The flower you’re going to create today is slightly more advanced than your basic origami flower because it will be blooming, much like a rose or a daisy, rather than still a bud or an overly simple flower shape, like a tulip.

There are as many varieties of origami flowers as there are fresh flowers.

With a spray of your favorite perfume, or that of the recipient, you can create a fragrant, personalized gift. What better gift to give than a beautiful bouquet of origami flowers! Origami flowers will never wilt and you do not need to worry about checking for bugs or watering them. Origami characters and objects are fun to make and display they also make great gifts.
