How to fold an origami witch's cauldron

Fold a white rim along the top, slope the shoulders in to a narrower mouth and round the bottom into a big pot belly.

You need: 1 sheet about 15 × 14 cm, black on one side. Easy, 4 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. The rim. Put the paper black side up. Fold the top edge down a little in front. The white band is the cauldron's rim.
  2. Shoulders. Fold the two top corners behind on slants, from halfway down each side to near the ends of the rim.
  3. Pot belly. Fold the two bottom corners behind on big slants, so the bottom is round and fat.
  4. Round it off. Fold the new corners at the sides and the bottom a little way behind, so the pot is smooth and round.

Bubble, bubble!

Fill it with paper bats and spiders, or slip a sweet behind it, for a spooky Halloween table.
