- Origami Tulip Flower – Step 1 Create a Triangle
Turn your square paper, so you have a diamond shape in front of you. Fold the paper UP across the diagonal to make a triangular shape.
- Shape the Tulip's Head
Fold down the centre of your triangle to create a "guide crease". Open up again. Now you know where the middle of your paper flower is. Let's begin with the left side. Take the left corner and fold up the sides at an angle to great a left flap. The previous fold will help guide you as to where the central line is. As per the image. These are the tulip's petals. Then repeat with the right corner/ right side. You now have made the basic petals of the tulip.
- Final details to the Origami Tulip's Head
Flip your paper over and fold in the sides to shape your paper tulip! The basic origami flower is finished. Now for a stem.
- How to make a stem
The video shared in this blogpost shows you how to make an ORIGAMI stem. However, you can also choose this other rolled up paper straw method.
Take the green paper and start rolling it up diagonally. Using a tooth pick or a thin paint brush to get it going should help. Secure with a little glue.Cut a snip into the bottom of the tulip head and insert. Finished. If making the origami stem version, your tulip will be able to stand too and will have leaves (watch the video on auto play for this part of the tutorial)!
