I love origami! Even though this is the first origami flower after like an whole year.I kinda messed up the step when i made the petals but it turned out really good. Tomorrow ill give this to my teacher becuz it is the last day of school and i am not going to see her at school, but i can see her in the hollways and that would make me happy.
this is the worst – tutorial ever. just skipped through step #17, and through a lot of folds without any explanation or tutorial. the single sentence instructions are not helpful either if you don’t even show any arrows so we know how you even did anything. i spent time n effort trying to learn this and it sucks my time n effort was wasted bc of terrible instructions. really killed my mood.
Sorry to hear you had trouble following, a video or a diagram may be a better option for you. If I understood correctly, around step 17 is the problem? I would like to make it as clear as possible, so any feedback on how it can be improved would be helpful.
how do the edges change magically from step 24 to 25?
This is how the paper looks when pressing it down. Press down until it reverses the middle into a cone. Hope that helps 🙂
