A pretty Origami flower<\/strong> are usually made from five or six square folded sheets of paper<\/strong>. By combining let’s say ten single Origami flowers into one you will even get a beautiful Origami flower ball.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this how to<\/strong>, \u00a0we will show all basic steps to fold<\/strong> an outstanding and perfect Origami flower<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, this Origami folding<\/strong> is only half as difficult as it looks like. The folding is therefore also perfect to do together with children.<\/span> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ready ? Let’s get started !<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Five sheets of square paper<\/strong> ( at best colored ) as well as glue<\/strong> ( we prefer white glue over a glue stick )<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 1<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Take a square piece of paper and fold it in half diagonally.<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>The result should be a triangle as shown above.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Fold the bottom two corners to the upper corner. The result will be a square sheet.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Now fold the two previous folds backwards but only about\u00a0“halfway”<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\nMake sure that the back-folded back edges are lining up with the edges of the square below.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 4<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Unfold the triangles from the previous step<\/strong>.
\nJust as shown in the picture above, go and lift each side of the triangle. Now use your finger\u00a0to open the pocket inside by re flatten along the crease. Each pocket should now have the form of a diamond.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 5<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Turn the paper over<\/strong>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 6<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Fold in the triangular corner on the left side<\/strong>.
\nWhen you open the left side of the folded paper slightly, you’ll see that\u00a0under the top sheet of paper, there is a fold, which comprises half the diamonds below.\u00a0Simply fold under the top of the diamond in the body of the shape of space\u00a0Paper, which is covered half.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 7<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Do the same as seen on Step 6 with the right side.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 8<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Please turn the paper over<\/strong>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 9<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Fold left and right corners inward<\/strong> along the folds, which already exist.The outline should be obtained again a square.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 10<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Glue the top flaps folded in the locations shown in the image.<\/strong>
\nA glue stick might be a good idea. However I prefer white glue because this kind of glue is not drying that fast !<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 11<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Press the flaps together<\/strong>Go and tightly press the crease so that the inner folds\u00a0will move into the center of the pocket.
\nNow fix it with one or two paper clips.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 12<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Repeat Steps 1 to 11 to get four more<\/strong>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 13<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Paste glue on the seam of each piece<\/strong>.
\nMake sure to apply enough glue just the same way as shown in the picture above.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 14<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Now we start with the assembling by pressing all five pieces together.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 15<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
By adding all pieces together you should\u00a0have the same result as shown above.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 
\nStep 16<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Please use some\u00a0paper clips<\/strong> to fix the petals.\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0…….and our beautiful Origami flower is finished !<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Depending on the type of glue, please wait some<\/strong>time until it’s completely dried before releasing the paper clips.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\n
 <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wow, that’s a beautiful Origami Flower<\/strong> !<\/h3>\n
