Origami is the oldest Japanese art of paper-plastic, familiar to us since childhood. Even as a junior schoolchild, each of us with pleasure folded frogs, airplanes, boats out of paper, only then we did not know that this hobby had such a beautiful name - origami. A tulip is a more complicated model, but who didn’t give it to mom for a spring holiday? Painstakingly, diligently folding colored leaves along the fold lines, we knew that this would be one of the most expensive gifts for the dearest person, because it would be made by hand.

Today we invite you to plunge into childhood and remember the "tulip" origami pattern.

  1. Fold a square piece of paper twice diagonally and once in half. According to the resulting folds, "pack" the corners into pockets so that you get the basic model of a triangle.
  2. Fold the corners to the top on both sides of the triangle to make a diamond.
  3. Turn the model over so that the edges of the diamond look down. Bend the right corner, slightly going beyond the middle, and insert into itleft. Repeat the same on the other side.
  4. "Inflate" the bud through the hole below and bend the corners of the flower.

Another way to create a flower is to assemble it from modules. Modular origami "tulip" requires a longer time, since it will take 105 basic triangular modules to make it. Basic triangular modules are made up of rectangular sheets of paper, the aspect ratio of which is 2 to 1, according to the simple scheme below.

Having made the required number of basic elements, let's start assembling our tulip.

  1. Connect the two modules with the third, as shown in the diagram. In this case, the left modules will form the first row, and the right - the second row of the flower. When the number of modules in the rows reaches four, you should start assembling the third row.
  2. Close the modules into a circle (there should be 15 pieces in each row) and, carefully holding, turn it inside out so that the short ends of the modules look outward.
  3. Complete the model with 2 more rows of 15 pieces.
  4. The bud is almost ready, it remains to form the petals. To do this, you need to put on the modules, gradually reducing them: 4-3-2-1. Repeat assembling the next petal, skipping 2 corners of the bud.

For the manufacture of the stem, we will use the usual cocktail straw. Lubricate it with glue and wrap it with a strip of green paper. Toto make a sheet, use a sheet of paper with sides of 15 cm.

  1. Fold the edges from the corner to the middle, doing this from two opposite sides.
  2. Repeat the folds again.
  3. Carefully smooth out the fold lines and turn the workpiece over, use a pencil to give it the desired curved look - the sheet is ready. It remains only to glue it to our stem.

Insert the stem into the flower, after thickening it with a piece of paper glued to the tip so that it does not fall out of the flower.

Our flower is ready!
