Here's a step-by-step guide to making these delightful flowers:
- Choose your paper and fold: Start by selecting tissue paper or coloured paper. Cut sheets (6x12 inches or larger) and stack several layers (6-12). Accordion fold the paper lengthwise in 1-inch wide folds, back and forth until fully folded.
- Shape the petals: Once you have your accordion-folded paper, cut the folded paper ends into shapes for petals, such as rounded or pointed edges. For a leaf effect, you can also cut small points or curves on the sides.
- Secure the center: Tie a pipe cleaner, floral wire, or string tightly around the middle of the folded paper to hold it together.
- Fan out the flower: Gently pull apart each folded layer toward the center on both sides to fluff and form the petals, creating a blooming flower effect. Adjust the layers as needed.
- Add flower center and stems (optional): Tape or glue a paper circle or shape in the flower center for decoration. Wrap floral wire with green tape for stems if desired.
- Create garlands or decorations: Tape or string the flowers along a string for a colourful garland. These flowers can also be glued to walls or put in vases, perfect for birthdays and spring-themed parties.
These flowers are quick to make and require no specific skills. With just a few basic materials—origami paper, scissors, stapler, double-sided tape, yarn (optional), and a hole punch (optional)—you can create beautiful decorations for your next celebration.
