How to make it

about 15 minutesmedium

  1. Cut out the square and colour it in if you like.
  2. Lay it down as a diamond and fold the bottom point up to the top point: a triangle pointing up.
  3. Fold the left corner across to the right-hand side, so the top of the flap lies straight.
  4. Fold the right corner across to the left-hand side in the same way.
  5. Fold the top point forwards over the flaps, turn it over and fold the other point backwards.
  6. Push the cup open: done! It's made of paper, so it's only for a quick sip (or for keeping little things in).

Prefer coloured origami paper? Any square sheet will work too.
