8 Petal Origami Flower
Learn how to fold a beautiful origami flower with eight petals and a stem from a single sheet of square paper. This intermediate traditional origami flower is perfect to make a whole bouquet of paper flowers.
This pretty origami flower is quite unique, having 8 petals and being a moderately easy origami model. Please use a large size of origami paper, such as 15 x 15 cm (6×6 inches) or even larger. Using thinner paper is also recommended.
Having a little stem at the back, you can use this to stand it up as well. When made with red paper this flower makes a perfect Christmas Poinsettia Flower.
