What you'll need to make the flower is a piece of square paper.

It doesn't need to be origami paper, the only thing that maters is that its square.

If you don't have a square piece of paper don't worry you can make one with

*A Piece of Printer Paper

*Scissors

*A Ruler

*A Pencil

If You Don't have square paper then do the following

• Take the printer paper

*Take a flap and fold it like shown in the first and second pictures

*Use a pencil to mark the line that was made between the triangle and the rectangle

*Using scissors, cut along the line

Voila there you have a square!

Have the color you want to have on the outside of the flower facing upwards.


Fold the paper in half forming a rectangle.

Fold it sideways now. Look at the pictures



You should end up having a small square

Now this is where it starts getting tricky

Take a flap and open up a half of the square.

Flatten the square into a triangle.

Again please Look at the Pictures

Now Flatten the other square

By now you shoud have a triangle.

Take one flap and flatten it.


Try to align the creases, that way the flower will come out symmetrical

Take the flaps from the diamond shape created and fold them to the line.

Then unfold them to make a crease.




Note: Crease means to mark the shape

OK Now this is the trickiest part of the flower so you might want to look at the pictures a couple of times to understand.

Lift the bottom flap (the point of the diamond shape) up.

Fatten it making sure that the bottom flap stays over the top flap. Like I said You might want to take an extra look at the pictures.

Turn it over clockwise.


Now take the bottom flap of the diamond and fold its corners inside, just like the previous step.

Now take another flap of the triangle and repeat steps 7-10 on the remaining three flaps

Take a flap and fold it down. Repeat with the other flaps.

There You have a flower!

It'll probably look irregular or some pars will look diffrent than others, but don't worry, you just need some practice.

After a while you'll start to see the difference.

If you want you could roll the petals with a pencil like so:
