Making a cutting template:
You will have to make a cutting template and the easiest is to make one from thin cardboard or matboard.

On a piece of cardboard draw several sizes of squares varying from ¾" to 1½". Cut out the squares with a craft knife, but do not discard the outer cardboard, this will become a template to find repeat patterns on gift wrap or to center over the stamped designs.

Stamping designs on paper:
Use a square stamp and stamp on solid color origami paper or thin parchment. When stamping on parchment, use permanent ink for non-porous surfaces.

Cutting your squares:
Use the outer cardboard as a viewing template by placing one of the square holes on the gift wrap paper or stamped image. Place the cardboard cutout back into the hole and hold it down with one finger and remove the viewing template. Cut out the square with a craft knife. Find the matching designs on the gift wrap or stamped image and repeat as many times as needed. Make sure that our cutout paper squares match exactly.

Folding and gluing:
Fold all papers according to the diagram. It is important that you fold all the papers in the same way. When all papers are folded, glue them together with a tiny drop of glue and a toothpick
