Origami Cornflower

Did you know less than 10% of all flowers on Earth are blue which makes them extra special? Make you own rare blue origami cornflower by following our simple steps below.

Step 1: We’ve used origami paper which is blue on one side – use paper that is blue (or purple!) on both sides if you’d rather not have the uncoloured paper showing in your final design.

Place your paper in a diamond position

Step 2: Fold the top point down to meet the bottom point

Step 3: Fold the left point over to meet the right point

Step 4: Lift the right top layer of paper upwards and open it up

Step 5: This is how your paper should look as you lift the paper and open it up

Step 6: Keep opening! As you open, the top point should automatically want to move downwards to meet the bottom point

Step 7: Once fully opened and pressed down, your paper should look like this

Step 8: Turn the paper over

Step 9: Repeat step 4 on the left side, lifting the left point upwards and opening its insides up

Step 10: Keep opening! As you open, the top point should automatically want to move downwards to meet the bottom point
