This is the first type of origami used to see just how much water a simple piece of A1 cartridge paper could hold, I followed a video (which I believe is here on my blog?) to make it and then tested it out by filling it up with water, just by doubling up the paper through folding it, and turning it into the shape it is. It managed to hold a lot of water.. Like pretty much almost full? Surprised me but made me move on to slightly more carton-ish shapes.
These are just showing the "Cup" in all of it's A1 glory, it was actually pretty big and sturdy which was surprised to say it came from a piece of paper.
Few pictures of Liam holding it once we filled it up with water, no leaks, no nothing. It held up to the test and let me know that paper could hold water in when correctly used.
This has pretty much enabled me to want to go on to trying new things with paper to see just how it works, it's definitely more eco friendly, it's actually quite aesthetically pleasing in some ways. So I do want to push further with it!
