An easy way to fold a tulipNEW!

Spring Origami: Easy Tulip Folding Method [With Audio Commentary]

It’s a clever idea that recreates one of the tulip’s features: leaves shaped to hide the stem.

For the flower, you basically fold the origami into a triangle, then fold up both corners.

Tuck the tips to the back to round them off for a nice finish.

For the leaves, fold the origami into a triangle to make a crease, open it, then fold the top and bottom corners to the center.

Next, fold all four edges slightly away from the initial crease.

At this point, make sure the top, bottom, left, and right corners come to sharp points.

Once all edges are folded, fold the paper in half along the crease, then overlap the left and right corners to halve it again.

Finally, fold one of the overlapped corners back diagonally, and you’re done.

Mini Tulip OrigamiNEW!

[Origami] How to Make a Mini Tulip, a Flower Vase, and Wrapping Examples / [Origami] How to make a small tulip, a vase, and examples of wrapping

This tulip piece becomes a lovely spring gift if you wrap it.

The flower part is folded the same way as a balloon up to a certain point.

Fold a square sheet using the zabuton fold, then fold it into a triangle twice, squash the pocket to make a square, and fold both corners to meet the center line.

After that, open it from the top so the inside puffs out gently, and it’s complete.

Combine it with a stem rolled into a tube and a leaf made by folding the four edges to the center line, and you’ll have a tulip that looks just like the real thing! In this idea, multiple flowers are made and arranged in a vase, or wrapped as a bouquet to create a gift-like finish.

[Easy Origami] Even small kids can fold it! Cute♡ Tulip | Origami Tulip

Tulips are perfect for spring message cards and wall displays.

The method is simple, making it great for children’s fine motor practice.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper and fold them separately for the flower and the leaves.

For the flower, fold the paper in half into a triangle, then hold the left and right corners and fold them up diagonally.

Flip the paper over, fold the tip to round it off, and the flower is complete.

For the leaves, fold the paper into a triangle twice, then fold the tip toward the center.

When shaping the leaves, watch the balance and make them even.

It’s also a great idea to glue the finished leaves and flower together and add a message.

Give it a try!

Origami tulip – cube tulip / How to make origami tulips / paper-folding tulip #origami tulip #origami tulips #spring origami #graduation origami #school entrance origami

A tulip that looks great from every angle—360 degrees! This cute idea features a potted design.

Fold the origami paper in half twice to make a square, open up the pocketed parts and squash them flat to form triangles on both sides.

Next, fold the two corners of each triangle up to meet the top corner, then flip layers so that the folded sections are on the inside and a flat face is showing.

On the flat face, fold the top edges on both sides toward the center line.

After folding both sides, tuck the right edge inside the folded left edge.

Then gently pull outward on the two triangular openings at the bottom of the paper and press with your fingers to flatten the base.

Finally, curl the four top corners outward to form the petals, and you’re done.

Make the stem, leaves, and pot as well to complete the piece.

Perfect for pairing with potted origami too! Cute tulipsNEW!

How to Fold an Origami Tulip＊How to make [Origami Tulip]

A tulip that looks cute displayed with a potted plant and can stand on its own.

For the flower, fold the origami into a triangle twice, then fold both sides up to meet the tip at the center to form the base of the flower.

Fold a petal from the center toward the lower right, then open it with your finger and make a squash fold so the petal puffs out.

When overlapping and folding the petals so they cross the center line, the key is to keep an eye on the overall balance.

For the leaves, cut toward the center line with scissors, leaving a narrow stem section, and insert the cut origami into the pocket area.

If you glue the stem section together, you’ll create a stronger stem.

After making squash folds on the leaves to shape them, attach the flower and leaves together to finish.

Introducing a tulip idea that results in a striking piece by curving the tips of the petals! After doing the “zabuton fold,” which gathers the corners of the origami to the center, fold it into a triangle twice, squash the pocket that forms, and return the paper to a square.

Fold the corners of the square on both sides to the center line, flip the paper so the folded parts are on the inside, and then fold the bottom edge slightly inward.

Cut the bottom corner of the origami and puff it out from the inside to complete the tulip flower.

Curve the tips of the petals for a three-dimensional finish, attach the stem and leaves, and you’re done.
