Learn how to make a pretty origami flower bowl, dish or plate, you can customise the base of this bowl, to make it wider at the bottom. It’s great to display jewellery, nicknacks or serve candies & snacks.
It would be a great way to serve Mochi or cupcakes. I like the fact that you can use paper with the colour or pattern only on one side. Because when it’s complete you don’t see the white side. ?
This origami serving dish works best with paper thats a bit thicker or has a texture. Even though you have to cut the square to be a pentagon, and fold the bowl in on itself, you get a surprisingly big bowl.
I think you could get great results by lacquering this origami flower bowl; therefore you could also use PVA glue, and maybe even cover in a layer of Papier-mâché!
Design: Paper Kawaii (based on the traditional origami bell flower).

Hi, I don’t know if you’ve done a tutorial on this Eight Pointed Transforming Ninja Star, but this website does a terrible tutorial that I know you could improve on vastly! -url removed-
Hi Carol, I would except I’m pretty sure the transforming ninja star design belongs to Robert Neale 🙂
Hi Ms. Chrissy,
I am going to hold a small origami session among
my officemates. Too bad I can’t view the videos because Youtube is
blocked from my system. Do you happen to have any picture tutorials that
I could study?
Thanks! 🙂
What if I use bigger size of paper?? How can I do this?
Yes use bigger paper, just make sure it is square to start 🙂 Follow the same steps 😀
Got lost on 8.45… where on earth did that crease fold came from without the the pre-crease lines?
Sorry I’m not sure what you mean, the first part of the video is pre-creasing the bowl and at that point you open it out and re-assemble whilst sinking the creases you made just before that 🙂
Got lost on 8.45…
