Learn to fold this easy origami Dahlia flower designed by Makoto Yamaguchi. It does not involve any complicated folds and even kids can try making them. However, this is not traditional origami and involves using 8 modular units.
Category: Modular Origami partially since it involves using glue.
Level: Easy
Materials required:
Square paper - 8 nos.
Glue to stick the units together.
Procedure:
Here, we have used 6cm square paper colored on both sides. If you use an origami paper, you can start by keeping the white side on the top.
Now follow the steps closely to understand how to fold the flower.
Step 01: Note the creases made along both the diagonals.
Step 02: Fold the top and bottom tips to meet the crease at the center.
Step 03: Now, fold the top and bottom edges to meet at the centre.
Step 04: Now fold the unit backwards along the centre line.
Step 05: Now fold the entire unit into half along the center to get a pair of petals as shown below. This makes one unit of the dahlia flower. Here, it is advisable to apply a little glue between the petals, to make it easier to assemble the entire flower.
Step 06: Make 8 such units.
Note, in the picture below, glue has been applied to some of the units only since the picture was taken in the process of applying glue to the units.
Step 07: Add some glue to the sides of both the units and keep adding one unit after the other till you are done with all 8 units.
Done: The origami Dahlia flower is ready
The final size of the flower model is @ 9cm in diameter.
