The Origami Forum

Hmmm... Ok, well basically, I have a video of someone making the stem and leaf of a flower. However, the video quality is quite poor and I really can't follow it all. I was hoping that one of the experts around here might take a look and see if they can make sense of it and then help me out. ^^; (I actually found a thread in here which mentions the videos I'm using, but no help is really given. Plus the thread is a million years old so I thought it was better to start fresh and address this problem specifically).

Anyways, here's the 'stem and leaf' video I'm having trouble with:

Annnd here's the actual flower part (I've managed to make this myself, but just in case anyone is interested):

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Yes the video is rather dark but it's a very simple fold. I should be able to throw together a picture diagram sometime today or tomorrow. Basically the leaf is a 4:1 strip of paper and you are going to do a reverse fold at one end and then fold the rest of the length of paper somewhat underneath this to create a pointed flap...Sorry I'm not very good at explaining- just wait for the pics.

sorry about the delay i've been swamped at work lately. Is another video ok? I tried doing a photo diagram but it's kind of hard to understand so I think a well lit video will be more comprehensive.
