Origami Cup

The origami cup is easy to make, and useful too. You could use it to hold coins, candy or yes, even water (though not for very long!)

Start with a square piece of paper.

If it is colored origami paper, put the colored side face down on the table as shown below.

Then fold along the diagonal to give a triangle.

Now fold one corner of the triangle upwards to meet the opposite side.

The angle there should be about 90 degrees.
