How about making sunflower kirigami out of origami paper? Kirigami is a fun craft that lets you enjoy the surprise and excitement when you unfold it.

Fold a sheet of yellow origami paper twice to make a square, and once more to make a triangle.

Fold it in half again, then use a pencil to draw the shapes and patterns of the petals.

Cut along the lines you drew with scissors, punch some holes with a hole punch, and then unfold it.

Thinking about what shape it will become as you cut—only to open it and find something completely different!—is one of the real pleasures of kirigami.

Be sure to add your favorite patterns and try making your very own original sunflower.

With a single sheet of origami paper, you can make everything from the sunflower’s bloom to its stem and leaves! First, fold the paper in half vertically with the colored side facing inward.

Next, draw half of a sunflower—from the flower through the stem and leaves—on the paper.

Then simply cut along the lines you drew! By adding fine slits, you can show the border between the yellow petals and the brown center, as well as the veins on the leaves.

Adorably decorative! Sunflower origamiNEW!

There are many ways to fold an origami sunflower, from simple methods to more elaborate ones.

Among them, this sunflower stands out with beautiful three-dimensionality and distinctive petals.

Fold a sheet of double-sided yellow-and-brown origami paper in half horizontally, then fold it in half again.

Bring all four corners to the center where the creases intersect to make a blintz fold.

Flip it over, make horizontal half-fold creases on each side, then blintz fold again and continue folding using the crease lines as guides.

Some steps are a bit complex, so this is suitable for those who want to try a more intricate folding method.

The key is to make crisp creases.

Carefully folding along the crease lines will give you a neat finish.

Let’s make a sunflower using two sheets of origami paper.

Attach a yellow square sheet of origami paper to a brown sheet cut into quarters.

Fold each of the four corners toward the center.

Fold along the diagonal in half, then fold in half again, and gently squash-fold as you open it.

Repeat the same steps for the remaining sections.

While folding the creased parts downward, open them to form the base of the flower shape.

Finally, open it gently to finish your sunflower.

You managed to make the sunflower, but something feels missing… In that case, how about adding fresh, lively green leaves? Choose origami paper sized to match the sunflower you made.

First, fold the paper in half with the colored side on the inside, then fold one end up toward the center.

From that same end, fold twice toward the opposite end so it becomes rectangular, creating a long, narrow strip.

Open it back up to the point where you first made the triangular fold, then use the creases you made to accordion-fold it, and open it again up to that initial triangle.

Fold the center into a long, narrow strip, spread it out using that crease as the axis, and lightly fold the top and bottom corners to the back to finish.

It keeps spinning and won’t stop! Sunflower spinning topNEW!

A sunflower spinning top that’s not only for display but also fun to play with is sure to delight children! First, with yellow origami, aim to make two boat shapes.

From there, form diamonds at the four corners, then fold the newly formed central corners outward and the diamond corners inward to complete the sunflower petals.

For the sunflower’s center, first crease vertical and diagonal “X” lines, then fold three times toward the center from each of the four corners along those creases, and finally fold the gathered central corners outward.

Make the top’s spindle using a separate sheet of brown origami, fit each piece into the yellow petal origami, and you’re done! Put your finger in the center and spin it around to play.

You’ve finished the yellow petals of the sunflower, but aren’t sure what to do for the brown center? This will help! Prepare a sheet of brown origami paper.

First, fold it in half into a square twice, then unfold to make crease lines.

Fold each corner toward the central crease, then fold toward the center two more times to form a small square.

After that, just draw a grid pattern and you’re done! Combine it with the yellow sunflower petals you made separately from origami, or with a drawing of a sunflower that has only the petals.
