A 2 × 6 inch strip fits many books without covering much of the page. Leave space around a punched hole if you add a tassel.
How it compares
Trading card is smaller in area. Index card 3x5 is larger in area. These formats have their own proportions; halving a sheet does not necessarily produce the next size.
Cut a square for origami
The largest square from a flat rectangle this size is 50.8 × 50.8 mm (2 × 2 in). Fold one short edge against a long edge so their corners meet. Crease the diagonal, cut off the extra 101.6 mm strip, then open the triangle.
For origami, use thin uncoated paper with these dimensions instead of thick or coated stock. Try the beginner origami dog with your square, or see how to prepare square paper.
