An origami glass is a useful thing that even a small child of preschool age can do. It turns out flat and fits perfectly in a bag or backpack. You can take it with you on a long journey, on a picnic or at sea.
Application
A paper cup can come in handy for a variety of purposes. You can put small objects in it so as not to lose them in your bag along the way. It is convenient to pour sunflower seeds or nuts into such a container. But in addition to the bulk solids, the liquid is excellent in the folded paper. Of course, over time, the origami glass gets wet and starts to leak, but you can get drunk from it. In addition, if you drank not sweet compote, but plain water, then the glass after use can be folded into its initial form, dried in the sun and reused.
The article will examine in detail the manufacture of origami paper cups for children. Usually folding a sheet is done according to the scheme, but it’s also convenient to watch a video in which an experienced origami master cleverly collects it. In the article we will present both that, and another. In addition, a paper cup can be made from a thick sheet of white paper for the printer, as well as folded from a regular notebook page or colored paper.
Origami cup for children
If you are interested in folding objects from a sheet of paper using the origami technique, then the first thing you need to do is learn to read the diagrams. Such an easy craft can be done with a child together. First, prepare a square sheet of thick paper. To do this, take sheet A-4 and attach one of the corners to the opposite side to make a right triangle. Having cut off the extra strip with scissors and unfolding the paper in its original position, you will see a square.
Next, you need to proceed according to the scheme, following the serial numbers under the pictures. The arrows indicate the direction of the bend of the sheet, and the dashed lines indicate where the bend should be made. Check the correctness of the work by watching the video.
Folding Color Paper Crafts
Origami cup can be made from a whole sheet of A-4 format, however, it will have to act a little differently. Lay out a sheet of colored paper in front of you on the table surface and bend the corners inward to the center line on the short sides of the rectangle. You should get 4 right triangles - two on one side and the same on the other.
The next step is to fold the paper in half with the flat side inward. Triangles of paper should remain outside. You will get a figure that looks like an envelope. Place it evenly towards you. Attach its right corner to the opposite side, similar to the first variant of assembling an origami glass. Repeat with the left corner.
Sticking up the triangular parts lower down front and back. You get the cup shown in the photo above. In the same way, you can make a cup from a double page torn from the middle of the notebook. Having made several containers, you can share soda with friends at school, instead of drinking all the friends from the same bottle, because it is not very hygienic.
As you can see, you can assemble an origami glass from paper in just a couple of minutes from any material at hand. It is fast and convenient! Be sure to try to do it yourself!
