Introduction: Origami Paper Flowers
Follow along to make these easy origami flowers! They are very simple to make, and you will have a full bouquet in no time!
Step 1: Cut Your Squares
I used 3" x 3" squares of paper cut from old magazines. I like using magazine paper as it gives a little "texture" to the flowers. You will need five squares per flower head you wish to make
Step 2: Start Folding!
Make your first fold! Fold your square up so two corners are touching
Step 3:
Next, fold the two corner points up to the top middle point
Step 4:
Then, fold your two top points out to the side
Step 5:
This step is the hardest to describe, you need to open up the two side flaps and fold them flat so it looks like you have three equally shaped parts. ** this step is actually very easy once you get it! Keep at it until you have it down :) **
Step 6:
Fold down the two tops of the side flaps
Step 7: Last Folding Step
You are almost there! Fold your two side parts in half in towards the middle
Step 8: Create One Petal
Hooray! You have finished folding!
Bring the two sides together to make a petal and secure with a little piece of tape
Step 9: Create Your Flower
Once you have five petals, secure them all together using double sided tape (or glue) to create your flower!
Step 10: Make a Beautiful Bouquet
Secure lots of flowers together to create a beautiful bouquet. It looks great and it never needs watering!

So cute! I like how they look made from magazines. Gives really good color variation without feeling like too much of a pattern.

I agree! I like the randomness of the colours it creates - more natural :)
