How to bend Paper in Half

1.    Find a flat exterior for optimum bend quality.
2.    In order to bend a paper you must first have one accessible to you. (You can buy paper at any home wares store.)
3.    If you desire to get a good fold, you should make sure the paper is even, doesn't have any slashes, wrinkles, or damp locations.
4.    Lay the piece of paper in front of you on the surface mindfully.
5.    Hold one edge of the paper up on the bending exterior firmly, but without damaging it.
raise the other brim of the part of paper about one inch off of the bending surface. (Be very cautious not to tear it.)
6.    mindfully pull that corner over to the opposite edge of the paper.
7.    Make certain the corners line up. You will notice that if you let go of the corner at this issue the paper will proceed back to usual.
8.    Press down on the bent side of the paper. (Not the edge!)
9.    convey your finger to the top of the angle in the paper.
10.    mindfully request down hill force up on the angle.
11.    Slide your digit down the bend, and be certain not to tear the paper with your fingernail.
12.    double-check a good crease by going over the bend with the back of your fingernail. (Still being very cautious not to tear it)
13.    If you have done this rightly, your paper should be symmetrical, and it should appear half the dimensions of the initial unbent paper.
14.    Good job! You've folded a piece of paper!
