Nested Origami Camellia Flower Rosette

Level: Easy-Intermediate

This beautiful nested origami camellia flower is like a pretty layered rose or rosette. All you need are three sheets of square paper to complete this easy to intermediate origami flower.

First off, you will need three sheets of square paper.

Here are the sizes we used to achieve our nested origami camellia flower:

Largest sheet: 15 x 15 cm / 6 x 6 inches.
Medium sheet: 11 x 11 cm / 4.3 x 4.3 inches.
Smallest sheet: 8.5 x 8.5 cm / 3.4 x 3.4 inches.

You will need to make three Origami Camellia Flowers, please click here to view the tutorial for the flower. So go and make those and then come back here.

You could make even more layers to this flower. Each larger sheet needs to be multiplied by 1.3. For example, 15 x 1.3 = 19.5, so the next larger sheet would be 19.5 x 19.5 cm.
