[Origami] Easy way to fold and cut a cherry blossom petal from a single sheet for kids

As you make cherry blossoms—symbols of spring—out of origami, let’s also get used to using scissors! First, take pink origami paper, fold it into a square twice, then open it once, and create an X-shaped crease on one half.

Along that crease, start folding from the side without the crease to form a shape like a crêpe.

Next, mark a guide for the cherry blossom petals, cut along the marks with scissors, and open it up—the cherry blossom is complete! Do the same folding, cutting, and opening with a quarter-size sheet of yellow origami paper, then stick it in the center of the pink origami to make the cherry blossom’s stamens.
