ORIGAMI FIREWORKS FLOWER
I've used yellow and blue papers for the flowers in this arrangement. I made a tiny arrangement
here, but if you like a larger bouquet, you can just make it larger then I did.
Step 1:
The yellow and blue papers are for the flowers.
The size of these papers is 3,5x3,5 inch or 9x9 centimeters.
The green paper is for the leaves and the size of it is
2,5x2,5 inch or 6,5x6,5 centimeters.
Step 2:
This paper is for a flower, turn the paper.
Step 3:
Make mountain-and valley-folds over these 4 lines.
Unfold each fold after you've made one.
Step 4:
First, make a valley-fold over the 2 lines below, on the right.
Then, make a mountain-fold over the 2 lines in the middle.
And make a valley-fold over the 2 lines on top, on the left.
Now you get a basic-shape.
Step 5:
Fold the piece below the green line upwards by making
a valley-fold over this green line.
Do the same as above on the backside of the model.
Step 6:
Fold the piece on the right of the green line to the left
by making a valley-fold over this green line (=bookfold).
Do the same on the backside of the model.
Step 7:
Fold the piece below the green line upwards by making
a valley-fold over this green line.
Do the same on the backside of the model.
Step 8:
Make an inside reverse fold over the 3 short green lines.
Do this by making a mountain-fold over the line in the middle
and a valley-fold over the other 2 lines.
You actually just pull the end indicated by the upper arrow
a bit downwards when you make these folds.
The 2 ends indicated by the arrows below are pulled a bit
towards each other by making these folds.
Step 9:
Repeat step 8 on the 3 other same pieces of the model,
see the pink arrows.
Step 10:
Fold the piece indicated by the arrow a bit to the right by
making a mountain-fold over the green line.
Do the same on the other 3 same pieces of the model.
Step 11:
Insert a finger in the opening indicated by the upper arrow
and press with another finger on the bottom of the petal,
see the arrow below, to make it a little more flat.
Do the same as above on the other 3 petals.
Step 12:
One flower is done...
I've made 2 blue and 2 yellow flowers.
For one yellow flower I've turned the paper upside down
in step 3, so it looks a little different from the other yellow
flower.
Step 13:
Make about 8 or 10 of these leaves.

For this leaf, I've made less folds then in step 5 of these
instructions, because this one is smaller then the one in
the instructions.
Step 14:
Click here for instructions to make the stems
If your stem is to thick, just fold it in half over the length
to make it thinner
Step 15:
The stem on the left is 5 inch or 12 centimeters long and
the stem on the right is about 2 inch or 5 centimeters long.
Add glue to the bottom of the stem on the right and glue it
to the longer stem on the left, on the place indicated by the
arrow on the left.
Step 16:
Add glue to the 2 ends of the stem and glue the bottoms
of the 2 flowers to these ends.
The arrow on the right indicates the bottom of a flower.
Step 17:
Now, make 2 short stems of about 2 and 3 inch long or
5 and 7 centimeters and glue the yellow flowers to these stems.
You don't have to glue these 2 shorters stems together, they
stay loose from each other.
Step 18:
The pot I've used for this arrangement is just 3 inch or
7 centimeters in height. I've filled the pot with foam.
First, I've placed the stems with flowers in the foam and
later I've added the leaves. This picture shows how the
leaves are arranged. Some leaves are placed in the foam and
others are glued to the bottom of a stem.
The origami fireworks flower is ready!
