How To Fold A Simple Origami Rose

Difficulty Level: Easy

There's lots of fancy, complicated origami flowers, but this is one of the easiest. All you'll need is a square piece of paper!

 Fold the paper in half lengthwise, then again, so that you end up with a small square.

 Now unfold it. There should be a + sign in the middle of the paper.

 Fold one corner of the paper down so that the very tip touches the point where the two lines intersect.

 Do the same thing with the other three corners.

 Then fold in each corner again, so that it looks like this.

 And, (last time!) fold in each corner again.

 Fold out each corner slightly like it shows in the corner. It shouldn't be completely flat out.

Then fold out the next bits inside the same way.

 And finally, the last ones. Here you have it- a simple origami rose!
