The Origami Forum

Hello all,

I have a question about how to make something I have only seen once and only from one photo. I am new to origami folding and am planing to make all my flowers for my wedding from paper. I had already figured out what I wanted to do when I came across this image on a photographer's website and fell in love. Being that I couldn't contact anyone related (because the photographer wouldn't know and wouldn't give out the client's contact info), I am searching for experienced people who may be able to help by just looking at the photo.

I have some understanding of what I have to do, but I can not figure out the shape the paper needs to be to get the points to fold correctly into the center? And I can not get the corners to be as "rounded" as the image's. Any help would be amazing as this is something special I want to do for my wedding! If someone can give me a step-by-step or a link to where they have come across this?

I don't know how to fold that, but this site http://www.origamee.net/index.html has many similar designs.

Thank you for the link! Lots of neat designs on there.

This however, I think, this is just a simple flower within a flower and then each is attached to a floral foam ball with glue and decorative pearl pin. (all assumed and how I would assemble anyways)

So really I am just looking for how to fold the flower, not how to create a modular ball.

Is something like this what you're looking for? You can get rid of the leaves-just start with a square and fold the center rose from it.

Jonnycakes - that IS pretty darn close! I will test that out and see how it goes with removing all the leaves or finding a way without the leaves. I also contacted the person who made the video as well. Thank you!

Anyone else have a quicker version is welcome still!!

So that actually worked really well. I am still just trying to work out the details - the folds that tuck still look like crap, but I was able to figure out how to make it without the leaves. So thank you very much for the link!!

No problem. I'm glad you were able to figure it out!
