Valentine’s Day Origami Rose! – Lesson 2
Origami Rose that looks like a real rose!
Valentine’s day is quickly approaching! So, in order to impress your boyfriend and girlfriend, or anyone special, I am going to teach you two kinds of roses.
!WARNING! – PLEASE READ
Before teaching you how to make the 3D Origami… Please remember that even for a skilled origami maker, it could take up minimum of 20-30 minutes to learn in person. When I self-taught at first, it took about 50 minutes to understand & make a crooked one.
If you are a beginner, you can also make an easier version that I mentioned in my lesson 2.5. Or if you live close to Grove City, PA, try not to learn from this, instead – I’ll teach you in person! – because if you just try teaching yourself, it’ll take you about 40 minutes to understand this, and 30 minutes to make a rose, and about 3 times to finally make a decent one. Really, for your interest to keep liking origami instead of killing yourself and wasting time on this :P
On the side note, I can also take orders if you’d like me to make bulk or any specific colors. We can talk about in details – contact me via HERE.
What you need:
Two sheets of origami (same size and same or similar color)
Instructions:
Hair clips
I hope you enjoyed making roses and I wish you a happy Valentine’s Day! Take pictures of your roses – and send me your ideas!

Thanks so much for teaching me how to do this when we were in NYC! I finally got it down pat, I don’t forget to do that squash fold any more and my roses are turning out fantastically.

Yes, I’ll be in NYC – whenever you would like to come visit again, I’d be glad to teach you any of those things in the posts! I’m glad you find those instructions helpful!!!

I tried this the first time on a small piece of origami paper and got frustrated. The next day I used A1 paper to first understand how it is done properly and with the help of the video plus these instructions I was able to finally make it! Thank you for teaching me how to make this gorgeous rose!

I have been trying for ages to make the Kawasaki rose–this is the only tutorial I’ve ever had success with, and I got it on the first try. Kudos and THANK YOU for a fantastic tutorial!
