Miniature Lily Bouquet

The completed model, shown from another angle to help check its shape and proportions.

1. 1

   Crease each square along both diagonals and both midlines. Bring the sides inward and flatten into a layered square.

2. 2

   Fold an edge toward the center and unfold. Lift the flap upright, open its pocket, and squash it flat along the crease.

3. 3

   Repeat the pocket fold on the other faces. Fold the lower edges toward the center, unfold them, then lift the lower point upward.

4. 4

   Bring the sides inward along the new creases and flatten the lifted flap. Fold its small triangle downward. Repeat on the other faces, then rotate the model.

5. 5

   Turn the layers to expose a smooth face. Fold its sides toward the center and repeat around the model. Gently pull the four long points outward to open the lily.

6. 6

   Set a small craft stem beside the finished flower.

7. 7

   Repeat the folding sequence to make enough lilies for a small bouquet.

8. 8

   Fix each flower to a stem with craft glue. Let the joints dry before gathering the stems.

9. 9

   Gather the flowers, wrap the stems, and tie them together. The wrapping is shown as a finished example rather than a separate folding sequence.
