1st you take a square piece of paper and fold in half. Unfold it, and then fold it in half the opposite direction. You should have to intersecting lines made from the folds.
-
Now this part is a little tricky to explain. You need to pinch in the sides using the indents from folding. The left and right side should fold, and the top and bottom will be the only 2 out of the 4 sides you will see.
-
It should look like this when you are done. (=
-
Now your going to fold the bottom corner up to the top corner. It doesn't matter which side you do first.
-
It shold look like this.
-
Repeat with opposite corner. The flip it to the otherside and repeat.
Stay with me guys! haha -
When your done folding all the sides you should have a diamond. Then you need to put the left and right sides together on each side. You should still have a diamond that looks like this same size and everything. Sorry I can't explain that better. If you need help just ask.
-
Now you need to fold all the sides in to the middle.
-
When your done it should look like this, on both the top and bottom sides.
-
You need to tape where I have my fingers. After you have taped both sides, you need to blow into the hole at the bottom of your rose.
-
It should look like this now.
-
Now you take a pen or whatever is convienent and roll the petals down.
-
Now this is for the stem. You take a different piece of paper and roll it up. (try to keep it as small as you can.) After you've rolled it. Tape it up.
-
Now stick it in the hole you used to blow it up.
-
This is for the leaves. Just fan fold the paper all the way from one corner to the next.
-
Tape the part where my fingers are.
-
Wrap the leaves around the stem and tape in place. Tada! You have a rose. Now spray them with your fave perfume, and you got yourself an alomst forever rose! Hope you like.

Do you think you can make it in an another type of paper?
The pattern hides the lines.

pretty! That'd be perfect for like making a homeade mother's day bouquet or something along those lines. Just looks like a good present idea for mommy or if your a guy your girlfriend

Okay let me try it again. Going from the picture, there is the part you can see. We will call that the front. then there is the part on the cutting board we will call that the back. Take the right side of the front and fold it to the left corner. Then flip it around where the back side is now the front. And repeat. I hope that is a better explanation. If not try asking Emma T., she did a version and might be able to explain better than me. (=

These are absolutely gorgeous, but...I was always under the impression that these origami flowers were tulips. Roses are rounder, I thought. Either way, great job. Beautiful craftmenship and I love the stems and leaves.
