[Mother's Day] A simple 3D carnation you can make with origami

Carnation you can make with two sheets of origami paper

[Origami] Carnation (Slow Version) / [Origami] Carnation

Here’s an idea for making a carnation using two sheets of origami paper.

The flower, leaves, and stem are all folded, so it’s perfect for those who want to enjoy origami.

For the flower, use sheets cut to one quarter of a full square.

Fold all four corners of the paper inward, flip it over, then fold it in half along the horizontal center line.

Fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner, and repeat the same folding two more times.

Make four pieces in the same way, shape them by pressing them against something like a pen cap to add dimension, then stack them to complete the flower.

Use the remaining full sheet to make the stem, leaves, and flower stalk.

You’ll need three 5 cm × 5 cm pieces of origami paper for the leaves and flower stalk, so use the leftover portion for the stem.

Let’s make a cute and pop-style carnation using origami! The steps are simple, so it’s easy for kids to try, too.

First, cut the origami paper into quarters.

Fold it into a square twice, then fold it in half again to make a triangle.

Use pinking scissors to cut along the outer, fluttery edge.

Next, unfold the paper and make slits toward the center, then use double-sided tape to stick the slit parts so they form a round shape.

Make another one the same way and stack them.

The key is to attach them with double-sided tape so there’s a slight difference in how open each layer is.

Finally, curl the tip of a green chenille stem (pipe cleaner), then thread it from the opposite end through the center of the paper—and you’re done! Using different materials and patterns to make a bouquet will look super cute.

Carnations that can be made into a bouquet

Let me show you how to make carnations that give a soft, gentle impression.

For this idea, you’ll need one sheet each of origami paper sized 15 cm × 7 cm and 15 cm × 15 cm to make a single carnation.

Use the smaller sheet to roll and form the stem.

Use the larger sheet for the flower: first cut it in half, then fold each half lengthwise to make a long strip.

Along the folded (looped) edge, make evenly spaced cuts from end to end.

Then curl the strip around the stem and secure it with tape, and you’re done.

Try wrapping it with gift wrap, tying a ribbon, and arranging it like a bouquet for a lovely present.

Almost like the real thing? Here’s how to make super fluffy carnations.

Believe it or not, you can make them by layering six sheets of origami paper! First, prepare six round-cut sheets of origami paper, fold them, and make fine slits.

Be sure to cut so there’s a small hole in the center as well.

Open the paper and make larger cuts so the circle is divided into 16 sections, then fold each petal one by one.

Make six of these.

Finally, stack all six, thread an origami-made stem and calyx through the center, and secure with glue—that’s it! Try making them with different colors of origami paper.

Let’s make a carnation bouquet you can gift as is! Take 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm origami paper and fold it in a cushion (zabuton) fold, then fold all four corners inward.

Flip the paper over, fold it in half along the horizontal center line, then accordion-fold both sides toward the center three times.

Unfold back to the state where the corners are folded in, and crease the remaining sections in the same pattern.

Make three identical pieces, stack and glue them together, then attach them to a stem made by rolling paper of the same size—the carnation is complete.

Wrap it with origami paper as wrapping to finish the bouquet!

Carnation made only with origami

[Origami] How to make a 3D carnation — easy folding method, spring origami, March/April origami, suitable for kids [origami]

Here’s how to make a three-dimensional carnation using a single sheet of origami paper.

This method doesn’t require scissors or cutting—just one sheet is all you need, so it’s easy to try.

Instead of making cuts, you’ll shape the petals through delicate folds and careful pressure, which may feel a bit challenging if you’re not used to origami.

However, since the process mainly repeats the same steps, you’ll get the hang of it as you fold and be able to proceed more smoothly.

Be sure to follow the steps carefully and give it a try!

How about giving a mini carnation, charming in its petite size? It requires some detailed work, but the steps are very simple, so it’s easy to make even if you’re not confident with crafts.

First, prepare four sheets of origami paper cut into circles of the same size, fold them, and make slits.

Keeping the jagged edges of carnation petals in mind, carefully snip with scissors.

The finer the cuts, the more delicate and elegant the result will be.

Be sure to make a slit so there’s a hole in the center as well.

Once you’ve made four identical pieces, stack them.

Finally, thread through a stem and calyx made from origami and secure with glue to finish.

Adding leaves or a ribbon will make it even cuter.
