I show how to make a basic cup coaster out of a piece of square paper. The origami coaster is a simple and practical design that looks nice. It is an easy model to make but when folding try to make the edges as straight as possible for best results. All it requires is a piece of paper that is a square or can be cut into a square.

Origami is the traditional Japanese art of folding paper. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without cutting the paper or using glue.
