EASY Origami Sunflower



Origami sounds complicated but it is simply taking a sheet of paper and folding that in a step-by-step fashion to create a paper model. Flat origami sunflower pieces can be displayed on handmade cards, in scrapbooks or as wall art. 3D models of flowers make gorgeous gifts - why not make a whole sunny bouquet?

This paper works so well for making origami flowers such as the sun flower. It has a pretty tye dye effect which gives the flowers a softer appearance once folded. Perfect when you have mastered the basics and are becoming more serious about the art of paper folding.

"Bring me then the plant that points to those bright Lucidites swirling up from the earth, And life itself exhaling that central breath! Bring me the sunflower crazed with the love of light" ~ Eugenio Montale

Origami Sunflower Diagram
"Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock." ~ Henry Ward Beecher
