How to Make an Origami Trophy

Origami, the art of paper folding, allows you to create many shapes that may be interpreted in different ways. A trophy may take on many forms, including the form of a cup. Fold an origami trophy cup to hand to the winner of a game. You can also customize the origami trophy by writing a personal message on it. The difficulty in performing this art is in not making any cuts or using any adhesives to create a paper trophy.
