paper pot time......again

[Headfry]

Hi, Can't seem to fine the posting that gives a link for the paper pot method.
Can any one help? I think it was by WiZer?

Thank you Hazel, thats perfect! Hope you are all keeping well.
I am still here, just finding things tough at the moment - sorry

I can't follow the instructions at all, have tried numerous times. Also got mk1 son to try as he was into origami for a while - he had no luck either. Hope things are looking up for you Headfry.

I made loads of these last year from those instructions.

Which bit are you peeps struggling with?
Perhaps I can help?

Nothing to do with paper pots sorry, but just wanted to say he to you Headfry and hope things look up really really soon [virtual hugs] Sue.

Thank you for your kind words, it helps more than you know.
Still cant do the pots though, I too made loads last year, but can't seem to get it right now. I think some where I should turn the paper or fold it another way as the pot bit is not right at all.

Hello Headfry and big hugs to you

I've had a go and managed to get to step 11 but can't get any further. One thing I was doing wrong in the first place was having the paper in portrait mode instead of landscape (if you see what I mean) Notice how the article says:
2. Rip the paper in half, like in the picture. Then turn one piece so the long side is facing you. (I didn't show that step.)

Don't know if it helps at all because I still can't get past step 11

Have fun!

I just had a go with a sheet of A4 and managed it!!!! For some reason it just clicked! Now I need to go and buy a newspaper and get the boys to help me make a load tonight!

Yay, well done Shirl,

So.... how did you do it?........

Followed the instructions? I don't know, it just worked this time - never has before so I don't know what was different.

At step 11 the picture makes it look as though both 'tops' are folded to one side - you should fold each side back on itself (if that makes any sense) then it kind of opens into a pot with a pointy bottom, if you stick your hand inside and wiggle about a bit, the bottom flattens out.

Nope..... still not there
Have to go shopping now, will try later.
