Tulip origami: the scheme of simple and modular options and video instruction

It's not for nothing that they say that the best gifts are made with your own hands. After all, it is in them that we invest in the soul. Just imagine how it will be nice, for example, to mother to receive as a gift a bouquet of tulips made by the hands of her child. The art of origami is so rich in the secrets of the addition of paper that from the choice of schemes of colors the eyes are scattered. This kind of creativity is great for practicing children's creativity, developing the motor skills of the hands and training the child's attentiveness.

Tulip in the technique of the classic origami

There are two ways how to make an origami tulip: the scheme for children will be based on the addition of one sheet of paper, and for the enthusiastic natures a modular origami scheme is suitable.

The simplest version of

So, let's first learn how to fold a tulip from one square sheet of paper:

Prepare a red square of paper for work, the size remains at your discretion, but do not make it too small for the child to have difficulties.

Begin to accurately make kinks on paper, following the diagram. After that, we add a smaller square along the marked fold lines:

Now we need to bend each corner outward, as though turning over the sides of the square:

As a result, we should have a triangle:

Since our figure has acquired volume, we will work with the workpieceas with a book: leafing through the sides of a future flower. At the resulting triangle, we need to bend the corner to the middle, properly smoothing the place of the fold, after which we tuck it inward. We perform these actions with each triangle, which is in the "book":

So, we moved on to the formation of the flower bud. We need to fix the position of the petals with the help of folds of the extreme slices:

Our workpiece has already acquired the outlines of the future tulip, it remains only to help him blossom. Begin to spread the petals:

Our bud is ready:

To simplify the task, be sure to watch the video "origami tulip".

Tulip from paper modules

As for the tulip in the technique of modular origami, here, too, there is nothing complicated. Only the process of work will take you 10 minutes more. By the way, you can start acquaintance of your child with modular origami from this figure.

For work it is necessary to prepare 105 triangular modules for a flower bud. Scheme of addition of modules:

And for the petals of the stem, we need to make 3 blanks of green paper.

Let's start with the leaves of the tulip. For this, we put the square sheet of paper with sides of 15 cm first diagonally, and then we unbend it. To the resulting inflection line, bend the edges of the workpiece first from one side, then from the other. The edges of the figure again bend to the center:

All lines of bends need to be ironed well, so that the sheet does not fall apart. Turn over the blanks and give it a curved shape. Our leaf is ready.

As a stalk, a cocktail tube, wrapped in a green strip of paper 1 cm wide:

When all 3 leaves are ready, we proceed to create a bud of a tulip.

The first three rows of the flower will consist of 15 modules, which must be closed in a ring. After this, the entire workpiece must be carefully turned out so that the triangles are a short base outward. We add two more rows of modules to 15 corners in each row.

Now we begin to form the petals of the tulip. First we dress 4 modules, in the next row 3, then 2 and complete the petal 1 with the module.

After 2 petals again repeat the formation of the petal. In total we should have 3 petals of a tulip. The final touch is that we fix the stalk prepared in advance at the base of the flower bud.

If you have any difficulties in assembling the flower, then as a visual instruction you can use a video master-class:

You can make any number of tulips for bouquets, and also use different colors of paper. In the finished form, you will get this
