So fun! I’m 15, and I have been doing origami for a long time.
Tia looks super pretty, but every time I try to flip the petals over to look well like
Petals, the paper always rips no matter what I do. My paper is 6 by 6 inches. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi there! I can only suggest using larger paper, although it should be possible with any size. Perhaps the paper is too thick.
my first time
I did it on second try! Step #18 is a bit tricky to do. The the corner must be held tightly. Place your thump underneath the flap and slowly pull the flap (about the holding point) to the other side. It work for me 🙂 Thanks for the instructions.
thank you
just a little bit difficult
i actually need you to use smaller paper because my origami paper at school is very small, so maybe you could make instructions and video with smaller paper. i am struggling to make the final product!
Yeah…
I tried to make it twice but couldn’t.☹
