> Open one corner and flatten it out as seen in the pictures. lolwut? That needs actual instruction.

[waif69]

I opened one of the corners then pushed the new corner into the center of the paper to finish this step.

[Mr_Christopher]

Thank you for putting this up! I learned how to do this when I lived in Japan, but when I moved back to the US, I forgot how to do it. This totally helped!

[metroinberlin]

Amazing idea, but your steps could be a bit clearer than "fold the paper and then fold it again." Other than that, handy little Instructable to have mastered.

[Eye Poker]

Would it be possible to tape a bit of celophane wrap to the paper and make a temporary water tight bowl?

[RiddleOfSphinx]

You could possibly cut a piece of freezer paper to the size of the A4 paper ;) Actually, I think I may try that some time :D ...it'd be a handy survival trick :D

[Knexpertevan]

Heh, heh. Thats cool.

[LegoFudge]

Quite Good! Some Steps were a bit confusing, but good anyway!

[brettbarth]

The bowl is cool, it's just that the directions are not specific and the video could be a little slower. All in all, it's a really cool thing!

[T3hpw9ag3]

Nevermind its way too hard and not very well explained

[T3hpw9ag3]

I can't follow the third step- you jumped over way too fast to understand what you did. Other than that very cool, I will try to make it

[Satka]

Simple, and it works ! Thanks a lot for that one, I will definitely use it :D

[atarax]

seconded: I love it, I can actually do it ;) and I'm going to use it. top stuff

[jeffcapeshop]

i use this one for crisps (chips), bombay mix or other small snacks on long car journeys - bags always split, and it's easier to manufacture these on the fly than to carry bowls! + no cleaning.. i also made a spoon using the same basic premise - pretty useless mind ;) if i ever get it to work (maybe with thick waterproof paper..) i'll post it up.

[jessyratfink]

That was actually pretty fun. You could make two of these and use them to house a present, too!
