Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Start with A4 paper. Cut the largest possible circle (fold corner to adjacent edge, cut the excess, unfold).

  2. 2

    Cut a straight line from the edge of the circle to the center.

  3. 3

    Roll one side of the cut over the other, forming a cone shape. The more overlap, the narrower the funnel opening at the bottom.

  4. 4

    Adjust the bottom opening to the desired width for your target container (about 1-2cm diameter works well for most bottles).

  5. 5

    Hold the overlap in place or fold the edge over to secure it.

  6. 6

    Your paper funnel is ready to use. Place the narrow end in a container and pour dry ingredients through the wide top. Discard after use.
