How to fold an origami glue bottle

Fold the sides and the bottom behind so a white nozzle pokes up, slim it to a point, then narrow the bottle and give it shoulders.

You need: 1 square sheet, coloured on one side (blue or orange). Easy, 5 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Sides behind. Coloured side up. Fold the left and right edges behind a short way, about a sixth of the way in.
  2. Bottom behind. Fold the bottom behind, a bit past the middle, so a white strip pokes out above the top edge.
  3. Point the nozzle. Fold the sides of the white strip behind on a long slant, so it comes to a sharp nozzle.
  4. Slim the bottle. Fold the left and right sides of the bottle behind a little more.
  5. Shoulders. Fold the two top corners behind on a steep slant, so the bottle has sloping shoulders.

Glue time!

Draw a drop of glue on the bottle. Squeeze it over your craft project (pretend!).
