Hi i was wondering if someone could help with this cp as i have never folded one before, normally i would slug it out until i actually understood it but i need it by monday! as im making some kawasaki roses for my natural forms project for art and need a vase.

cp can be found here


original website here

1.) Print out the CP
2.) Cut along the bold lines
3.) Fold along the straight lines
4.) Take a knitting needle, toothpick or something like this and carefully press in the curved lines
5.) Collapse everything in place

I have a good deal of sympathy here, islandmassive: collapsing this is not easy. origami_8's idea of the knitting needle is not bad -- I usually pinch the curves in and then sharpen them with my thumbnail. De gustibus.

The important thing to realize with this CP is that the model is six-sided and that there are seven panels: that means you must wrap the last one over the first and then fold down the top and bottom flaps to lock the whole in place. (You can fold these flaps in half first, for a more elegant look.)

Good luck!
