Fold Legthwise
Fold the paper in half lengthwise, making it 4 1/2-by-11 inches long.
Measure and Mark
Measure 2 1/8 inches from the left side and mark it with pencil. It's best to make two marks. One on the top and bottom. This will be your guide to folding the next step.
Fold at Pencil Marks
Fold the paper on the pencil marks.
Fold like an Accordion
Flip the piece of paper over and fold it equally on top of the last fold, like an accordion.
Continue Folding
Continue flipping and folding until you've reached the end of the paper. You will have five sections.
Ten Equal Squares
Unfold the paper to give you ten equal squares.
