ORIGAMI CATTAIL
This cattail is nice for adding to
another flower-arrangement, the last picture on this
page
is an example for an arrangement where I've used these cattails.
Step
1:
You'll need this for making one complete
cattail with stem.
The metal wire on the left is for making
the stem stronger.
Step
2:
The backside of this paper is completely
white.
Roll the paper up with the white part of
the paper
on the inside of the tube.
Step
3:
Hold the model the same as I do in this
picture.
Press the top of the model flat from all
angels, see arrows.
Then, rotate this part of the model a
little bit, so the model
won't open by itself anymore.
Step
4:
Now the model looks like this.
Turn the model upside-down.
Step
5:
Press a piece of the edge inwards, see
arrow.
Step
6:
Press the edge inwards on more places,
see arrows.
Step
7:
Now the top of the model is closed.
Step
8:
This part of the cattail is ready...
Step
9:
You'll need this for making the stem.

here for diagrams to make a stem
If your stem is to thick, just fold it
in half over the length
one more time.
Step
10:
Add a little glue to the piece indicated
by the arrow on the
right and glue it to the top of the
stem, see arrow on the
left.
The cattail is ready!
I used a few of these cattails for this
arrangement
with cute origami primroses.
