The origami cup (or the french fry box as I like to call it) is the only origami construction I know how to make. It’s really simple and can even be useful as ornamentation at the dinner table (I like to fold napkins like origami cups). Here are step by step instructions (as you can see they’re not that long) to make the origami cup. Enjoy.

Directions:

1) Start with a square piece of paper. If you don’t have a square piece of paper, find a regular sheet and make it square!

2) Now, fold it to make a triangle.

3) Take the left flap and fold it over to the middle of the opposite side.

4) Do the same to the right flap.

5) For the top flap, take the front layer and fold it forward and down.

6) Do the same to the back layer, folding it down on the other side.

7) You’re done! All you have to do is hollow it out and you have your origami cup!
