origami flower bouquet (inspired by @adyxwk on tiktok!)

these beautiful flowers popped up on my explore page and I had to make them! Since the reel is so short and I couldn’t find a longer form tutorial, I made this one. They’re so cute and perfect for gifts or decoration. I hope it’s helpful! :)

Written instructions:
For each bouquet (5 flowers and 1 wrapper), you’ll need:
- Five 3x3 inch flower color squares
- Five 3x3 inch green squares (for stem)
- One 3x3 inch wrapper square

For the flowers:
1. Fold one edge of the square about 1/4 inch down
2. Roll the piece of paper (folded edge inside)
3. Twist this roll of paper, making sure to leave the folded edge uncrushed! (this will become the face of your flower)

For the stem:
1. Cut three ½ inch slits along one edge of the square, spreading the cuts at ¼, ½, and ¾ of that edge
2. Fold down on both edges of this new rectangle you’ve created, making a triangle shape. You should have 4 small triangles on one edge of the square!

For the wrapper:
1. Bend the paper around one corner, creating a cone
2. Using tape (regular or double-sided tape), attach the 2 touching edges of the paper to stick the cone shape together

Flower + stem assembly:
1. Roll the stem (the square with 4 triangles) around the twisted flower shape you’ve created (think of rolling a sushi roll!). Be sure that the triangles point in the same direction as the face of the flower.
2. Twist the stem around the twisted flower shape so they stay together
3. Bend the triangles downward slightly (away from the face of the flower) so they frame the flower instead of lying parallel to it.

Bouquet assembly:
1. Stick your five assembled flower + stem into the cone shape of the wrapper. You may need to cut the ends of the flower a bit to fit them well
2. You’re done! Enjoy your beautiful, non-wilting flowers!! :)
