![]() ![]() Your welcome in advance :) Lets begin: Materials you will need: Origami paper (you can also use magazine paper, construction paper or scrapbooking paper, although with each paper comes a different paper weight and will either make it more difficult or easier to use) A cutting board or scissors Ruler Rubber band or twisty tie Once you decide on what color you would like your lotus flower petals to be, cut (8) 3x5.5-inch pieces of your paper in that color. A great way to use one of these flowers would also include slipping a sweet little note right into the center of the pedals and gifting to a friend or loved one. ![]() Your friends will think you are an origami master! I have my little Lotus flowers sitting around my house making my shelves more interesting and creating conversation. I didn't replace my faux flowers over night but over time they were weeded out and I have begun to use other forms, such as crochet flowers, fabric flowers and yes origami paper flowers just like the tutorial for today. The news gave me pause to say the least and catapulted me into another world of creativity and imagination. I thought it was pretty spectacular and my world had just been shattered. What! No fake flowers?! Like for real for real or just kind of for real?! At the time I kinda maybe was guilty of having a fake flower arrangement on my dining room table that rivaled something out of Butchart Gardens. One by one, fold out all 4 layers from the bottom and towards the front to complete the origami lotus.Īnd we have our origami lotus flower ready! You can practice origami lotus making to perfect your paper folding skill as well, this is a great craft for practicing and perfecting origami folding skills.I can remember years ago tuning into an episode of Oprah Winfrey and was devastated when Nate Berkus, home decorator, announced that having fake flowers in your home was one of the bigest faux pas of all time. Step 13: Bring All 4 Bottom Layers to the Front Step 12: Bring the Bottom Layer to the Frontįold out the bottom layer to the front nicely and neatly. Now carefully flip the current pattern and unfold one of the bottom layers. Similarly, fold in all 4 corners of the top square towards the center of the pattern. Apply glue if necessary (although that’s optional). Hold a corner of the top square and fold it towards the center. Notice that there are 2 squares, one on the top and one on the bottom. Keeping the folds of the previous step intact, carefully flip the current paper pattern to the other side. Similarly, fold out the rest of the corners. Hold any one of the corners and fold-out 2/3 of the paper outwards. Now unfold the last corner folds of the paper pattern. Hold the corners and fold them inside towards the center of the pattern like we did in the previous steps. Without unfolding any of the previous folds, carefully flip the current paper pattern to the other side. Step 3: Folding Corners (2nd Time)įold in all 4 corners of the current pattern once again. Similarly, fold the rest of the 3 corners of the square paper. Hold a corner of the square paper and fold it inside, joining the corner with the center of the square paper. These 4 folds are to create creases on the square paper. Fond the square paper into half diagonally on both sides and unfold them again. Take the square paper and make half folds on both sides and then unfold each half folds. ![]() Step-by-Step Folding Instructions Step 1: Base Creases But if this is your first attempt at making origami crafts, we suggest that you use a ruler and pencil to trace a square shape on the paper and use scissors to cut out the traced square nicely from the paper. Using tools is optional if you’re good with freehand measurements of paper.
