Divide Paper into Thirds: Method 2

  • Fold and unfold a sheet of paper left to right.

     

     

  • Fold the top-left corner to meet the central vertical crease; at the same time, allow this new fold to intersect with the top-right corner.

    Note where the crease line meets the left edge of the paper.
     

     

  • Fold the top-right corner to meet the left edge of the paper where the crease intersects (join the two dots).
     

     

  • The location where the paper folds over along the top-edge of the paper is the division of 1/3 and 2/3. Mark this location with a pencil or a notch fold.
     

     

  • Fold the section that is 2/3 wide in half to get 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 division
