Origami is a traditional Japanese art of paper folding. It is a fun and relaxing activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. One of the most popular origami designs is the sunflower. In this tutorial, we will teach you how to make a simple origami sunflower in just a few easy steps.
Materials Needed
To make a simple origami sunflower, you will need a square piece of paper. You can use any size of paper, but we recommend using a 6-inch square paper. You can also use patterned or textured paper to make your sunflower more unique.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Start with a square piece of paper with the colored side facing up. Fold it in half diagonally to make a crease. Unfold it and fold it in half diagonally in the opposite direction to make another crease. Unfold it again.
Step 2
Fold the paper in half vertically and horizontally to make creases. Unfold it again.
Step 3
Fold the top layer of the paper along the creases to make a triangle. Repeat this for all four corners of the paper.
Step 4
Fold the right corner of the paper towards the center crease. Repeat this for the left corner of the paper.
Step 5
Fold the bottom corner of the paper towards the top of the paper. Repeat this for all four corners of the paper.
Step 6
Tuck the flaps of the paper under the folds you just made. This will create a diamond shape.
Step 7
Fold the right and left corners of the diamond towards the center crease. This will create a smaller diamond shape.
Step 8
Fold the top and bottom corners of the diamond towards the center crease. This will create a smaller diamond shape.
Step 9
Fold the top layer of the paper down along the crease. This will create a small triangle.
Step 10
Fold the sides of the triangle towards the center crease. This will create the petals of the sunflower.
