Wow this is so easy and beautiful :]

[OrigamiBasics]

yes its quite nice.

[WaffleCopterMovies]

you cant use computer paper! its a rectangke not a square

[OrigamiBasics]

i know. you have to make it into a square first. i didn't include that because i thought most people knew how to make it into a square already.

[dalocochoco]

@WaffleCopterMovies square it. it's not that hard.

[Legojunky99]

@WaffleCopterMovies Make it a square! ever use a thing called

[Legojunky99]

@WaffleCopterMovies Make it a square! ever use a thing called imagination?

[jackm6487]

i used a 6ft by 6ft bit of paper yea asom

[OrigamiBasics]

really? thats awesome!

[jackm6487]

it was big enought for me to sit in so wee took it out side to my fish pond and i was in it and it floted for 20 mins because i have a 5f by 26ft fish pond

[jackm6487]

i ment 50ft by 26ft sorry

[OrigamiBasics]

wow thats awesome. did you make a video of it or take a picture?

[jackm6487]

i will make another one and take a pic

[OrigamiBasics]

awesome. can't wait to see it.

[madwolf]

Nice model, and very simple too.

[OrigamiBasics]

yeah its awesome! its one of my favs.

[nabsterock]

how do you add more petals?

[OrigamiBasics]

well you would need a bigger piece of paper of course. then when your folding in a lot on that one side. you would have to add more layers of folds. i dont know if that explains it, but if that doesn't help i can try and make another video about it.

[nabsterock]

is there any wat to add a leaf

[OrigamiBasics]

i know how to add more peddles but not a leaf. you would probably have to find another video that could show you. sorry

[jamieboy147]

god it keeps ripping!!!

[OrigamiBasics]

lol its ok just keep practicing.

[Ojokernegro]

Thank you for posting mate. Though the folding is quite troublesome...and it seems the secret for the petals is the success on the folding (otherwise they rip a lot more). But overall, this is more simple than the peace crane, for that I'm glad I guess. G'luck

[OrigamiBasics]

thank you for the comment. the first half is really simple but the pedals are pretty hard. it took me a while to get the technique of not ripping the paper.

[dontsmashthatbug]

Clear packing tape on the back! Helps it not rip, a little thicker though....

[OrigamiBasics]

lol whatever helps i guess. XD

[dontsmashthatbug]

Origami paper rips! I guess computer paper IS better

[OrigamiBasics]

yeah i haven't tried origami paper. i guessed as much. lol XD

[TheRachel8224]

i know how to do the first part but then my flower got messed up any tips?

[OrigamiBasics]

by "messed up" do you mean ripped? if yes then all you have to do is keep trying. i ripped soooo many before i got good enough to stop ripping. i even ripped one in this video but i dont think you can see it. if you still have some trouble afterwords just tell me(specifically) whats wrong.

[silkworm117]

oh sorry, the first try i just accadentaly ripped it and was mad on the second time i made it.

[OrigamiBasics]

thats ok i rip the first dozen of mine.

[azmariah94]

That was beautiflu! Thank you so much for sharing! I really needed the help; I'm doing a project with flower origami, so I am so ever grateful. :)

[OrigamiBasics]

Thank you, your welcome, and good luck on your project. :)

[mariasheerani]

awesome video! i forgot to fold it THREE times to the center on the top, and had to open up my folds and go back and do it. :) thx for the paper suggestion, or i would have wasted origami paper! :)

you should watch other origami videos and try to make videos of them. Some people make very fast or very confusing videos and i think you could make them quite easy to understand!

[OrigamiBasics]

if you want you can send me the ones that are confusing and i can do them for you. and thank you very much.

[sodoku98]

very good folding u should make more videos

[OrigamiBasics]

im planning on making more soon... i hope.

[doodleberry10]

lovely lotus!!thanx fr the instructions!!

[OrigamiBasics]

no problem. thank you for the nice comment. :)

[buckeyes2kiwis]

you are so awesome! you enplaned it so well that i got it rite on the first try! and i am not even that good! thank you so vary much!!:)

[OrigamiBasics]

you are so very welcome. :)

[buckeyes2kiwis]

Oh, my gosh, that is my 10 year old daughter's comments. She spelled so many words wrong. How embarrassing, because we homeschool.

[OrigamiBasics]

its no problem. when i was young i had spelling much worse then this.

[GuitareCloud]

that was really nice :D good that you also had some own tip about the paper, got it on my first try to :P keep going

[OrigamiBasics]

thanks, but i dont know if i'll be making any videos soon. but ya never know.

[silkworm117]

this was horrible.i tried it 6 times and when it was time to fold over, all the times it riped.........worst video.

[OrigamiBasics]

im sorry. i guess i didn't explain good enough. :(

[buckeyes2kiwis]

thanks to you i did mine perfectly rather then the directions in the book thanks again!

[OrigamiBasics]

oh wow thats awesome. its nice to hear im better then a book. :)

[spidergirl919]

So pretty! You rock at teaching, I got it on my first try! Also the way you do yours looks really realistic! 2 thumbs up!!

[OrigamiBasics]

[masterhide]

It looks really nice with the petals bent back, at the very end.
