How To Make Origami Flowers

Origami is a Japanese word meaning the art of folding papers into shapes to create decorative objects. Learning how to make origami flowers will give you a sense of pride and accomplishment. Any local hobby, or art store would carry the specific color or colors of origami paper that you may need to construct your flowers. You can use regular newspaper but it is usually too thick for the folding process, however the specialized origami paper is thin enough and cut to the right size and shape.

When making an origami flower this is exactly what is done and for these origami flowers only a few tools are needed. Aside from origami paper the only tools you need are; a pair of scissors, a pencil, and a ruler. Four sheets of origami paper are needed, one sheet for the leaves (green) and three sheets for the flower (red). The fourth square (the green one) is the same size as the largest red piece. Origami square base is the pattern that will be used to fold all three of the red pieces. This process is very simple once you learn it.

Take one square and fold it on the diagonals, then on the East-West line and the North-south line. Make an imaginary line through the paper, then fold and unfold the right corner of the base to the middle of the imaginary line. Perform the same steps on the other two pieces of red origami paper. Origami flower art is an inexpensive hobby that can be very rewarding. The creation of origami flowers gets faster the more of these lovely flowers you make.
