Folding a flower step by step
First, we will figure out how to make the flower of origami from paper. The figure is folded diagonally. Then the extreme corners are alternately wrapped inward so that the corners peek out slightly beyond the opposite sides. It remains to raise the lower corner up to the formation of an even line at the base of the flower. If the folds are made clearly and correctly, then the contours of the tulip are obtained. Even such an origami can already be used in creating a bouquet on a card for mom or grandmother on March 8 or birthday.
If you make a flower on a stalk made of thick paper, then such flowers can stand firmly on the table. How to make an origami stalk from paper, read below.
The green square is located at the corners to the side. Then the opposite edges are turned inward so that the upper sides of the rhombus appear clearly along the central fold of the craft.

The lower base should be flat so that the flower assembled together does not fall sideways, but is in a vertical position.
