Make Paper Diapers

There's nothing cuter at a baby shower than paper diapers filled with chocolate raisins and other delights. Fill the diapers with mystery items for a "Taste what's in the diaper" game, flatten the diaper for a nifty invitation, or use paper diapers to hold cocktail sticks, plastic cutlery and napkins. The mom-to-be can take home one of the diapers as a reminder of her celebration---and for an insight into the joys to come.


Instructions


1. Fold the top left corner of the sheet of paper to the bottom right corner, forming a triangle with one 90-degree angle (a right angle) and two, smaller 45-degree angles.


2. Place the triangle in front of you with the triangle's hypotenuse (the longest side) at the top and the right angle at the bottom.


3. Fold the bottom point of the triangle (the right angle) up to the center of the hypotenuse. The tip of the right angle should just touch the edge of the line. Crease the fold.


4. Fold the left-hand tip (one of the 45-degree angles) toward the center to meet the tip of the right angle.


5. Repeat Step 4 with the right hand tip of the triangle.


6. Secure the three points with a safety pin.
