How to fold an origami shampoo

Slant the bottom of a teal strip and fold it up behind so it pokes out on top as a white cap, then fold the shoulders and round the bottom.

You need: A 10 x 27 cm strip of paper (cut from the long side of A4). Easy, 4 steps, about 6 minutes.

Steps

  1. Cap: slant the sides. Coloured side up, standing tall. Fold both long edges of the bottom 15 cm in on a slant, from 12 cm up each side to 1.7 cm from the bottom middle.
  2. Cap up behind. Fold the slanted part up behind, folding where the slants start. Its white end pokes out over the top: that is the cap.
  3. Shoulders. Fold the two top corners of the bottle behind on a slant, from 3 cm down each side to the cap. Keep the cap out of it.
  4. Round the bottom. Fold the two bottom corners behind, about 1 cm each.

Bubble bath time!

Draw a white label with a few bubbles and two lines of writing, and a line across the cap where it flips open.
