Now you’ll take the front leg of each strip and fold it back and down over that woven centre, keeping it in line with its other half so you don’t get any wonky angles.

Now you can carefully pull them all together and against each other to create a square-shaped woven centre. Position it to the right of your first vertical strip and slide its further leg down between the sides of the two horizontal strips, letting its forward leg that is closer to your pass over them. Now, pick up your final strip in that colour and turn it so it’s vertical like the first one, but this time with its folded end facing up and its angled ends facing down. Once again, you’ll leave about an inch of its end sticking out (to the opposite side of the strip below it). Slide the leg on its further side through your first strip again, just like you did with the second one, but higher up the strip this time. Then pick up a third strip with whichever hand you’re not holding your other two in and turn it so it is also horizontal, but with its folded and pointing to the left. Don’t slide the second strip all the way into the first one just yet leave its folded end sticking out perpendicularly to the bottom of the first strip about an inch. The two strips are now linked together, each with one side of the other between its own sides. Pick up a second strip, with it horizontally with its folded end pointing to the right, and slide its further side between the sides of your first strip, near the bottom so it slides into the first strip’s fold. Next, pick up one and hold it with its folded end pointed downward. You now have four folded strips in your first colour, each with an even angle in the ends. Cut diagonally there to create angled pointed tips. Next, take your scissors to the ends and angle them downward and diagonally from the left corner, across to the right side a little lower down. Find the absolute halfway point on the end that curves and pinch the strips there to make an actual fold, marking their middles all at once. Without shifting the strips, bring the bottom end to meet the top end, folding their length in half. First, take all four strips in your first colour and pile them on top of each other in a stack, nice and neatly with their ends and edges sitting evenly as though they’re all one. Now you’re ready to start folding! Step 2:Ĭreate the first flower in your bunch! You’ll complete this step four times in total, once with each of your flower colours, to make the heads and petals that make up your finished bunch. You’ll need four strips in each colour (but you can cut more just in case or keep the leftover paper on hand as backup). Finally, cut your other coloured paper pages into strips. I then measured two inches up from the centre of the bottom edge to get the top point and angled the two side slopes evenly to get my triangles. I made each of mine two inches wide along their straight bottom edges. Next, cut two isosceles triangles out of your green paper. This will be the base on which you build your floral scene using your finished origami pieces. Trim your yellow cardstock down if necessary and then set it into your frame. Gather your materials! Before you even start your actual origami techniques, do a little bit of setup to make things easier on yourself. Coloured paper (green, blue, yellow, orange, pink).Since I enjoy watching other people’s tutorials so much, I decided I’d also document the process so that my fellow crafters can see how the project is done and try it out for themselves as well! Check out these step by step instructions complete with photo, or keep scrolling to find a video tutorial at the end of this post. One friend in particular loved the concept so much that I actually decided to make her some origami flower art of her own as a gift. When I posted what I’d made on social media, it got a fantastic response. I tried it out by making some flowers and I loved it so much that I framed it and hung it on my wall! This is a technique where you make several small piece or origami from coloured paper and arrange them together on a base piece to create a textured or 3D scene. That’s why kind or origami I first learned about and tried out as well! Recently, however, I came across the concept of making framed origami art and I was immediately smitten. If you’ve ever tried origami before, then I’d be willing to bet that you made a cute little structure or shape from folded paper that was 3D in nature and might even have stood up on its own.
