Origami in the form of a tulip

Any child is interested in creating beautiful crafts with their own hands. Little masters are especially pleased with the process of modeling figures in the form of animals and flowers. For example, an elegant tulip can be made using the popular origami papermaking technique. In today's article, we will learn how to do it correctly.

The tulip symbolizes pure love, loyalty and tenderness. This flower is very beautiful and simple at the same time. This plant is ideal as the base for most attractive crafts.

If you correctly craft a tulip using the popular origami technique, then it can turn out to be very elegant and original. There are many schemes for creating such things. They can be both extremely simple and straightforward, and very complex, involving the modeling of a large number of components. Even the smallest craftsmen can learn all the basics and features of the specified papermaking. When a child learns the origami technique, he gets a lot of benefits from it.

• Thanks to the modeling of origami paper figures, the baby's fine motor skills are actively developing, which at the same time has a positive effect on his brain activity.
• In the process of creating figures from paper, the child develops maximum concentration of attention, as well as accuracy and purposefulness.
• Making beautiful paper figurines can be a great way to have fun. For many kids, creating original paper products seems very interesting and entertaining.
• The assembly of more complex paper figures is usually done in collaboration with adults. This is a great family hobby.

Before you start modeling paper tulips using the origami technique, you should find out what tools and materials are best for this.

• It is recommended to use special origami paper. Such materials can be easily found in shops that stock art supplies.
• It is allowed to use standard sheets of colored paper if special options are not available. But it must be borne in mind that the thickness of such materials should be optimal. Excessively thin or dense specimens will not work.
• When modeling many figurines, scissors are used. It is advisable to use only such office tools that have fairly sharp and well-sharpened blades. A blunt device will not work to make neat and even cuts.

Thus, it will be possible to ensure that the little master does not accidentally injure himself on the sharp blades.

The modular origami technique involves the use of paper modules to assemble a single structure of any type. Modular components look like tapered pieces that are attached to each other.

With modular origami, you often have to prepare a very large number of triangular-shaped paper components. Only when all these components are ready, you can safely proceed to the assembly of the figure. It is worth noting that the resulting crafts look very impressive. Such designs can serve as a creative interior decoration or a non-trivial gift for any occasion.

Consider instructions for children on how to make an original volumetric flower in stages.

1. The tulip will need to be folded from a certain number of modular components. The latter should be formed from rectangular pieces of colored paper with dimensions of 6x4 cm. It is advisable to use red sheets.
2. First, the rectangles are folded in half lengthwise.
3. Then they are bent already across, so that it turns out to mark the line of the middle. Then the part is unbent and laid with a corner looking up.
4. Now the edges are bent to the middle of the workpiece.
5. The product is turned over.
6. The lower part of the workpiece is folded up.
7. Fold the corners by bending them over the largest triangular element.
8. Next, the corners are carefully folded back together with the lower half.
9. Again, the corners are laid along the outlined lines, and the lower half is also raised up.
10. The blanks of the modules are folded in half. At this stage, these important components will be ready for further work.

To make a beautiful red tulip bud, a young craftsman will need to make 105 triangular modular components. When the required number of components is ready, you can start assembling a neat and beautiful structure.

The tulip bud will need to be collected in order, gradually reducing the number of modules closer to the top, since it should turn out to be narrowed.

A small hole should remain at the bottom of the bud, into which in the last stages you will need to place a stem from a green cocktail tube.

You will also need to cut out a green paper square with dimensions of 15x15 cm. It is folded in half, unbent. After that, the edges of the workpiece must be bent towards the middle. The edges located on the other side should also be folded there. Thereafter, all paper layers are folded back. The finished leaf will need to be given a neat curved shape.This component will need to be glued to the stem with PVA glue.

If the child is not at all familiar with the origami papermaking technique, then it is better for him to study it, referring to the simplest and most understandable schemes. Having mastered the elementary options, the little master can gradually move on to complicated master classes.

We will learn how you can make the most beautiful and simplest origami tulip out of paper in stages.

