So you would like to do a little Origami before your Sushi dinner? Here is a practical Origami design that will keep your chopsticks off the table between bites:

Step 1 We start with the chopsticks.

Step 2 Pull out the chopsticks and clean up the paper so that it's nice and flat.

Step 3 Fold it in half length-wise.

Step 4 Complete the half fold and straighten up the edge.

Step 5 Now fold it in half length-wise again.

Step 6 And straighten up at fold.

Step 7 Now fold in in half across the center.

Step 8 And straighten up that fold.

Step 9 Now fold one corner in towards the open bottom of the peice of paper. It's import that you fold towards where the paper seperates and not towards where the paper coverges to the point.

Step 10 Now fold the other side just like that.

Step 11 This is what it should look like.

Step 12 Now undo the folds and open up one side like this.

Step 13 Push that in to make a little stand.

Step 14 Do the same thing on the other side. This is what you should have at the end.

Finished This is what it looks like with the chopsticks on board.
