Tips
- To get the cup to hold water, make it from a square of waxed paper, kitchen parchment or any other kinds of waterproof paper. Alternatively, Line the insides with plastic wrap so your cup won't fall apart. This will repel water and help make the cup last longer.Thanks
- Make a cup out of aluminum foil, then make one out of wax paper the slightly smaller. Put the wax paper cup inside the aluminum foil one and you will have a durable cup to drink water from.Thanks
- The cup will last longer if you double up on paper beforehand to make the cup twice as thick.Thanks
Warnings
- This cup might not work well for long as a drinking cup. It may absorb liquid, depending on the type of paper used to form the cup, and might quickly saturate and fall apart.Thanks
- if you are going to use this cup for drinking, avoid using bleached or lined paper. The chemicals and/or ink can bleed into the water.Thanks
- This cup is absolutely not usable for hot liquids, which might not only burn your hands, but also melt through the wax or cling wrap you've used to make the cup liquid-resistant.Thanks
