Use a box cutter or xacto knife to score the folds, use a ruler to stay straight.

AoBFrost is right, but don't forget there are many tutorials on this and to find them we have a "Search" button at the top right. Good luck on your armor making!

I use one of those box cutters that have the long blade that you snap off to have a fresh edge without changing the blade.
I just started using Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue it has a extremely strong bond on paper, stronger than the paper in fact. I got it from Wal-Mart in the paint area and it's mostly a blue bottle that is orange at the top.
Yes please make sure that your caps lock is off. Most of the time all caps mean that your yelling.
