No Paper Clip? DO NOT PANIC Here's What To Do

No Paper Clip? DO NOT PANIC Here's What To Do

1. Align the papers. Here we’re using 5 sheets of letter-size.

2. Fold a triangle on the left-hand corner and crease. The fold (the longest part) is about 5.2cm long, however measuring is not necessary.

3. Make a 1cm-long slit using a scissors , about 2cm from the edge, then cut another about 1cm away from the first one.

4. Fold and crease the flap as shown.

You could stop at Step 4, which is officially the end. The next 3 steps seek to hold the flap down.

5. Lift up the flap from Step 4 and create that little hollow space.

6. At the top of the flap, press it down to flatten.

7. Fold down the 2 halves.

Finished!

This is how it looks after you’ve completed all the steps, except for the triangle (Step 2), which has been folded over to the back of the stack instead of forward.

Tips
The heavier the paper, the bigger the triangle fold and the deeper the slits. The maximum is 15 sheets.
