Introduction: Origami Fireworks
Hey momoluvers it's momo and today I'm making an awesome craft that makes cute decor for Christmas. It's called origami fireworks because it looks like fireworks when you spin it
Step 1: Supplies
1- scissors
2- 15 sheets of 9x9 cm paper
Step 2: Fold
Fold the paper diagonally both ways
Now fold the paper in fourths
Step 3: Meet the Crease
Flip the paper over the other way and fold it down about an eighth of the way to meet the crease of the diagonal line and the fourth line
Step 4: Collapse It
Collapse the paper to form into a triangle
Step 5: A Little House!
Pull the flap up to meet the top corner and crease and crease it. Now push the edge in to make what looks like above
Step 6: Repeat (kinda)
Take the bottom flap and fold it up to meet the crease. Unfold it.
Step 7: 15? 15.
Do this with each sheet of paper. I'm not going to lie, this step is extensive! (I took about 2 and a half hours)
Step 8: Linked In
Take the bottom flap of one piece, and the center of another piece and lock them together. Do this for all of the pieces
Step 9: Follow the Pics So You Don't Get Lost!
Fold the first flap up to form a little house shape.
Fold it back down over itself
Repeat on both sides on the entire thing
That's what it should look like when you've completed the whole thing
Step 10: Flaps
Go between the flaps you just created and fold it up like so and then close it.
It should look like it does above.
Once again repeat this on every flap.
Step 11: Connect the Ends
Take the two ends and link them together like you did in the beginning.
Step 12: Finish!
This is what your final piece should look like! When you rotate it in your fingers, it looks like it's exploding.

Thanks. It would be easier to see if each unit was a different colour. The joining would be easier to see also. Otherwise very good, concise.

You have to take the two little flaps in front of a piece and slide them into the middle of another piece.
