Follow along to make these easy origami flowers! They are very simple to make, and you will have a full bouquet in no time!

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

Start Folding!

Make your first fold! Fold your square up so two corners are touching

Next, fold the two corner points up to the top middle point

Then, fold your two top points out to the side

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 :) **

Bring the two sides together to make a petal and secure with a little piece of tape

Once you have five petals, secure them all together using double sided tape (or glue) to create your flower!
