Authentic dandelions that even children can makeNEW!

[Origami] Easy Dandelion Tutorial – 3D Spring Origami for March and April – Simple Folding Method Kids Can Make [Origami]

This is a full-fledged dandelion origami that lets you carefully craft the flower, leaves, and even the stem.

It may look like there are many steps, but if you proceed carefully one by one, you’ll get a beautiful result.

Start by folding a sheet cut in half; fold about one-fifth while aligning the edges with the creases to shape it, then create step folds and glue them together to complete the flower.

For the leaves, use a separate sheet: fold diagonally along the creases and open the pockets to squash-fold, adding a three-dimensional effect.

For the stem, fold a quarter-size piece and assemble it; then insert and glue the flower and leaves to finish.

Perfect for pairing with potted origami too! Cute tulipsNEW!

How to Fold an Origami Tulip＊How to make [Origami Tulip]

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.
