An easy way to fold a tulipNEW!

It’s a clever idea that recreates one of the tulip’s features: leaves shaped to hide the stem.
For the flower, you basically fold the origami into a triangle, then fold up both corners.
Tuck the tips to the back to round them off for a nice finish.
For the leaves, fold the origami into a triangle to make a crease, open it, then fold the top and bottom corners to the center.
Next, fold all four edges slightly away from the initial crease.
At this point, make sure the top, bottom, left, and right corners come to sharp points.
Once all edges are folded, fold the paper in half along the crease, then overlap the left and right corners to halve it again.
Finally, fold one of the overlapped corners back diagonally, and you’re done.
How to fold a tulip bouquetNEW!

A bouquet of tulips that’s perfect as a handmade gift for someone who’s helped you.
For the flowers, fold the origami into a triangle and make a crease down the center.
Fold the left and right corners diagonally toward the center line to form the petals.
Round off the left and right corners and the flower part is complete.
Using the same folding method, make five flowers, changing the origami colors as you like.
For the leaves, make a center crease and fold the left and right corners toward the center.
The key is to leave a gap at the center and fold into a triangle.
Using the same method, fold eight leaf-and-stem pieces.
Attach the flowers, stems, and leaves together, then wrap them with gift wrapping paper to finish.
It may be appreciated as a heartfelt present.
Tulip Origami You Can Make with Two Sheets of Origami Paper!NEW!

Here’s an origami tulip idea where valley folds are the key.
First, make creases to divide the paper into a 4×4 grid.
Once the creases are set, place the paper color side up, fold the bottom edge up to meet the topmost crease, then fold it back down at the bottommost crease.
Do the same with the top edge.
Flip the paper over again, turn it vertically, then fold the bottom edge up along the lowest crease.
Pull the left and right corners downward to open the pockets and squash them flat.
Fold both corners into triangles, then fold the remaining center section forward.
Fold the two corners of that section into triangles as well to form three petals.
Make a wrap fold along the top edge to match the crease, then fold the corners to round them off, and you’re done.
Use another sheet of origami paper to make the stem and leaves.
Perfect for pairing with potted origami too! Cute tulipsNEW!

A tulip that looks cute displayed with a potted plant and can stand on its own.
For the flower, fold the origami into a triangle twice, then fold both sides up to meet the tip at the center to form the base of the flower.
Fold a petal from the center toward the lower right, then open it with your finger and make a squash fold so the petal puffs out.
When overlapping and folding the petals so they cross the center line, the key is to keep an eye on the overall balance.
For the leaves, cut toward the center line with scissors, leaving a narrow stem section, and insert the cut origami into the pocket area.
If you glue the stem section together, you’ll create a stronger stem.
After making squash folds on the leaves to shape them, attach the flower and leaves together to finish.
Cute for display! 3D tulipsNEW!

Introducing a tulip idea that results in a striking piece by curving the tips of the petals! After doing the “zabuton fold,” which gathers the corners of the origami to the center, fold it into a triangle twice, squash the pocket that forms, and return the paper to a square.
Fold the corners of the square on both sides to the center line, flip the paper so the folded parts are on the inside, and then fold the bottom edge slightly inward.
Cut the bottom corner of the origami and puff it out from the inside to complete the tulip flower.
Curve the tips of the petals for a three-dimensional finish, attach the stem and leaves, and you’re done.
Easy Morning Glory Origami Instructions

Perfect for the rainy season! Let’s make a hydrangea.
After folding the origami into a triangle twice, squash the pocketed part into a square so that two squares overlap, and tidy the paper.
Round off the corner where all four corners of the origami meet, then open it up, keeping the center intact.
Shape it so that there are four petals, and your hydrangea is complete.
For the leaves, fold green origami into a triangle twice, then unfold one layer back once.
Fold the left and right edges down toward the central crease, then open the corners gathered at the center diagonally outward to form the leaves.

Perfect for decoration! Tulips

Here’s an idea for making a tulip using two sheets of origami paper.
You’ll make the flower and the stem/leaves separately, and each part takes only five folds.
For the flower: fold the paper into a triangle twice, then unfold one fold.
With the image of crossing the left and right corners along the center line, fold them up and overlap.
Tuck the bottom corner slightly to the back to finish the flower.
For the stem and leaves: take the other sheet, fold it into a triangle once and open it.
Fold the two left edges along the crease you just made.
Fold the paper in half along the first crease, turn the narrow pointed end upward, and fold up the bottom part to complete the stem and leaves.
Glue them together and use as wall decorations, etc.
