In Western countries that believe in Christianity, it is also called the "Christmas Cactus" because it blooms at the time of "Christmas".
1. The front of the paper is colored and the back is white. Fold the paper diagonally to create valley marks, and fold the horizontal and vertical lines to create peak marks. After restoration, four creases can be seen.
2. Then fold the four corners toward the middle point.
3. What it looks like after folding.
4. Fold the diagonal line in half and form an inward folded structure
5. Then fold the corner pointed by the yellow arrow in the square structure to the left.
6. Press it down and flatten it.
7. Then fold the corners on both sides of the green fold toward the middle.
8. Restore the operation of step 7, leaving creases.
9. Then pull up the edge pointed by the yellow arrow.
10. Flatten the edges of the origami model from four directions.
11. Fold the small triangle above the green crease downward.
12. Operate the remaining three corners in the same way (steps 6 to 11).
13. Follow the arrow in the illustration and gently pull the upper part apart.
14. Fold the triangle above the green valley mark inwards.
15. Restore the upper top corner pointed by the yellow arrow.
16. Repeat steps 13 to 15 for other triangles.
17. Fold the triangles pointed by the two yellow arrows at the bottom together according to the green crease in the middle.
18. Then unfold the lower part from the edge pointed by the yellow arrow.
19. Next, fold the upper and lower parts of the valley mark in half.
20. This will form a style as shown below. Follow steps 17 to 19 for the structures at the other three positions.
21. Fold the triangle on the right side of the green valley mark to the left.
22. Green againThe triangle below the color valley mark is folded upward according to the position of the crease.
23. Repeat step 22 in the other three positions.
24. Then fold the right structure of the green valley mark to the left.
25. Fold the structures on both sides of the green valley mark toward the middle.
26. Repeat step 25 for the other three corresponding positions.
27. Continue to fold the structure on the right side of the green valley mark in the origami model to the left.
28. Then bend and fold the corners of the triangle pointed by the yellow arrow outward.
29. You can see the appearance of the petals, and the same process is done for the petals corresponding to the three positions.
30. Continue to fold the gathered petals in the middle of the origami model to all sides.
31. In this way, the flower part of the crab claw orchid is basically completed.
32. Now let’s make the leaf-like stem. Fold the paper diagonally to create peaks and flip it over.
33. Fold the lower left corner and the top right corner toward the middle.
34. Then continue to fold the two sides formed in the previous part toward the diagonal line in the middle.
35. Fold further to the middle.
36. Then make the three valley marks in the picture.
37. Then press inward with your fingers to make three creases at the structure pointed by the yellow arrow.
38. Repeat step 27 on the other three crease positions.
39. Finally, you can find a small hairpin to fix the leaf-shaped stem, mainly to fix it into a certain shape.
40. Use glue to stick the flowers and stems together.
41. Adjust it to your favorite style, and the beautiful origami orchid is completed.
The flower language of Crab Claw Orchid: good luck and good fortune.
