Margaret
A marguerite has a pure, elegant image, doesn’t it? You can make one with a single sheet of origami, so why not give it a try? After folding the paper, cut it into the shape of petals and trim the tips a little.
Open it up and it’s done in no time! The color of marguerite flowers varies by variety, so it’s fun to choose different paper colors or add color yourself.
This cute marguerite flower is sure to add a seasonal touch to your everyday life!
Flower papercut
Kirie—the art of creating beautiful patterns simply by folding and cutting origami—is a craft filled with surprise and discovery.
Fold the origami paper several times until it becomes a triangle.
Draw motifs like snowflakes or hearts, then cut them out with scissors.
The moment you unfold the paper and a completely unexpected pattern spreads out is pure excitement.
Depending on how you sketch the design and where you cut, you can create completely different works even with the same theme.
Choosing colored origami paper or adding glitter for the finishing touch makes the result more vibrant and striking.
Through the process, you can develop dexterity and a sense of design, and once displayed, the pieces brighten up any room.
Gerbera
Origami you can enjoy in any season.
This time, we’re introducing a simple and beautiful way to fold a gerbera.
The key is to make crisp crease lines at the beginning and keep folding from there! There’s a step where you open the paper partway through and then fold it back again, so it might be a bit tricky until you get the hang of it.
But if you work carefully to the end, you’ll have a three-dimensional, one-of-a-kind gerbera.
Its delicate design and colors will brighten up any room, and it makes a lovely addition to a gift, too!
dogwood (flowering dogwood)
Blooming from April to May, dogwood flowers are popular for their vivid yet delicate beauty.
How about expressing that beauty with origami? This method involves creasing the paper and then folding it into the final flower shape.
It may feel difficult at first if you’re not used to it, but try finding your own rhythm and tips as you go! The result has a three-dimensional look, so it would make a lovely spring-themed wall decoration, like a field of flowers.
Yuri
This is an origami lily that lets you easily create a three-dimensional look.
No particularly difficult techniques are required, but be careful during the shaping process as you open up the folded sections.
For the finishing touch, use a pen or similar tool to curl the petals outward for added flair.
Try making it in various colors like white, pink, or orange for fun.
Using gradient origami paper can give it a different vibe as well.
