Make Paper Flowers - A review of Origami
 
Coloured tissue can be used for events or as gifts that may last and don't cost an arm and a leg. Should you be looking to make paper flowers and possess not made any before it might be best to start off with some not hard projects and work you way up.
 
Paper Folding or Origami (from your Japanese"oru" meaning "folding" and "kami" meaning Paper) since it is better known as is fun and therapeutic for your soul. If the paper flowers are well made they will last for many years if looked after. This can also be something to do with children on rainy days.
 
An advanced beginner here are some types of folds that you will encounter:
 
*Valley Fold - this is done by folding the paper towards yourself.
 
*Mountain Fold - this is achieved by folding the paper from your self.
 
*(Inside)Reverse Fold - pre-fold the sheet of paper in the directions (mountain and valley). Then open the model slightly and bring the top point down so that the mountain fold edge becomes a valley fold edge
 
*Decorative tissue paper - it's just like the inside reverse fold except the layers from the paper have to be wrapped around away from point.
 
*Sink Fold - the sink fold is a technique of blunting a point which has no open edges. The fold should first be precreased. Then carefully open the model and tuck the point inside. Flatten the model afterwards along existing creases.
 
Here are some tips that might help you along your path:
 
*Try to make the first folds of the project as accurate as you possibly can, if something is a little off try to repair it. As you go along, any inaccurate folding may cause more and more problems.
 
*Air Folding - As opposed to folding you model against a table surface, try folding along with your hands for a better finish.
 
*It is essential to choose the right kind of paper for that project. this is the basic material you need and is therefore important that you get it right. These are a number of the types of papers that you will need:
 
*Textured Paper: This kind of paper is really nice for straightforward origami. It can add to the gesture as well as create volume.
 
*Thin paper with solid colours: This sort of paper is better for medium-complexity models, mostly since get more details together with less volume.
 
*Foil-backed paper: This is paper that is made of a layer of thin foil bonded to regular paper. You can buy it at most origami paper stores. It will require and hold a clear crease very well and can compress so that places in the model that have lots of layers won't be so thick. This paper is made for more experienced people because there is no room for mistakes.
