusion, or you can put the real message in the openings.
• During the break, give your friend a way to break the code. Then send the note and your teacher will not see or understand it.
• Be careful when you are in school. You will get in trouble if your teacher catches you.

Warnings

• Do not forget to make sure that the recipient of the message understands how to open the note, otherwise he or she will not understand it.
• Write your message on the top half of the paper. Some parts of the bottom half are visible after you fold the note.
• Be careful when passing notes in class. Some teachers can get very angry about it and you can get in trouble.
• Always be patient and don't get frustrated. Do not forget to always write the notes in secret code.
• These instructions use a sheet of paper called the US Letter size, which is widely used in the United States. If you're using A4 paper, cut 3 inches off the paper to make it work. If you don't, you will have a rectangle instead of a square after Step 5. Fold the paper in the middle like a harmonica to get a square.

Necessities
