Flowers origami. Lily.

Origami is an ancient art, and in its original version it was meant to create flowers. Paper bouquets were so beautiful that they could quite compare to their living counterparts. Improving and developing, the art of origami combined several techniques. Now with their help you can create great crafts - animal figurines, cakes, airplanes. But flowers are a classic, and it is always a success.

The theme of this conversation is origami lily. There are three options for creating this tender and attractive flower, a symbol of innocence. Each of the options considered below has advantages and disadvantages, difficulties in manufacturing. The appearance of the products received is also different, but they are the same in one: it's just great!

The first option is for beginners. In this case, origami lily looks like a separate flower, folded from several pieces of paper. For example, you will need three square sheets of different sizes: the largest green leaf will represent leaves, the other two - lily petals. The blanks are folded according to the "frog" scheme, then they are connected to each other with a small amount of glue or simply stitched. A ready flower can serve both for decorating a postcard and as an independent gift. Gentle, light and exquisite, the flower is fairly simple to make and even a child can cope with such a scheme - of course, under the guidance of an adult.

The second option is a modular origami lily. Like any modular origami, it involves assembling a flower from blanks - triangular modules. The beautiful flower turns out not so air, as in the first case, and to collect it it is much more difficult and more longly. But the result is worth it - the origami lily from the modules, especially if decorated with glossy paper designed to represent water, plus the leaves are also in the style of origami - and you get the composition, in beauty and originality, comparable only with the charm of wildlife. To create a lily from modules is a painstaking business. First you need to "wind" about 100 triangular modules for the lily itself and plus the same number or more (depending on the scope of the master) of blanks for leaves. It is difficult to experiment with the color solution: the leaves must be dark green, and the lily itself - white with yellow veins. When connecting modules, the main thing is not to mix up the expansion sites of the petals and their narrowing. With due attention, the result will be simply magnificent!

The third option is origami kusudama lily. What is the technique of Kusudam in general? No less known than the modular origami, this technique involves the creation of products in the form of a ball. There are also modules - special folded strips of paper, which can be fastened together. Kusudama can decorate any interior. Sometimes these designer products are so beautiful that from afar it is impossible to understand if a ball is made of real flowers or it is just artfully folded paper. To create an origami lily will need six modules - beautifully look products from three colors. So, we need three pairs of modules of different colors, but not too bright and screaming. Adding them in the form of a crown with four peaks, we get the blanks for the kusudama. It remains only to fix the modules with each other. Kusudama will look good under the ceiling, especially if from below attach a brush to the ball. Probably, friends and acquaintances will be delighted with such a gift,

It remains to say in conclusion only one: look for websites of masters and craftsmen, study the schemes, rejoice in the creative process of creating the beautiful, let while it will be expressed only in a paper flower. We can create beautiful things so much - so let's use this opportunity together!
