Expert Answer

Origami paper, designed specifically for origami, has a thinner consistency than printer paper, making it an excellent option if you have it on hand. However, if origami paper is not accessible, using printer paper is a viable alternative. The beauty of origami lies in its simplicity, transforming a piece of paper into a work of art with minimal materials.

Expert Answer

So for crafting a simple paper flower, you can start by taking a piece of paper and holding it in a diamond shape, with the points facing up and down. Then, fold the top edge of the diamond down to the bottom edge. The subsequent steps might be a bit intricate to describe, but essentially, you need to manipulate the base of the resulting triangle, ensuring the longest edge is at the bottom. Holding the tip of the triangle on top, fold the bottom right corner up and the other corner across, creating a flower-like shape. You can experiment with different angles for the petals, and precision is not crucial; there's no need for geometric precision.

Question

Can I use construction paper instead of origami paper?

Community Answer

You could, only it would be harder to fold and and it might look a bit messy.

Question

Why are there so many folds?

Community Answer

Because it's a complicated thing to make out of a piece of paper. If you want to make a simpler one, you can try the one linked to in the introduction, but it isn't as impressive.

Question

How can I ensure no air will flow out of the hole of the stem?

Community Answer

The air stays in and will only come out if the whole tulip is crushed and ruined.

Question

Do I need to use the stem, if I already made the hole?

Community Answer

That is optional. You may or may not use a stem. The stem is used for decorative purposes.

Question

Can this be done without scissors?

Community Answer

Yes. When you make a fold along the line you need to cut, press hard along the fold. Now you can tear the fold apart. If you want to be sure not to tear past the fold, use a ruler.

Question

Can you explain 7?

Community Answer

Place the paper so it looks like a square, so the creases going from side to side are pointing up. Take the left and right sides and push them inward, then downward, then flatten. Make sure that when you flatten, the side-to-side creases are going in.
