The all-time favourite, the origami rose

The origami rose is an all-time favourite and it's creation is truly ingenious. But one thing I didn't like about the origami rose is it's hollowness. So I tried modifying it and added a stalk to it. Make a single stalk or an entire bouquet!

The origami rose is an all-time favourite and it's creation is truly ingenious. But one thing I didn't like about the origami rose is it's hollowness. So I tried modifying it and added a stalk to it. Make a single stalk or an entire bouquet!

Instructions

  1. Small 17343

    Create the origami rose from the instructions available here: http://www.origami-fun.com/origami-rose.html It can be quite difficult to follow initially, but with more practise it will turn out better.

  2. Small 17338

    Get a short length of green wire or any wire wrapped with green floral tape. Make a loop at one end using a pair of pliers.

  3. Small 17339

    Wrap some Blue Tack around the loop. The amount of Blue Tack should be just enough to fit into the rose to make a sturdy rose.

  4. Small 17340

    Cut a smaller square piece of origami paper (with the same colour as the rose) and poke through the centre with the wire. Wrap the paper around the Blue Tack.

  5. Small 17341

    Then fit the top of the wire into the hollow rose. Adjust the amount of Blue Tack until desired result. Apply some glue to secure the wire and Blue Tack with the hollow insides of the origami rose.

  6. Small 17342

    And a sturdy origami rose is done!
