Origami Lotus Tutorial

Description

This is a (hopefully) simple tutorial to learn how to make an origami lotus. ^_^

This was requested by the lovely :icondrauthor:

This was also a mini project I did for Sherlock Holmes Week 2012, the finished project can be found here:[link]

Step One:

Take a square piece of paper. It can be any color you want it to be, I used yellow because it showed up better when I took pictures. This works best if you use thin colored paper. The paper has to be perfectly square, otherwise it looks off. Fold the paper in half, and then fold the otherside the same way. Then fold it in half by the corners so it looks like Picture 1.

Step Two:

Once you have your paper identical to picture one, take one corner of the paper and fold it so the tip of the corner touches the center of the paper. Do this with the other three corners. Your paper should look like Picture 2.

Step Three:

Repeat step two. Just fold the corners to the center again. Your paper should look like Picture 3.

Step Four:

Turn the paper over, it should be a perfect square. Fold the corners to the center like steps 2 and 3. The paper should look like Picture 4. Once this is done, you can apply a clear strip of tape to hold the corners in place if you used a large piece of paper. If you used a small piece of paper, leave them alone.

Step Five:

Turn the paper over to the side you started on. The corners in the center should be able to fold back. Once you fold the larger corners, there should be four more smaller ones inside, fold them back like the larger ones and your lotus should look like Picture 5.


It took me an entire afternoon to learn this. I couldn't find a tutorial that wasn't insanely difficult so I made up my own way. You might find that the others work better for you. ^_^

Thank you for reading!
