HOW TO make paper flower?

I learned how to make this flower a few years back when i am still in secondary school. I do love Origami at that time, simply amazing to see a plain paper transformed into delicately fold object. The art Origami could be divided into several level of difficulty. Well, i may only fit into the medium level i guess. I have seen those really really complicated ones!

Still remember that i used to make this flower with 2 of my best friend in college, we used to make hundred of them and put into a huge bouquet. Sadly i did not have any picture of that. I really did enjoyed and miss all those happy moment together!

Enough of stories, this is how you make the flower. Things needed are paper (A4), ruler, scissors and pencil.

Step 1: Fold the paper into triangle as shown in the picture. This is to get a square out of it.

Step 2: Fold the remaining of the end as per picture shown.
Step 3: Cut out the below unwanted part, leaving the square behind. Fold into half.
Step 4: Fold again into half to become a smaller square.

Step 5: Open the fold of step 4, find the middle point of the paper and using the point as centre to fold into 3 equal part as shown in the picture.
Step 6: Draw a line from one end of the paper to another end.
Step 7: Cut out the down part, leaving the triangle paper behind.
Step 8: Using the scissors, cut a slight curve at the line in Step 7. This will make the needed shape of paper for the flower.

Step 9: Open the paper, fold into half as shown in the picture.
Step 10: Open the flap inside to create 3 different flap as shown.
Step 11: Open each flap and fold into the position as shown in the picture.
Step 12: Fold the second flap as Step 11.
Step 13: Repeat Step 11. Picture shown all 3 flap has been folded. Now you have 6 smaller flap
Step 14: Open the small flap again, and fold as shown in picture.
Step 15: Repeat the same for the remaining 5 flap. Picture shown completed flap.
Step 16: Fold the upper corners of both side inwards as shown in the picture.

Step 17: Open the fold and pull down the middle part as shown in the picture.

Step 18: Then, fold the flap up.
Step 19: Fold both side of the flap inwards as shown in the picture.
Step 20: Repeat for all the remaining flap. Completed flap is shown in the picture.

Step 21: The flower is completed. Open up the flower by curling up the petal.
For more attractive flower, you may opt to add the filament in the center of flower by attach it to a stem (usually wires). You may also add leave by wrapping the stem with green floral tape.

Try it yourself!
