How to make origami flowers in 9 easy steps.

Today I am going to show you how to make origami flowers in 9 easy steps. The flower I will be making is called Kusudama, I've always been interested by paper folding and thought it would be good to share a tutorial with you all.

Items used

Chili Flame Thermal Cardstock

Wind Flames Glitter Cardstock

We are currently collaborating with Scraperfect during our DT term, so I have some of their goodies to play with, in this tutorial I will be using their Best glue ever.

Instructions

The flowers can be made in various sizes but you always need square paper, I used 3x3 inch.

Fold the paper diagonally to create a triangle

Fold the outer edges in to the centre

Now fold the inner folds to the outer edges

Open out the folds and flatten, it should look like you have 2 kites with a diamond between them

Fold the tips down

Fold along the creases

Bring the edges together and glue to create your first petal.

Each flower needs 5 petals, this is how they look when glued together.

Here I have stuck 6 flowers together and added circles of card to the centre of all the flowers

Here's a red version with black centres.

I think these will make lovely table decorations for Valentines day.
