Stuck for something to drink out of quickly? Provided you just need a quick drink of water or other cold beverage, this notebook paper cup may be just the solution you’re after. It will do for a single drink, it’s simple to put together and won’t leak or drip provided you’ve followed the steps correctly.
Steps
- 1
Find a suitable, clean piece of notebook paper. Form a square out of the piece by folding the bottom right corner to the side of the pink line to the left of the paper with the holes.
- 2
Now the paper should be in a triangle shape with an extra part at the top or the bottom. You may cut the extra piece and keep the triangle piece only; if you can’t, just tear it gently.
- 3
Fold the bottom corners of the the paper as if you were going to cross your arms when cold.
- 4
Place the first flap the first arm of the folded paper. Then fold the next flap back and squish down the sides of the cup so that both sides meet.
- 5
Go fill with water and drink!

Warnings
- This is generally a one-use only hack. It’s not that durable once you’ve used it but in a pinch, it’s an excellent solution.
- Use paper that doesn’t have dyes that could run. Handmade paper will probably break up the moment you add liquid, or its dyes could run.
- This is not suitable for hot beverages.
