Easy origami morning glory

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to Make a Morning Glory 🌺 Summer Wall Decoration [3D] Refreshing Feel 🌈 DIY Paper Craft. Paper Flower. Origami

Let’s make morning glories—one of the quintessential symbols of summer—using origami.

First, draw a circle on blue origami paper for the flower base and cut it out with scissors.

Next, take white origami paper for the inner pattern, fold it into a triangle twice, then unfold it once.

Fold the left and right corners diagonally inward so they overlap.

Draw a V-shaped cutting line, cut along it with scissors, open it up, and attach it to the circular base.

From there, you can trim the edge of the base to form petals, or make a single slit and overlap the edges before gluing to create a three-dimensional morning glory.

Make some leaves as well, and be sure to display your work on the wall!
