Another way to divide a square into fifths as well as thirds and sevenths can be found here:

thanks - that helps; if it isn't perfect, I guess it's down to the old ruler and calculator

Hello,

Given that I once created a box starting with Fifths, I very often hear the complain, that folding Fifths gives some people headaches. Therefore I thought, I'd draw a diagram explaining the method I usually use. Please note that I didn't come up with the method myself but learned it somewhere along the way. Not sure who taught it to me initially but it gives accurate Fifths every time and it even works on rectangles other than squares.

Here is the Link to the Diagram: http://www.origamiaustria.at/en/articles.php#a24

And here is the Link to my Spiral Box in case you want to use your trial sheet to fold something: http://www.origamiaustria.at/en/diagrams.php#d30
