How to Make Origami Rose in Bloom

Materials

• Colored craft paper
• No tools required

But, in case you do not have a square sheet of paper, you will need a ruler and pencil to trace the square and a pair of scissors to cut out the square sheet.

Folding Instructions 

Step 1: Base Creases

Take the square paper and fold the paper into half from both sides to create criss-cross creases. Flip the paper to the other side and fold the paper in half diagonally from both sides again to create diagonal criss-cross creases on the square paper.

Step 2: The Star Fold

Fold up the diagonal creases and fold the vertical-horizontal creases inwards, this will form a 4 point star pattern.

Step 3: Flattening the Star

Join the adjacent parts of the 4 point star pattern and then flatten the pattern.

Step 4: Fold-Up Bottom Corners

Fold up the bottom corners and join them with the top corner of the current pattern (triangle).

Step 5: Open Corner Pocket

The parts we folded up in the previous step should have pockets on the inner sides. Carefully open the pocket of any one of the sides.

Step 6: Flatten the Corner

Open the pocket as much as you can and then join the corner (the top corner) with the bottom-middle part of teh current pattern. Flatten the pocket with the pattern and it’ll form a square part.

Step 7: Flatten the Other Side

Similarly, open the pocket and flatten it with the current pattern.

Step 8: Fold-Up 3 Inner Corners

Fold up and join the 2 inner-bottom corners to the opposite (diagionally) corners of each square parts. Half-fold and join the bottom corner of the middle part to its opposite corner.

Step 9: Fold the Opposite Side

Turn the current pattern to the other side and similarly fold the other side.

Step 10: Turn the Flaps

The current pattern should have 2 flaps on each side (left and right). Now simply flip and join the flaps with their opposite flap. To be more precise, join the top left flap with the top right flap and then join the bottom left flap with the bottom right flap.

Step 11: Fold-In the Outer Corners

Fold the bottom side corners up.

Step 12: Fold-Up the Bottom Half

Fold up the bottom corner of the middle part.

Step 13: Fold the Other Side

Now, turn the current pattern to the other side and similarly, make the 3 corner folds.

Step 14: The Bottom Side

Hold the current pattern in your hand and bring the bottom side to the front. carefully open the bottom side.

Step 15: Flatten the Bottom Side

Continue to open the bottom pattern until it is completely flat.

Step 16: Hold the Cross-Cross Pattern

Now, turn the pattern to the other side. This side should have a pinty criss-cross pattern. Place 1 finger between every 2 layers.

Step 17: Twist the Criss-Cross Pattern

Now carefully twist the pattern clock-wise. While twisting the pattern make sure to hold the flat bottom end of the pattern firmly with your other hand.

Step 18: Twist Until A Rose-Like Pattern is Formed

Keep twisting until the origami rose is in full bloom. Once twisted firmly, the twist usually stays like that. But after making the twist, it is safe to arrange the layers with teh tip of your fingers. Just make sure not to pull any part too hard.

The first rose may not turn out to as nice, but that is totally fine. Grab a few more colored craft papers and practice making origami rose in bloom craft.
