Learn how to turn a peice of paper into a bowl. This is a simple and useful trick to know.

These bowls are great to use as a rubbish bin on the table for chicken bones etc. Or If you use glossy paper you can actually eat from them.

Fold an A4 peice of paper in half, then in half again.

[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!
