ORIGAMI IRIS
Both sides of this paper are coloured. The backside is completely blue.
Step 1:
Prefold over these 4 lines.
Then, turn the paper.
Step 2:
Make a valley-fold over these 4 lines.
Step 3:
Turn the model.
Step 4:
Make these folds from the edge of the
model
to the center, not any further.
First, make 2 valley-folds below, on the
right. Then, make
2 mountain-folds in the middle. And make
2 valley-folds
on the top left.
Step 5:
Pull the piece indicated by the arrow
upwards by
making a valley-fold over the yellow
line.
Step 6:
Press the 2 layers indicated by the
smaller arrows
against each other. Then press the loose
piece flat
from above with your other hand, see
large arrow.
Step 7:
Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Step 8:
Unfold the folds from step 7
Step 9:
Pull the edge indicated by the arrow
upwards by making
a valley-fold over the yellow line.
Step 10:
Press the edges indicated by the arrows
flat from above.
Step 11:
Fold the triangular piece above the
yellow line downwards
by making a valley-fold over this line.
Step 12:
Repeat step 6 to 11 on the other 3 loose
pieces, see arrows.
Step 13:
Pull the 2 petals at the
bottom of each arrow outwards,
in the direction of these arrows.
Step 14:
Fold the triangular piece
above the yellow line to the inside
of the model by making a mountain-fold
over this line.
Step 15:
Press the 2 petals towards
each other again, in the direction
of the arrows.
Step 16:
Now the model is closed again.
Repeat step 13 to 15 on the other 3
triangular pieces.
Step 17:
Push the 2 pieces indicated by the
arrows towards each
other by making a valley-fold over the
yellow line.
Step 18:
Pull the upper layer of paper loose from
the rest of the
model at the places indicated by the 2
arrows.
Step 19:
Make a valley-fold over these lines, all
lines are prefolded.
Step 20:
Now you've made an extra petal. Fold
this petal upwards
by making a valley-fold over the yellow
line.
Repeat steps 17 to 20 on two other same
pieces of the model.
(you don't have to do anything with the
4th same piece)
Step 21:
Turn the model.
Step 22:
Fold the piece on the right of the
yellow line to the left
by making a valley-fold over this line
(=bookfold)
Step 23:
The model has 7 petals now: 4 petals are
made of more
layers then the other 3.
Fold this petal downwards by making a
valley-fold
over the
yellow line. Make sure this is a petal
with more paper-layers.
Now the model has 6 petals that stand
upwards. The 3
petals
which are made of the least paper layers
will be on
the inside
of the flower.
Step 24:
Fold the petal indicated by the arrow
downwards by making
a valley-fold over the line below and a
mountain-fold over
the upper line. (The line below is
already prefolded).
Make the same folds on the other side of
the petal.
Make sure this is a petal with more
paper-layers.
Step 25:
Press the petal a little further
downwards, in the direction
of the arrow.
Step 26:
Repeat step 24 and 25 on the other 2
petals with more
paper-layers.
Step 27:
The 3 petals that still stand upwards
are made of the least
layers of paper.
Repeat step 24 on this petal (not step
25!)
Step 28:
And repeat step 24 on the other 2
petals, see arrows.
Step 29:
Make a mountain-fold on the tip of this
petal (with less
paper-layers), see short yellow line.
Step 30:
And make a mountain-fold over this short
line.
Make sure the end of this petal stands
outwards, not
downwards, when you make this fold.
Step 31:
Repeat step 29 and 30 on the other 2
petals with less
paper layers, see arrows.
Step 32:
Make an inside reverse fold over the 3
short yellow lines
on the right, see large arrow. Do this
by making a
valley-fold over the longer line in the
middle and a
mountain-fold
over the 2 shorter lines.
Make the same folds on the 2 other outer
petals, see
smaller
arrows on the left.
Done!
