| Text | This folding makes it very easy to obtain a flower with four petals.
Flower 1. Start with a bird base. Hold it with the closed tip upwards. 2. Raise the front flap as much as possible with a valley fold upwards. 3. Flip the fold from right to left. 4. Raise the front flap as much as possible with a valley fold upwards. We now have a vertical elongated diamond shape with two points facing down. 5. Rotate from right to left around the vertical axis the right front flap onto the left front flap. 6. Flip the fold from right to left. 7. Rotate from right to left around the vertical axis the right front flap onto the left front flap. We still have a vertical elongated diamond, but now the two points are at the top, slipped inside a closed point. 8. Locate the point of intersection between the horizontal imaginary line which joins the left and right middle vertices of the diamond and the vertical axis. 9. Form a valley fold by bringing the right middle vertex of the right front triangular flap from right to left to the intersection point. Mark the fold well. 10. Form a valley fold by bringing the middle left vertex of the left front triangular flap from left to right to the intersection point. Mark the fold well. 11. Flip the fold from right to left. 12. Form a valley fold by bringing the right middle vertex of the right front triangular flap from right to left to the intersection point. Mark the fold well. 13. Form a valley fold by bringing the middle left vertex of the left front triangular flap from left to right to the intersection point. Mark the fold well. We have a 6-sided shape, with a lower point formed by two free flaps and two tapered upper points facing each other. 14. Raise the front flap as high as possible. 15. Flip the fold from right to left. 16. Raise the front flap as high as possible. We now have a 5-sided shape, made up of a front flap hiding two tapered points which themselves hide a rear flap. 17. Slide your fingers inside the two hidden points and gently pull them away from each other. The closed point in the middle flattens. 18. Shape the four petals by bending them slightly. The flower is finished. It has an opening that allows it to be slipped onto the stem of the 'Stem and Leaf' fold that follows. Stem and leaf This folding makes it possible to present a flower on a stem provided with a long leaf starting from the base. This type can correspond to a flower like the tulip. 1. Take a square sheet, hold it in the 'diamond' position. 2. Fold in a valley along the vertical diagonal, bringing the middle right corner to the middle left corner using a valley fold from right to left. Mark the fold. We obtain a triangular shape composed of two triangular flaps linked by a vertical hinge edge located on the right. 3. Form a valley fold by bringing the free top of the front triangular flap from left to right over the hinge edge, adjusting the upper left edge of the triangular flap along the hinge edge. 4. Flip the fold from right to left. The hinge edge is now on the left. 5. Form a valley fold by bringing the upper edge of the front triangular flap from right to left over the hinge edge, adjusting the upper right edge of the triangular flap along the hinge edge. We obtain a triangular shape with a long point upwards, the vertical hinge fold on the left. 6. Form a valley fold by bringing the bottom right edge of the front triangular shape from left to right over the hinge edge, folding through all thicknesses. 7. Flip the fold from right to left. The hinge edge is now on the left. 8. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower edge of the front flap from left to right on the hinge edge, adjusting the side all along this edge. We have a base of the diamond in the closed position, which gives an elongated triangular shape, with a hinge fold in the vertical position on the right. Prepare a thin stem 9. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower left edge of the front triangular flap from left to right over the hinge edge, folding through all thicknesses. 10. Flip the fold from right to left. The hinge edge is now on the left 11. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower right edge of the front triangular flap from right to left over the hinge edge, folding through all thicknesses. 12. Open the fold so that the small flaps are at the front. 13. Form a valley fold by bringing the bottom tip of the shape over the top tip from bottom to top. Carefully monitor the installation of the different thicknesses. Mark the fold well. 14. Fold in a valley from left to right, leaning on the middle fold, so as to close the fold. We obtain a shape with a sharp point upwards and a horizontal base. This tip will form the leaf. It hides another interior point, which will be the stem. 15. Fold the outer tip backwards with an outer reverse fold, so as to form a downward-facing leaf. Keep a rounded shape. There is no benchmark. It all depends on the shape you want to obtain. For example, we can start from the middle of the lower right edge of the outer tip. To make this step easier, open the fold slightly, sketch the reversal, then close the fold. The result is a fairly pointed stem surrounded at the base by the beginning of a fairly long leaf. Now just place a flower at the top of the stem. |
