Accordion fold a piece of paper on the short side into half inch pleats
Cut the piece of paper in half on the short side so you can tape together the pleats into one long strip.
Make sure the pleats line up, trim if necessary
Tape together pairs on one side of the pleats to gather the pleats into a fan shape.
Repeat, taping together taped pairs to hold the shape.
If the paper is curling towards one side, flip the fan over and tape together pairs of pleats on the other side to balance out the fan.
Optionally, tape the bottom together to hold the fan more open or closed.
Make a square piece of paper
Fold the paper into 8ths (folding in half lengthways, vertically and diagonally)
Fold in all four corners to the center to make a smaller square
Fold this smaller square into thirds on both axis to create lines that separate the square into 9 tiny squares.
Open up one of the corners of the smaller square, then fold in the left and right tiny squares in the top row until it brings in one of the walls of the boxes. There will be a little triangle sticking up. Tuck that in.
Repeat on the other side.
