Origami easy! How to make a flower (lily) / Paper flower (lily) crafts step by step [instructions]

Lilies, which are in season from early summer through summer, come in various colors, but they’re often associated with a beautiful white image.

This piece shows how to create such a white, beautiful lily in three dimensions by combining origami.

The idea is to fold with the final spreading in mind, and making precise, even folds will lead to a beautiful result.

When you spread it open, curving the petals is also key—this helps create a solid sense of three-dimensionality.

Adding a stem afterward makes it easier to display, so it’s highly recommended.

Sakura wreath

[Easy Origami] How to Make a 3D Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Wreath with a Message Card – Wall Decoration [Graduation/School Entrance]

This is a three-dimensional, cute cherry blossom wreath made by linking origami cherry blossom and leaf parts into a ring.

The key is how to make the cherry blossoms: first create each petal, then assemble them into a three-dimensional, fully bloomed flower.

Fold the paper into a triangle, lift both ends, trim off the excess, then open it into a tube to complete a petal.

Line up the petals and shape them into a flower.

Finally, attach the cherry blossoms and leaf parts to a ring-shaped base you’ve cut out, and the whole piece is complete.

Adding a string so it can be hung is also recommended.

A basket of daisies

[Craft Idea] Flower Crafts: Daisies (March–April, Spring) (Recreation for Seniors) (Early Childhood Education) (Arts & Crafts) (Basket Arrangement) (Easy) (Origami) (Flower Craft)

Daisies are striking for the way they bloom in a variety of colors, and their colorful appearance really conveys the exhilaration of spring.

This craft features a basket filled with daisy flowers, appealing for its colorful and playful look.

The key is how to make the daisies: fold a strip of origami paper in half, make slits, then roll it up and finally shape it into a flower.

As you carefully spread out the petals, the daisy becomes three-dimensional.

By varying the size and how much you spread the petals, and arranging a range of colors, you can achieve an even more vibrant result.

Paper cutouts of osmanthus flowers

[Origami] Osmanthus/Flower Kirigami (55) 🌸 fragrant olive

Kinmokusei (fragrant orange osmanthus) is a plant that blooms with orange flowers in autumn and is known as one of Japan’s three great fragrant trees—its scent is very popular.

This project shows how to create a pattern resembling a chain of tiny kinmokusei flowers by cutting folded origami.

Fold the origami into a triangle, mark flower shapes on it, then cut along the marks and unfold to reveal a connected row of kinmokusei.

Since it can look flat on its own, it’s also recommended to layer the pieces, glue them onto a backing sheet, or add decorations like stickers to give it a more three-dimensional look.

poinsettia

[Origami] Poinsettia / Paper-Cut Flower (57) 🎄 Poinsettia Origami

Poinsettias, which vividly brighten up the winter season, strongly evoke Christmas with their red and green appearance.

How about recreating a poinsettia with origami to feel a touch of warmth amid the cold? The method involves cutting origami into shapes that look like spread leaves and layering them, but by giving each part crisp creases, you create depth when they’re stacked.

Make sure to press firm creases into each piece, fold and cut, and then layer them while keeping a sense of softness in mind.
