How Hole Punching works on the PAT
A square sheet of paper is folded one or more times, then a hole is punched through every layer. Choose the pattern of holes you see after unfolding.
Broken lines show where the paper was; solid lines show the folded paper. The paper is never turned over.
Tips
- Unfold in reverse: undo the last fold first.
- Each fold mirrors the holes across the fold line.
- Count layers under the punch: that is how many holes it makes.
