Tips

  • If you do not have a pair of scissors, you can crease the rectangle along the side of the half-square. Run your fingernail over the crease repeatedly to make it sharp, put the folded paper on a hard surface, and tear off along the crease.You can also lick the edge and then tear the paper.

Warnings

  • Be careful while using scissors.
