Origami is an ancient Japanese art that allows us to make various objects in paper. In its classic version, origami does not allow the use of scissors, glue and other similar instruments.

The objective of the game is to show his skill in paper folding and to realize DIY entirely natural decorations. After our tutorial that featured easy paper folding ideas,

As we know, the Japanese are great lovers of the beauty of nature and, more particularly, flowers. For this reason, they have developed several paper folding techniques in the form of flowers. We are looking at 3 that show how to make a blooming flower, a tulip and a camellia.
