Method #2
| For a square without a diagonal crease, place two identical sheets of rectangular paper as shown. Cut the bottom sheet along the raw edge of the top sheet. | The sheet underneath is now a square. For a second square, turn both layers over and cut the larger sheet using the raw edge of the square as a guide. |
