Sheet blanking
- Square. To begin with, you need to take a square sheet of enough soft paper of the color you need. If you have a standard sheet A4, then you can bend it diagonally, pressing the upper side to the side, and cut off the remainders.
- 16 squares. Now we need to divide our square into 16 more parts. To do this, bend the square twice, and then again twice. Expanding, you will see 3 lines. Now turn over the sheet and do the same on the other side to get a kind of grid of bends:
- Now bend the corners inwards so that they coincide with the inner corners of the corner squares:
- Turn the sheet over so that the bent corners are on the other side. Now bend one side of the square and press it to the far fold line. Repeat with each of the four sides:
- Now fold the sheet diagonally. Also on all four sides:
- When you have a triangle with cut corners, bend the vertex, which is the center of the whole figure, connecting it to the nearest line:
- Turn the square, leaving only the corners bent. Turn it over so that the bent corners are in your direction.
- Now align the side with the far line again and bend the bottom corner. Repeat with all parties:
- Now it is necessary to achieve a fold between the points shown:
Always repeat actions from all sides. - Now we need to achieve a fold between the blunt angle of the wrapped corner and its center:
- Again, turn the workpiece angles away from ourselves and make the last folds. It must be done between the middle of the wrapped corner and the vertex of the triangle on the adjacent side:
- Now check to see if all the lines you got are:
The preparation in how to make origami paper is completed.
Folding roses
- Turn the workpiece angles toward yourself and unfold it so that the corners are on top, bottom and sides. Bend the sheet downward, connecting the bent corners, and press on the central square:
- Now bend the left side of the fold and the others until you reach this result:
- Turn over the sheet and simultaneously add the four lines shown:
- Then add it as shown in the picture:
- Here's what you should end up with:
- We fill one layer of paper in another:
- Fold the corner, fixing the position:
- Turn the rose with sharp corners up:
- Twist the loose ends:
- Turn the rose petals up and twist them a little:
The rose is ready! You can add a leaf and a stem, make a few more and put them in a vase. This is an easy way how to make a paper origami rose. There is a more complicated one that you can find here.
