ORIGAMI ANTHURIUM FLOWER
These are instructions for making an origami anthurium. I made a tiny
arrangement here,
but it can be made much bigger too, if you like.
Step 1:
This paper is
for a flower, both sides are colored.
The size is 3,5x3,5 inch or 8,5x8,5 centimeters. Turn the paper.
Step 2:
Make a
valley-fold over this line. Unfold it after you've made the fold.
Step 3:
Make a
valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Step 4:
Fold the 2
corners on the left of the yellow lines to the right by making a
valley-fold over these 2 yellow lines.
Step 5:
Make a
valley-fold over this line. Make this fold over all layers of the
model. Unfold this fold after you've made it.
Step 6:
Make a
valley-fold over these 2 lines. The edge on the right of these 2
lines stands upwards after you've made these folds, see the picture
of step 7.
Step 7:
Repeat step 6
over these 2 lines.
Step 8:
Now the model
looks like this. Turn the model.
Step 9:
Make a
valley-fold over the 3 lines on the right and a mountain-fold over
the line on the left (at the arrow). Push the piece at the arrow to
the right while you are making these folds.
Step 10:
Here a part of
the folds from step 9 is already done. Push the piece at the arrow a
little further to the right and finish the valley-fold over the
yellow line.
Step 11:
Now the model
looks like this.
Step 12:
Hold the model
in one hand, the same as I do in this picture, with the flower-part
on the table. Push the model flat from above (see arrows) with your
other hand.
Step 13:
Now you have
some flower veins on your model, because of the pushing and
flattening in step 12. Make a mountain-fold over the 2 yellow lines
and fold the top of the stamen (see arrow) downwards.
Step 14:
One flower is
done...
Make 3 of these flowers for one complete arrangement.
Step 17:
The top of this
stem is folded downwards, see arrow on the right. Add a little glue
to this piece (at the arrow on the right) and glue it to the
backside of the flower on the place indicated by the arrow on the
left.
Step 18:
I've bended the
stem on several places to make it look more natural.
Make 3 of these stems with one flower attached to it.
Step 19:
This picture
shows how the flowers and leaves are arranged. The pot is 3 inch or
7 centimeters in height and I've filled it with foam. The stems of
the flowers and leaves are inserted in the foam.
Done!
