TULIP ORIGAMI PATTERN
Designed by Michael G. LaFosse. In keeping with the literal pun, younger kids especially love receiving and folding these “Two-Lips!” There are a few designs that drive the use of special duo (two color) papers. Red / green duo papers are popular for Christmas, but now you have a reason to buy a pack to keep on hand any time of the year to cheer up any gloomy-puss!
Step 1
Begin with the lip-color side up. (A) Valley-fold in half diagonally, left to right. Unfold. (B) Valley-fold in half diagonally, bottom to top.
Step 2
Valley-fold in half, corner to corner. Unfold.
Step 3
Valley-fold the bottom left and right corners to meet at the top.
Step 4
Turn the paper over, left to right.
Step 5
Be sure that the folded edges are at the bottom. Valley-fold the bottom left and right edges to meet at the vertical center crease. Allow the triangular flaps to come to the front.
Step 6
Turn the paper over, left to right.
Step 7
Valley-fold the top corner of the top flap down.
Step 8
Mountain-fold the top and bottom corners behind.
Step 9
Valley-fold the left and right triangular flaps inward and tuck behind the folded edges of the center paper. Mountainfold a shallow V-shaped dent at the top of the lips.
Step 10
The completed Two-Lips.
