How to fold an origami pansy

Round a purple square into the two big top petals and a yellow square into the bottom petals, glue them together and ink the dark middle.

You need: A 15 cm purple square, a 10 cm yellow square, glue and a black pen. Medium, 7 steps, about 8 minutes.

Steps

  1. Top petals: fold the bottom. Purple side up, fold the bottom edge behind, about a quarter of the way up.
  2. Top petals: round it. Fold all four corners behind a good way, so it is a wide rounded shape.
  3. Top petals: round more. Fold the four new corners along the top and bottom behind, just a tiny bit each.
  4. Bottom petals: new sheet. Set it aside. Take the yellow square, yellow side up.
  5. Bottom petals: round it. Fold all four corners behind a good way, so it is round too.
  6. Bottom petals: round more. Fold the eight new little corners behind a tiny bit too.
  7. Glue it together. Glue the purple petals behind the top half of the yellow ones, so purple peeks out above and at the sides.

Pansy face!

Colour a dark middle with lines spreading out like whiskers, and a tiny white dot in the very centre.
