Q&A for How to Make a Paper Cup by Folding

No, so it won't stand up by itself. The bottom is more of an edge than flat.

Yes, it does.

Using 2x the paper will make it difficult to fold. The cup is not meant to be used for an extended period. It will not hold liquid once the liquid soaks into the paper.

Fold the right corner to the left edge, making sure that you keep the top straight.

Fold the tip down, leaving a little extra space above the edge. This allows you to separately fold that little area down later.

If you want to flatten the cup, you can. It is important to remember, though, that the opening provides a way to keep the folds in place, so flattening it may make it messy.
