Step 2:
First,

over the 2 diagonal lines in the middle. And valley-fold over the 2
lines at the top left.
Step 4:
Squash-fold
the flap.

Step 3:

the ends at the bottom/back of the 2 arrows outwards, in the
direction of these 2 arrows.


Step 8:

Step 12:
Push
the 2 ends towards each other again
Step 11:
Mountain-fold
the triangular flap to the inside of the model
Step 14:
Bookfold
one layer to the left



Step 13:
Repeat
steps 4 to 12 on the other 3 flaps


Step 21:
Make
an inside reverse fold over these two sets of three lines.
Step 19:
Repeat
step 18 on the other 7 corners
Step 20:
Now
all eight corners are folded inwards
Step 18:
Push
the corner inwards by making an inside reverse fold over these 3
lines
Step 17:
Valley-fold
the corner indicated by the arrow upwards. Then open the corner a
little.



Step 22:
And
the pink side of the paper is revealed. Repeat step 21 on the other
three petals
Step 28:
Valley-fold
over these 2 lines
Step 25:
Curl
the 4 petals by rolling them up with your fingers. Turn the model
afterwards.
Step 26:
Make
enough flowers for one complete Bonsai plant
Step 24:
Valley-fold
in half over this line
Step 23:
Push
the bottom flat from above and below, see arrows



Step 29:
Valley-fold
over these 2 lines
Step 27:
This
paper is for the leaves. Prefold in half over this line

Step 30:
Valley-fold
over these 2 lines
Step 31:
Valley-fold
over the upper line and mountain-fold over the line below
Step 32:
Valley-fold
over these 2 lines

Step 33:
Push/press
the edges/places indicated by the 4 arrows downwards
Step 35:
Mountain-fold
over this line. Then push the stem a little to the left, see arrow

Step 34:
Fold
over these 3 lines, then turn the model



Step 36:
Make
enough leaves for one complete plant
Step 37:
I
used two different size papers for the stems. Valley-fold in half



Step 38:
Valley-fold
in half
Step 39:
Valley-fold
in half
Step 40:
Valley-fold
in half
Step 41:
Curl/curve
the stems. All stems are curled/curved in one direction, see final
picture

Step 42:
Glue
the tip of the flowers inside a stem, also in some smaller stems.
Step 43:
Glue
the leaves to the stems or inside the open edge of a stem, see arrow
below. Most leaves are glued in pairs, like I do here.
Step 44:
The
end of the stem on the left is glued to the main-stem later
Step 45:
I
glued two papers together for the main-stem. Make a large paper ball
of it.
Step 46:
Unfold
or uncrumple
Step 47:
Place
a strong metal/florist wire on the paper. Then roll the paper up
diagonal, see arrow.
Step 48:
Roll
it up further
Step 49:
Add
glue to the tip and roll it up completely, see arrow
Step 51:
Bend
the stem in the direction of the arrows
Step 50:
Press
the top of the main-stem inwards from all angles, see arrows

Step 52:
Press
the stem downwards on the place indicated by the arrow


The arrow below shows
where the main-stem is pushed downwards. The upper arrow shows a
stem which I glued to the top of the main-stem. The two oval shapes
show how I arranged the plant. The stem on the right in the large
oval only has leaves on it.
The main-stem is placed in a pot filled with florist foam or large
paper balls. Smaller paper balls (sand) are covering the foam or
large paper balls. All flowers are hanging downwards or aside. Most
leaves are facing upwards.
I don't have a Bonsai Fuchsia video, but a tutorial for a normal
Origami Fuchsia which has the same flowers:
