This page is for those who want the instruction to fold an origami hydrangea flower.

 

This origami hydrangea flower starts from a square base. One special folding technique that you need to apply for this model is a squash-fold.

 

If you are ready, then let's get started.

 

If you find any bugs on this instruction, please send an email to HyoAhn's email.

 

You may use any kind of paper to fold this origami hydrangea. Here I am using the same color paper for both the front and the back sides. But you could use one side color only paper without any problem. Make sure the paper that you use is a square (all sides are equal and all the angles equal 90 degrees). The paper I am using here is 8cm x 8cm square one.

Pink Hydrangeas



Pale pink hydrangeas cheered up drain-grey city streets
This morning as I, tired, trudged grudgingly to work,
A blob of brightness, that a laughing abstract artist
Daubed on his pallid canvas to provoke some puzzlement
Amongst the casual weekend-wasting gallery goers
But, like the impish impressionist¡¯s intent to catch the eye
And impel the absent-minded passerby to pause,
Those garish bracts bewitched my once-distracted gaze
To glimpse the other pinks that hid, apologetically,
Beside the drab-stone, slab-stone, flagstone pavement
And, as shy roses, wilful willow-herb and brazen buddleia
Emerged to lilt their pastel-petalled counterpoint
Beneath the humdrum drumbeat of a London morning,
My tiresome trudge to work became a waltz
Amongst the hidden floral harmonies of urban life.


Poem by C Richard Miles
