Step 1Begin with a square piece of paper and fold diagonally to create a triangle.
Now, fold one bottom corner to the other and crease approximately 2cm to create a point of reference in the middle. -
Step 2Next, fold the bottom corners to the middle and crease approximately 2 cm.
-
Step 3* You should now have three evenly spaced creased along the bottom of the triangle.
-
Step 4Take the left corner and fold it up to the top point (crease 2 cm) and unfold.
Now, take the same corner and fold it to the newly created middle crease.
Repeat the last step, using the top point of the triangle and folding it to the new middle crease. -
Step 5* You should now see four even sections along the bottom and left-hand side
-
Step 6Using the creases on the left-hand side, take the left bottom corner and fold it up to the top crease
(the fold should not surpass the bottom middle crease).
This time, press down along the entire fold to keep it in place. -
Step 7Next, take the right bottom corner and fold it to the left-hand side. Make sure it’s folded along the edge, also, not surpassing the middle crease (this should give you a clean point at the bottom).
-
Step 8Taking the same corner from the previous step, fold it in half, taking the corner back to the right-hand side. Make sure the edges are parallel.
-
Step 9Now, take the left side, fold over to the right, making sure to keep the edges parallel.
-
Step 10Turn it over and draw a petal design. I chose a pointed petal design to create a sakura.
*Make sure to leave the left and right edges attached at some points in order to keep the entire image intact! -
Step 11Once the drawing is complete, cut it out and unfold it. You should have a lovely flower to decorate anything you like.
-
Step 12Try different styles to create a wide range of lovely designs.
This one I tried with a semi heart shape: -
Step 13Once I cut it out, I thought it might look cheesy….
-
Step 14but to my surprise, it turned out different from what I imagined. The star in the middle adds a special touch.
Have tried to find homemade paper beads didn' find any help.
its really cool.
