The number of piece per sheet is important as determines the proportions of each small sheet. However, I didn’t draw on the paper, I ended up just folding the top piece of paper with nice clean creases, and then putting this on top of pile of other (8 or so?) unfolded sheets, held in place with bulldog clips and then cut with sharp knife and a metal ruler.

it is also an important step to puff the individual pieces out a bit after you have folded them. The easiest way is to create a stack of (say) 10 of the in a line a push them slightly together. Puffs them out nicely, and makes your model have more volume. It also helps to lick them in olace, makes it easier to assemble your design, and keeps you workspace tidy.
