Hey loves!
I have a quick room decor tutorial to share with you.
I'll show you how to make paper flowers.
We are going to make two different kinds of tulips, both unbelievably easy, but so adorable.
So go grab some paper and let's get started!
Our tulip consists of two parts, a bloom and a stem.
We need one piece of paper for each part.
First we are going to make a tulip bloom.
Take a square piece of paper with a side of about 10 centimeters or 4 inches.
Fold it along the diagonal to get a triangle.
We're doing this just to get a leading line.
Unfold the square and fold it along the other diagonal.
As you can see we have a vertical leading line along the middle of the triangle.
Use this line as an indicator and fold the right and left triangle corners upwards like
so.
You could just leave it like this or you can do one step more like me.
Flip the tulip around and fold a small piece of right and left corner inside.
This will give us that perfect tulip bloom shape.
Just turn your work around and there you have a beautiful tulip bloom!
I made an orange, yellow and a red one.
Now let's make a stem!
Take a square piece of paper, with a side of about 14 centimeters or 5 inches.
Notice how the piece of paper we are using for the stem needs to be bigger than the piece
we used for the bloom.
Fold the paper along the diagonal to get a big triangle and then unfold it.
Fold the bottom corner up towards the diagonal line like so.
Do the same with the upper corner.
Now fold the bottom part again, but this time you're folding the paper on the left side.
Repeat the step on the upper side.
Next, go back to the right side of your figure and fold the bottom corner up till the middle
line.
Do exactly the same with the upper corner.
Fold it down to the middle.
Next fold your shape in half, so the right corner meets the left one like this.
Lastly fold your work along like so, and then pull the thinner inside part out a bit.
And this is our cute tulip stem with a leaf.
To attach the bloom to the stem you need a small piece of tape or you can use a glue.
I'm going for the tape.
Place the tape on the upper part of the stem and then stick it on the back side of the
tulip bloom.
This is how you get a beautiful tulip, which can be used as a gorgeous spring room décor.
Tulips will stand on a flat surface so you can place them on your night stand, on the
window, anywhere you like.
I love how they brighten up the space and give the room that happy spring feel.
Now I will show you another version of the tulip bloom.
This one is 3 dimensional but still very easy to make.
Take a square piece of paper with a side of about 10 centimeters or 4 inches.
Fold it along one diagonal of the square, unfold, and then fold along the other diagonal.
Unfold the paper and flip it around.
Fold it upwards like so to get a rectangle and then unfold.
Turn the work for 90 degrees and then fold it again in half.
Unfold the paper and use the leading lines to fold the paper into a smaller square like
so.
I am turning the project for 90 degrees, just so that it's easier for me to fold the paper.
We now have two layers of paper.
Let's first work with the top layer.
Take a bottom corner and fold it up till the middle leading line.
Turn the project for 180 degrees and repeat.
Take the corner and fold it up.
Flip the work around and redo the same steps on the other side.
Take a bottom corner and fold it up till the middle leading line.
Turn the work for 180 degrees and repeat.
You should now have something like this.
Unfold all the corners to get these side leading lines.
Fold a corner up till the leading line and fold it again along the leading line.
Repeat this on all four corners.
Besides using these tulips as a room décor you can give them as a little present to your
mom, grandma or your best friend.
You will brighten the day of that person, guaranteed!
Or you know, if you've been naughty and forgot to get something to your mom on mother's day,
this little flower can be your savior.
Two pieces of paper and a couple of minutes is all you need.
And this is the shape you need to have so far.
Take scissors and cut a tiny piece of this corner.
This is where you will attach the bloom to the stem.
On the opposite side you have an opening.
With the help of your finger open the bloom like so.
Work carefully so you don't tear the paper and you should end up with a cool 3D bloom
like this one.
Roll the petals down slightly for an even more detailed look to your tulip.
Use the same stem as we made for the first tulip.
But instead of using a tape, just stick it into the opening on the bottom of the bloom.
And another version of origami tulip is complete!
You can place this cool 3D tulip on any flat surface to color up your room.
Let me know in the comments, which version you like best.
I must say the first one is my favorite.
I hope you're having an awesome day, stay happy and I will see you next time!
Bye.
Let's play a little game this time...
After watching this tutorial take two pieces of paper and make this cute flower for a person
close to you -- Mom would be a perfect choice.
When you come back please write in the comments what did the person you gave this cute flower
say.
I'm sure you will brighten their day and we would all love to read such comments!
