Paper Tulip Making: Step by Step Guide
Materials:
3 square pieces of paper measuring 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm (1 for tulip, 2 for stem and leaf)
1. Tulip Making
Fold the square paper in half to form a triangle.
Unfold and fold the other way in the same way.
Fold all the edges towards the center.
Fold the paper in half to make a triangle again.
Fold one half of the triangle into a diamond shape.
Turn the paper over and do the same for the other side.
Turn one half of the diamond to the opposite side.
Turn the paper over again and arrange the other side in the same way.
Fold the side edges at an angle towards the center line and glue.
Turn the paper over and glue the other side in the same way.
Cut off the end that is not open.
Puff it up slightly like a balloon to make a tulip shape.
Finish the tulip shape by curling the edges a little outwards.
2. Handle Making
Take a 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm square of paper and roll it into a thin tube.
3. Leaf Making
Fold a square of paper in half and cut.
Fold one of the halved sheets in half again.
Fold the edges towards the center line.
Fold the bottom edges to the center line once more.
Fold the top edges towards the center line to form a leaf.
Curl the edges outwards a little to give it a natural look.
Glue the leaf in the center of the stem.
4. Assemble
Glue the top of the stem together with the tulip.
Now your paper tulip is ready! 🎉
