How do I make just about the perfect torus out of flat sheet of paper?

    Great Question, I'm working on it now.  I have it in my mind, I think, now I have to fold the paper into a biz zillion little off-angle folds so it will curve.  The first step was to make the paper a square then find the center and mark it.  The center has to go up by folding it.  I probably should draw it out first and start with a new piece of paper, so far all my folds are incorrect. I started over...
    Keep folding until you have small squares on the entire sheet of paper.  Find the half and 1/8th part of the paper, the half mark will be the middle of the round part and the 1/8th will be the edge of the center part of the round area.  Still working on it. Hope I'm on the right track this time.

    Ok, I'm giving it more thought.  Got caught up in housework all day and de-compressing from a unbelievable last week.

    Have to put it on the back burner for now, I have other pressing things at the moment, hard to think about or concentrate on anything.  I watch mindless garbage on the internet to rest my brain and decompress.  This post was edited by . at October 26, 2023 9:17 PM MDT

    What don't you understand - the fact that she needs to give it more thought because she's had a bad week or the fact that she isn't dropping everything in her life to attend to YOUR needs?

    And on this one, I did searched in Google, & watched some short videos of it, & it's not really the perfect torus that I want to make in my project.
    Will show you the torus video that I just get to.

    Thanks, but I don't need to see a video as this isn't something about which I'm interested.
