Adorable little flowers! Let me show you how to make rapeseed blossoms (nanohana) with origami.

You’ll need six quarter-sized sheets of yellow origami paper, one half-sized sheet of yellow-green origami paper, and glue or double-sided tape.

First, let’s fold the blossoms.

Fold a yellow sheet into a triangle twice, crease well, then unfold.

Rolling pea

Let me introduce an idea for “Korokoro Peas” with cute faces.

First, let’s make the pod using double-sided origami paper.

Fold the paper in half to make a crease, open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center line.

Fold it in half again and staple both ends.

Open the middle, and the pod is done! Next, roll up tissue paper to make three peas, attach the face parts, and line them up inside the pod.

Finally, add leaves to the pod to finish! Try to roll the tissue paper into balls of the same size.
