Origami is one of our favorite crafts, and it’s easy to see why. The simple act of folding paper can transform it into something extraordinary, blending creativity and precision into a timeless art form. Rooted in Japanese tradition, origami has fascinated people for centuries with its graceful designs.
But origami is more than just beautiful creations—it’s also a relaxing activity. It can help reduce stress, improve hand-eye coordination, and spark creativity while teaching patience and focus.
This project is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the art of aper folding.

Instructions: Origami Flower Paper Craft
Step 1: First, select your paper. You will need five square sheets for each flower, as each piece will form a petal. I cut out 7×7-inch squares.
Step 2: Take one sheet of paper and fold it in half diagonally to create a triangle. Make sure the colored side is facing outward.
Step 3: Bring both bottom corners upward so they meet in the center, forming a diamond shape.
Step 4: Fold both tips backward so they align with the outer edges, creating two pockets.
Step 5: Press along the seam to flatten it, forming a kite shape, and then press it down firmly. Repeat the same on the other side.
Step 6: Fold the top of each kite downward to create two triangles. Make sure the tops of the triangles align with the edge.
Step 7: Take both sides and fold them in half towards the center.
Step 8: Bring the two sides together so that the flaps touch, then glue them in place.
Step 9: This way, we have our first petal. Repeat the previous steps until you have 5 petals, and then glue them together at the sides to form the flower.
The result will be your origami flowers.
And that’s it. Let us know what you think about this project.
