Pom-pom flower ball

How to make fluffy origami flowers | Wall decorations | Pom-pom flower balls | How to make pom pom flowers with paper | AyaWangPaper

How about making a pom-pom flower ball with a bright and cute look? It takes a bit of effort, but it’s not as hard as it seems.

Cut a cone shape from paper, trim off the tip, and add jagged cuts to create the look of petals.

Then use a toothpick to curl the petals round and round.

It’s a steady, repetitive task, but this is the key to making it look cute and puffed into a round shape! Finally, gather the curled colored paper and glue it together with something like wood glue.

It also looks adorable when you attach a half-sphere version to the wall.

Wisteria Flowers Made from Triangles

Kimie Gangi: Super-easy wisteria made from triangle origami

This is a wisteria decoration made by combining origami folded into triangles.

The folding method is very simple: first, divide a sheet of origami into four triangular parts.

Apply glue to the left and right edges and fold them inward toward the center.

Glue two of these pieces together to make one large blossom.

Next, make the small blossoms.

This time, divide the origami into four squares, then fold each square in half to make a triangle.

Fold them the same way as the large blossom, preparing both some pieces glued in pairs and some left as single pieces.

Attach these in order onto a paper tape, and the beauty of the arrangement will create a lovely wisteria trellis!

Wisteria flowers made with the kirigami technique

DIY Paper Wisteria | Paper Flowers | Origami Flowers

These are wisteria flowers made of origami, with realistically tapered petals that get smaller toward the tip.

If you use two-tone origami paper with a gradient, the result will be even more striking.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice.

Then cut it into half a heart shape and unfold it.

You’ll have eight petals; cut off one petal, then glue the remaining edges together to make a six-petal flower.

Gradually increase the portion you cut off to create slightly smaller flowers as you go.

String the flowers together from the smallest one using a needle and thread, and you’ll end up with an exquisitely delicate and beautiful wisteria.

Seasonal Origami: Wisteria Flowers

Seasonal Origami: Wisteria Flowers

These are wisteria flowers made in a tsumami-zaiku style using origami.

First, cut a 7.5 cm sheet of origami paper into four equal pieces.

Fold each piece into a triangle, bring the left and right corners to the center, and glue them in place.

Fold it into a triangle again, then use tweezers to open and adjust it so each piece looks like a petal.

Combine these to create the wisteria flower.

Make the leaves by cutting green origami paper into four equal pieces as well.

The work is a bit detailed, but there aren’t any complicated steps, so dividing up the tasks should make it enjoyable.

Wisteria blooms with rows of tiny petals in vivid colors—mount them on a shikishi board and the room’s atmosphere will instantly become more festive.
