Learn to fold a pretty Origami Sakura Star designed by Ali Bahmani. This origami flower is made starting with 1 sheet of square paper made into a pentagon. Pretty on it’s own or attach to greetings cards and other DIY projects.
This origami flower or star is very unique as it can be predominantly a star or a flower depending on which angle you display it at. So in addition to this being very pretty, it’s also a very satisfying model to complete.
While this is an intermediate to advanced level, if you have some patience you will be able to fold it.
I decided not to speed up most of the repetitive steps of this origami star flower, you can choose to speed up or slow down the video by clicking the ⚙ gear icon and selecting the speed you like best. It’s probably a good idea to pause the video after each step and play again once you have completed it.

I’m a beginner and don’t know the names of every fold🫠
I found that the confusion started at 8:28. Even with slowing it down, it was still confusing. 🙁 Maybe it was partly that her hand was in the way and I myself am just an amateur folder.
This is so confusing…her hand is always in the way and idk how we’re meant to easily follow the steps without replaying this thing 100 times.
I don’t know if she could’ve made some parts more confusing wit her hand in the way and all.
Wow! I started with scratch paper for practice. It was a bit frustrating at times but I got it done! Very impressed, especially how easy the end was to put together! I used the tip of a mechanical pencil to tuck the edges in.
where is the video?
The part when she folds it into the ninja star shape is kinda tricky, and a little frustrating. Can you make another video that shows the step by step version? Another suggestion is to type down or use an audio recording of the procedure, I believe that origami should be relaxing and not frustrating so please make an easier to understand foundation.
Thank you!
How do u do the last bit in the center? Her hand was in the way throughout the entire last bit
my favourite origami tutorial from paperkawaii. thank you~
Amazing. I’ll use 5*5 cm paper to make assorted jewelry for my sister’s wedding! 🙂 too bad the paper is too thick to complete the beautiful pattern at the center. With some training maybe… Thanks for the video anyway, I’ve been browsing this website a lot the last few days, it is really amazing.
