[Origami Collection] Illustrated Guide to Folding a Paper Lily

I believe everyone folded many interesting little things out of paper as a child, and as we grow older, it seems many people have forgotten the joy of those days. In fact, handmade crafts offer especially great fun and depth. So today let us search through our origami collection for the way to fold a lily. Below is the illustrated guide to folding a lily that we have prepared for you; let us complete it together.

This is a folded four-petaled lily, quite beautiful, isn't it!

Step 1: First take a square piece of paper, and choose your favorite color according to your own preference.

Step 2: Fold along the diagonal, then open it up, and a crease will appear, as shown in the picture.

Step 3: Along the two corners beside the crease, squeeze toward the middle, and you will get the shape shown in the picture.

Step 4: Just like folding a paper crane, fold the squeezed space in half, and you will get the shape shown in the picture, then press it flat.

Step 5: Find one side that forms a 90-degree angle with the bottom, and fold it into the shape shown in the picture.

Step 6: Press down flat along the middle line, and you will get the shape shown in the picture.

Step 7: Right after the previous step, align the center line to the left.

Step 8: Repeat the above method on the opposite side as well.

Step 9: All the sides must be pressed flat and straight.

Step 10: Then fold out this crease as shown in the picture.

Step 11: Along this crease, press the two pointed corners downward; do the same for the other sides.

Step 12: Then fold the topmost corner downward; fold the corners of all sides this way.

Step 13: Fold the closed pointed tip toward the center line in the middle.
