Step 1
Start with a sheet of square paper and fold it in half. Open the sheet back up and fold it in half the other way to leave 2 creases that cross in the middle of the paper. Take each corner and fold them to the center of the sheet of paper, forming a diamond shape.
-
Step 2
Fold the new corners to the center line of the diamond to form a smaller square. Turn the paper over and fold the corners into the middle again to form another smaller diamond shape.
-
Step 3
Take just the tips of the corners and fold them down toward the center of the paper. Then turn the paper over again.
-
Step 4
Hold onto the folded tips and turn the 4 facing flaps inside out. Take the remaining folded pieces and turn them inside out as well. This is your origami lily. Proceed to Step 5 to add leaves to finish your lily project.
-
Step 5
Use another square piece of paper for the leaves. Fold it in half to form a vertical crease. Align each side edge with the middle line and fold them into place.
-
Step 6
Fold the paper in half horizontally and again vertically. Pull the 2 inside pieces of paper out and fold the whole sheet into an inverted "V" shape. Fold the 2 outside corner tips back.
-
Step 7
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 to make additional origami leaves and glue them to your completed lily.
