Simple Origami-Flowers

If spring doesn‘t want to come, you can bring it home yourself. At least from paper.

What you need:

Origami Paper

Scissors

Craft wire

White florist‘s masking tape

Stamens (I have mine from Etsy)

That’s how it’s done:

Step 1:

Halve a sheet of origami paper so the square becomes two rectangles.

For each flower you need 3 of these rectangles.

Step 2:

Put the paper with the printed side face up and fold it lengthwise.

Now fold the first corner down.

Do the same with the other corner.

Repeat this on the back.

Step 3:

Rotate the paper through 180 ° and fold the top part lengthwise again.

Do the same on the back.

The petals are ready (even if it doesn’t look like it!).

Step 4:

For the stems you wrap the masking tape around the craft wire.

Wrap the middle of the stamens with a small piece of masking tape.

Cut through the stamens in the middle. You can use the second half for the next flower.

Attach the stamens to the upper third of the stem.

Bend the stalk down to create a hook.

Step 5:

Now you can put the 3 petals in the hook and...

... twist the wire tight.

Step 6:

Bend the petals evenly and unfold them carefully.

Have fun!
