Origami Lotus Flower Step by Step
Both segments should be square in shape, you can take the same size, or you can make the green leaf a little larger.
Folding a Lotus Flower
Fold the pink square segment into a triangle, but so that the edges in it do not touch. As you can see in the photo, the lower part of the triangle is larger.
Lift the right and left corners up, placing them on the sides of the upper corner.
Now the flower needs to be rounded, for this, bend back the bottom corner and small side corners. Everything, the simplest lotus flower is ready.
Folding Lotus Leaf
It also needs a square sheet of paper.
On its square we will make 4 intersecting folds.
First, fold the square into a triangle, iron the fold. Unfold the paper and fold it into a triangle again, but now connect the other two opposite corners.
Flatten the paper again, giving it the shape of a square, and fold it into a rectangle, connecting the sides. Spread back and fold in half again, but now connect the other two sides.
The folds we need in the form of a snowflake are ready.
Go back to the square. Bend a little all 4 of its corners, trying to make them the same.
On one side, make a cut to the center.
And slightly bend the edge of the cut.
Turn over, the sheet is ready.
