Tutorial: Origami Cherry Blossom

Ok, here's Part 2! How to make an Origami Cherry Blossom, I hope my photos help explain it -

Start with a square piece of paper, I used 3" x 3" -


 Fold it in half


 Then fold the bottom right corner so the right edge meets the top like so:


Repeat with the top right corner - fold so the side meets the bottom edge:



Next fold the left bottom corner to meet the "x" created by the creases


Then fold the point back so the edges meet like so:


Take the bottom right corner and fold the paper so the bottom edge meets the edge you just created:


Fold the 2 halves backwards on each other along this line:



So they look like this:


Next, get out your scissor & a pencil - you can mark out the leaf shape or just cut


So you get this:


Clip off the points -


If you open it all up, the flower will look like this:


Now fold the petals together until they're "sandwiched" between 2 others -


Like this:


Then fold the bottom edge up


Flip and repeat


Then C-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y pull the leaves apart and flatten out the flower

Heres the back side:


And heres the front!


Tada!
