| Text | A very simple flower, starting from a preliminary base.
Flower 1. Start with a preliminary base. Arrange it with the free ends facing up. 2. Raise the upper left flap vertically to locate the central axis. 3. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower side of the upper right triangle from right to left on the central axis. Mark the fold. 4. Return the left flap to horizontal, if it is not already there. 5. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower side of the upper left triangle from left to right on the central axis. Mark the fold. 6. Flip the fold from right to left. 7. Repeat the treatments from step 2 to step 5 on the two triangular flaps. You get a four-sided shape, with a long tip and a shorter tip. Place it horizontally, with the long point to the right. 8. Close the fold with a mountain fold on the central axis, from top to bottom, towards you. We obtain a triangle whose base is at the top. 9. Locate the middle of the base and pinch this point between the thumb and index finger of the left hand. 10. Using this point as a pivot, form a valley fold by folding the right point down, so that it is approximately perpendicular to the top edge. Mark the fold well. Unfold. 11. Pinch again with the left hand the midpoint which served as the pivot. Insert the thumb of the right hand into the tip, opening it gently, at the height of the midpoint. With the index finger of the right hand, tilt the tip downwards, reversing the folds prepared in the previous step. Mark the fold well. We made an inside reverse fold. We have a shape made up of a fairly thick point and a set of flaps which we will now move away from each other. 12. Take the fold by the tip, with the left hand, the other flaps facing upwards. Allowing the tip to open slightly, gently spread the four flaps, as if you wanted to flatten them. Leave them a three-dimensional shape, and close the tip. 13. Shape the petals. We have obtained a pretty flower, which can be worn in the buttonhole or whose tail can be slipped into the Stem and leaf folding that follows to obtain a very pretty bouquet. Stem and leaf 1. Start with one base of the diamond. Arrange it horizontally, the two upper small triangles towards the left. 2. Locate the horizontal center line. 3. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower left edge of the diamond to the midline. Pay close attention to the different thicknesses, so that they stay in place. 4. Turn the fold over with a movement from back to front and from bottom to top. 5. Straighten the rear flap vertically with a valley fold resting on the horizontal median fold, to clearly identify it. 6. Form a valley fold by bringing the bottom left side of the shape over the middle fold from the bottom to the top. Carefully monitor the installation of the different thicknesses. 7. Fold in the mountain, leaning on the middle fold, so as to close the fold. We obtain a very thin triangular shape, with a long point on the left. This will be the stem. 8. Use your left thumb to locate the top of the front triangle which opens slightly forward. Go slightly past this peak to the right along the upper edge. Fold the right point into a valley using the left thumb which retains the point marked in the previous step.Mark the fold well. The tip should come along the top horizontal edge. 9. Straighten the tip that has just been bent vertically using a movement from left to right. Insert your right thumb inside, as far down as possible, spreading the edges. Push the tip forward, gradually removing your thumb and flattening the folds that form. We now have a stem and a leaf. The top of the stem has a small pocket which is just waiting for the tail of the flower to be slipped inside. |
