How to fold an origami little cooking pot

Fold the corners of a diamond behind and back out again: the top one peeks up as the lid's knob and the side ones stick out as handles.

You need: 1 square sheet, red or silver on one side. Easy, 5 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Top behind. Put the square coloured side up like a diamond. Fold the top corner behind, about a third of the way down.
  2. Knob up. Behind, fold that corner back up so its tip peeks over the top. That's the knob on the lid.
  3. Sides behind. Fold the left and right corners behind along straight up-and-down lines.
  4. Handles out. Behind, fold each corner back out a little further in, so its tip sticks out at the side. Those are the handles.
  5. Flat bottom. Fold the bottom corner behind so the pot sits flat.

Soup's on!

Draw a line for the edge of the lid. Add some paper carrots and make a whole play kitchen.
