Romantic Idea: Make lots of
these hearts in assorted sizes and write something romantic and
loving on each and pin them to the fridge or wall on Valentines
morning.
Take your square piece of origami
paper and fold in guidelines to divide the paper into thirds
down and across. The guidelines should look like a noughts and
crosses board. You might need a ruler to measure out for this
bit.
Next fold in the top and the
left hand side 'columns' this will give you a little tuft of
paper - fold this tuft out flat. Turn the work over and pull
down the big flap and fold a neat crisp fold.
Fold down the bottom and side
tips and turn in and then turn over. Origami hearts are great
for writting little love messages on and pinning to the fridge.
Origami Valentines Rose - Trickier
Everyone loves Roses on Valentines Day so here is an Origami
Valentine rose. This rose is the easiest origami rose to make.
This rose is a flat bloom which is again great for writing love
messages on.
Romantic Idea: fill a large
flat-ish bowl with water and add a few floating candles and make
3 or 4 of these origami roses to float on the water with the
candles.
Fold the square piece of paper
in half corner to corner to make a triangle. Then fold the triangle
in half again. Unfold all these folds. With the coloured side
down and using the fold lines as a guide, fold the corners of
the paper in to the centre.
Next fold in the corners again
as you did in the previous step but this time using the lines
of where the previous flaps meet as the guidelines. Turn the
work over and turn the tips of each corner in, using the guidelines
on the underside of the rose. The tips that you turn should be
as wide and the straights that will be left, this is to give
the rose a rounded base.
Turn the work over. Take each
of the four flaps in turn and fold them back on to themselves
to create the first row of petals. The previous step reveals
more flaps in the middle of the rose. Fold these flaps back on
themselves. And let them stand upwards. |
