Camellia and Origami

Camellia and Origami
I was searching for information on camellia tea when I came across this beautiful flower that resembles a rose. The leaves and leaf buds of camellia sinensis are used to produce tea. It is an evergreen shrub and found in abundance in Japan and China. Found in pink, red, and white colors, each one is a beautiful bloom.

Found a picture of this beautiful flower on the internet and thought if there was an origami version of it. No doubt about it, there were many tutorials on the web on how to make the origami camellia flower.

So there I was ready with some craft papers and looking for tutorials on how to make the camellia flower. The origami camellia is not difficult to fold but beginners or kids may find it a little challenging. You may even give up in the middle of the process but keep trying and once you know the folds you will be able to make one in less than a few minutes.

I made the camellia flowers using one-sided colored gift wrapping papers, while for the leaves I used rainbow printing sheets. The size of the sheets used for the flower was @8cm x 8cm squares and the final size of each flower was @5cm in diameter.

Do try them. There are plenty of tutorials on the net from where you can learn to make them. They make a beautiful arrangement for greeting cards or wall decor too.
