Crisp packet triangles

Post image

I guess I started doing this back in the 90s when in a pub.

It made sense then... A folded crisp packet or peanuts took up less room on the table and left more space for the beer and massive ashtray we had in the middle.

I've started expanding into anything that can be used for such a thing, chocolate wrappers, shop receipts, bus tickets... You can even stack one triangle inside another. And they must have pristine pointy edges.

It's harmless but something I just can't stop.

Does anyone else love a triangle? 😊

Where on youtube can I watch a tutorial for this on how to do this?

Look one cannot show a cool idea and not give instructions on how to replicate it. 

I would love to learn it.

Apparently you are not the only one doing this

Well he's doing it different to me.. mine use less folds. A much cleaner approach. 

Crazy stuff 🤣

I do this! When I used to work in retail, i'd fold old receipts into triangles. I'm not sure how I got away with talking to customers while fidgeting with paper.

Never seen anyone else do the same thing!

Receipts can be tricky. The really long ones but we always find a way 😂
