Origami rose

OK GUYS, I've heard the cries of disappointment. I suggest that whenever you get stuck in this Instructable, check out the link to the video I posted on the very last step. The video goes very fast, so use this Instructable as a broken-down guide to what is going on in the video. This would probably help a lot for those of you who said the pictures weren't very clear. Hope this helps!

Step 1: Start with an 8*8 grid

Fold the paper into an 8*8 grid. I believe that most of you already know how to do this. Add two diagonal folds.

Cool!!!

I misread the title, I thought it said "Origami Nose"

[ihoppancakes]

Called the Kawasaki Twist I think. It's pretty cool!

[Nameramthgin]

You are correct, this is a simplified instruction for the kawasaki rose, second version I believe. Looking through these instructables on origami I find myself disappointed that many of these folders do not feel the need to acknowledge the original designer of the work they are showing, especially when entering contests........

*says* I've had enough (in an agitated voice)
finds sister at room door
*glares at sister*
sister screams and runs away


looks back at screen then at paper.
Finds out I did it right.. 0_o

i only made this by the power of listening to dubstep/techno while folding

[coolo52]

i made this :) fun to make, 5 stars

my tip:when collapsing the triangles, slightly crimp the collapsed triangle so it doesn't unfold

[chuynh1]

i got so pissed that i ripped my paper and quit :L

[askinkle]

wtf

[hermionegranger]

This is a wonderful instructable, though I did first learn how to make this version through the slowed down video. It's nice to have text and pictures that you don't have to keep pausing :)

[g dude]

i used the vid and i ended up wit a crumbled peice of paper

This was the first origami rose that I have ever been able to complete. xD

Yay!!

Well I am lost here. You can't just tell us to follow the pictures, because the pictures are too close and do no justice. I'm gone. Please do wider pictures with much better written instructions; where to fold, not just "fold small triangles".

[ninjacow258]

Sorry. There's a link to a video tutorial in the last step, and the video should clear up most questions. :)

[DIS.AR.RAY]

Yeah this picture doesn't really show where you're folding. You could probably take the photo from a wider angle and it be better.

[ninjacow258]

Even though I did this instructable a LOOONNG time ago, but I received several comments where people got stuck at one point, so I will post a video soon showing the steps up close (the video I included originally was deleted by its uploader....)

i dont get it from here...im lost help

[craftyv]

use the same terms every time you use a step thats the same.eg. "turn over" (means pick it all up and completely turn over and start working on the other side of the paper) rather than turn around [as used in step 6]which could mean something else

[vbm_88]

you lost me!

[Guna7777]

 Hiya.. Have to agree with Migliore.. Spent some time this afternoon with these particular instructions melting my head.. The instructions and the photographs don't seem to correspond, perhaps wider images would sort this out.. Another suggestion might be to number each square on the 8x8 grid just for the photos, as sometimes when u spoke about triangles and squares I couldn't see them or figure out which ones or where you were talking about... Found this video link which is fairly easy to follow, you might find useful inspiration. All the best. O

i dont understand *_*

[migliore]

you lost me here (step 7)  I fold a lot but the directions for this step didn't make sense to me. more pictures, a wide shot maybe would help

[ninjacow258]

I posted a video...the person who made the video did that stepdifferently than what I did, and I personally thought her way needed abit more practice to get just right, but it will probably help xD

[randomguy96]

These instructions are the first I am able the fully understand. All the other ones did not have enough pictures, or the instructions weren't descriptive enough. I had a little trouble understanding step 7, though. Good work.

[ninjacow258]

thank you :)
That means a lot to me...since I usually suck at explaining

[ChocolateFox20]

is there a Vid 4 this step?? i really like this rose bettter than the Rose Bouque Tut. if there is a vid i want a vid 4 this particular rose.

[ninjacow258]

[ChocolateFox20]

[ChocolateFox20]

[ninjacow258]

If it helps, I think there's a vid on Youtube that teaches this part :)
