Origami Flower Paper Craft

Learn how to make an origami flower Kusudama! Follow these simple steps to create a beautiful, intricate paper flower ball for decoration or gifting.

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.
Take one sheet of paper and fold it in half diagonally to create a triangle. Make sure the colored side is facing outward.
Bring both bottom corners upward so they meet in the center, forming a diamond shape.
Fold both tips backward so they align with the outer edges, creating two pockets.
Press along the seam to flatten it, forming a kite shape, and then press it down firmly. Repeat the same on the other side.
Fold the top of each kite downward to create two triangles. Make sure the tops of the triangles align with the edge.
Take both sides and fold them in half towards the center.
Bring the two sides together so that the flaps touch, then glue them in place.
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.
