VERY nice! So simple, but it makes a nice statement. I see me making some of these to use as gift tags on presents...just an extra little bit of splash. TFS!

I used to play this folding when I was a kid. We called it "cup folding". It's so interesting to see some of origami foldings I used to play become card techniques smile

I have a card with using the folding on my gallery

I can't seem to bring up the directions for any of the tutorials. I get the picture of the supplies, but when I scroll down, all I get is white screen until I reach the comments section. What do I need to do?

We used to make these out of strong paper towels at school and then drink water from them! I'd completely forgotten we used to do this!

Thanks for bringing back the memories as well as teaching me how to do this again!

Think I'll fill the cup with something more interesting than water this time though!

My mother taught me to do this as a child. I used to fold the church bulletin or other paper so I could get a drink at church. I am now in my 60s.

WOW!! How cute!! I think I can even do this!! smile

I am making baby showers for my daughter-in-law. These would be perfect. I was wondering what sized paper to start with to make a good-sized favor?

Thanks for the inspiration!