1. First you need to take a sheet of red colored paper. You will need to cut a square out of it. After that, the resulting part is folded diagonally so that a triangle is eventually formed. The fold is well ironed with your fingers.
2. The next step is to gently bend the pointed edges of the triangular piece in the opposite direction. This should be done in such a way that the corners protrude slightly from above. Similar work is carried out on one and the other side. After that, the workpiece is turned over. At this point, the paper tulip bud is ready.
3. Now you can start modeling the stem. To do this, you need to cut a square piece from green or light green paper. After that, it is bent along a diagonal line. Next, the figure is revealed.
4. The sides on the sides in the next step must be applied towards the center point so that a corner is formed. All folds need to be ironed well.
5. Now the sheet will need to be bent in half. The corner in the lower part is then bent upwards so that it is visible from behind the main part of the structure.
6. All the necessary paper blanks at this stage will be made. It remains only to connect together the upper and lower components of the flower. In this case, you can use a stationery glue stick.

Origami in the form of a beautiful tulip can be made according to other interesting patterns. So, voluminous paper homemade products are very effective and unusual. A flat origami tulip will look no worse if you craft it carefully and in stages.

From green and red squares of paper with sides of 15x15 cm, you can get a very original and elegant craft in the form of a three-dimensional volumetric flower. Let's figure out the algorithm for creating it.

1. A square red leaf is first laid on the work surface, then folded in half longitudinally and transversely. After that, the workpiece is opened.
2. The product must be turned over. Now the square should be folded along a pair of diagonals, and then opened again.
3. The blank is folded from top to bottom. In this case, the side corners are removed inward, bringing them to the central point.
4. The result is a water bomb figurine.
5. Now the corners on the right and left are folded, directing to the top point of the triangular part.
6. Turn the product over and repeat the previous point.
7. The right half of the blank is turned over to the left, like a book.
8. The product is turned over.
9. Then the "book" must be closed from right to left.
10. The right side of the upper paper layer must be folded to the center line, slightly tucking behind it.
11. The same should be done with the left side.
12. Insert one formed valve into the second.
13. After that, the previous steps are repeated on the reverse side.
14. The triangular element in the lower half of the workpiece will need to be bent upwards, and then returned to its original position.
15. The product is turned over. Next, you need to gently grab the pockets at the bottom and pull them in different directions, while at the same time blowing air into the hole in the center of the structure.
16. The flower must acquire the required volume.
17. The upper petals are gently bent downwards, and then slightly twisted. You can use scissors for this.
18. The bud of a beautiful tulip will be made at this stage. It remains to craft the stem and leaf blades to complete the composition.

Greenery will be made from a green square with dimensions of 15x15 cm.

1. The workpiece is laid with the wrong side up and with the corner facing itself. After that, a diagonal fold is made.
2. The side portions are now folded towards the center to form a kite. Its open part should be directed downward.
3. The outer corners of the workpiece will need to be bent to the center again, as shown in the diagram.
4. After that, the left and right edges will need to be bent to the middle.
5. The lower point of the paper blank is connected to the upper one.
6. Next, the formed blank is folded in half according to the "valley" type. It is necessary to push both parts apart to separate the leaf and stem.
7. All that remains is to fasten the bud and stem together.

You can make several of these flowers to form an elegant bouquet of them.

A flat paper tulip made using the origami technique can turn out to be no less attractive. We will learn how to correctly model such a figure.

1. First you need to model a tulip bud. To do this, you need to take a sheet of colored paper of a red hue. A square blank should be cut out of it. Next, this base should be folded in half to form a triangle. After that, this workpiece will need to be opened and the steps repeated with all other angles.
2. Next, you need to grab the lower corners to bend them to the upper half of the craft. In this case, the lower part of the red blank should form a corner. The central part should remain open, as before.
3. In the next step, the product will need to be turned upside down. After that, the sides of the workpiece will have to be bent.
4. The tulip bud in this step will be done. Now you need to move on to work with the second green leaf.
5. From it, you will also need to cut a square blank. Its corners should be connected to each other. After that, the product is turned over, and then the lower corner is raised up. However, the connection must be made in such a way that the edges remain the same even after that.
6. The next step is to grab the right side of the workpiece. After that, it is connected to the left side. The product will then need to be carefully opened. The lower component is raised and turned downwards. As for the right side of the workpiece, on the contrary, it is raised.
7. In the next step, the paper product will need to be positioned so that its wide corner is at the top.
8. The bottom half of the workpiece should be tucked in and then carefully folded in half. You will also need to fold the wide part.
9. It remains to attach a red elegant bud to the formed stalk. For a secure hold, use a glue stick. It is not recommended to use a liquid PVA composition, since it can leak and spoil the appearance of the paper at the glued joints.
