How to fold an origami lavender

Fold a purple diamond into a long slim point at both ends, then bend it in half at a slant so two spikes stand side by side.

You need: 1 square sheet, purple on one side, and a black pen. Easy, 6 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Make a kite. Purple side up, turn it like a diamond. Fold the two top edges behind so they meet on the middle line.
  2. Slim the bottom. Fold the two bottom edges behind to the middle line too. Now it has a point at both ends.
  3. Slimmer at the top. Fold the new top edges behind to the middle line again.
  4. Slimmer at the bottom. Fold the new bottom edges behind to the middle line too. A long, very thin spike.
  5. Make two spikes. Fold the bottom half up at a slant through the middle, so its point stands up next to the top point. Two spikes!
  6. Stand them up. Turn it a little so the two spikes lean out evenly, like a V.

Smells lovely!

Draw little buds in rows up each spike and a bow where they meet.
