Collagami Flowers

Collagami paper is great for paper folding and orgiami. Its double-sided nature makes it perfect for flowers!

Step 1

Using square paper of any size such as the Collagami paper, fold the paper on the diagonal.

Step 2

Whilst still folded, fold one point up into the right angle corner.

Step 3

Repeat with the other point so the sides meet in the middle to transform the paper into a square.

Step 4

Fold each panel back on itself towards the outer edge.

Step 5

Slip your finger into this triangle, lifting up the point and opening it out so it becomes a mirror image of itself, then flatten it. Do this for both sides, so your paper reflects the image shown

Step 6

Fold the two triangles hanging over the edge back in on themselves.

Step 7

Next, fold these outer triangles in on themselves (in half) so the overall paper shape now looks like a square again

Step 8

Bring these panels together and join either with Supertac, hot glue, or a staple. You have now completed one petal.

Repeat this six times and glue all of the petals together to make a flower.

Step 9

Thread the florist wire up through the centre of the flower and through the holes in a button, then back down through the centre of the flower, to create the stem, twisting the wire as you go.

Extension Ideas
