Truly functional art! By far the most handy origami model I ever learned. Six easy to remember folds, and it really holds liquids.
The most handy origami model I ever learned was the cup. Truly functional art. It involves 6 simple folds, and it can hold liquids. I wouldn't recommend anything hot, and make sure your paper won't absorb the liquid to quickly. If nothing else, it makes a great shotglass.
Fold the paper in half diagonally to create a triangle.
Begin with a square piece of paper, and fold in half diagonally. This should create a triangle. If it doesn't, try harder.
