Tulip muffin paper

I always had the problem to find muffin papers for my baking forms bigger than the standard and a few month ago I saw tulip cups on bakingbites.com
and today I finally tried to make my own, I first tried to fold them up all origami style but couldn't find a proper way how to so I just cutter squares of baking paper and cut into the paper on four sides, which worked perfectly well =^__^=
