Fold a traditional origami flower with 8 petals using 1 sheet of square paper. This easy origami flower is perfect to make a bouquet of paper flowers.
You can also stand this flower up with the stem. The stem is quite short, but you can pop it in a straw or attach it to other types of stems.
I think this is my favourite traditional origami flower, I have a free diagram for this origami flower here (further down the page).
I’m not sure what type of flower this is meant to be, maybe it’s a daisy, a cosmos or just a general flower. I made a lot of these little flowers and made them as part of an origami flower pot arrangement (tutorial here).
Design: Traditional
Level: ★★☆☆☆
You will need:
▸ 1 sheet of square paper. Paper size example: 15 x 15 cm

I can’t seem to get my petals to look round, any tips or just practice? 🙂
The folding at around 6:30 in the video are what give a rounded look, the paper type you use can also affect this, thicker paper may give a better result 🙂
