The following is an introduction to the origami method of carnations. Carnations are one of the most popular cut flowers and can be used in flower arrangements, corsages, and more. In 1907, Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, USA, used pink carnations as a symbol of Mothers Day. In Europe, carnations were once used to treat fevers. In the Elizabethan era, they were also used as a spice additive for wine and ale to replace the more expensive cloves. For specific DIY methods, please refer to the graphic tutorial below. Don’t forget to give this carnation to your dear mother after you finish it. This is an authentic handmade work!
