One of my neighbour's kids wanted to know how to fold a paper flower?
http://www.origami-instructions.com/orig... has a rose lilly and tulip which are quite easy





http://home.comcast.net/~meenaks/diagram... bit more complex but some really nice designs





Some of the sites have rubbish diagrams but i have used the above and they have good pictures.





A water lilly is a speciality:


take a square piece of paper and fold all four corners into the centre making a smaller square.a good way to find the centre is to fold in half in both directions) Again, fold all four corners of the new square into the centre making a smaller suare still. Turn the square over (so the folds are facing away) and fold all four corners into the centre (last time i promise). Turn over again and it should look like you have four little squares. In turn fold each one of these squares back wards over the corner (be careful as you don't want them to tear, these will be the petals) Once you have done this there will be four more squares. open these out flat as these are the leaves. Turn over and hey presto you have a water lilly. Works great with coloured paper.





Hope this was not too confusing

Reply:The only paper flowers I remember how to make were made out of kleenex tissues. You lay a good amount of them in a neat stack, then fold them accordian style. Tie them in the middle, then spread the individual sheets apart on each end. Shape to make a flower. You can always use a green pipe cleaner for the stem.
