This page is for those who want the instruction to fold an Origami Lily with Six Petals.

 

There is a traditional origami lily that you can easily fold but this one has a limited number of petals, i.e., four petals. The present lily is a remedy for this limitation. This six petals version of origami lily simulates the real one shown below:

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 the origami star (*it is easier if the front and the back side of the paper are slightly different whether it be in texture or color).

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 20cm x 20cm square one.

There is an instruction to teach how to make a regular hexagon out of a square paper.

 

You can easily get a regular hexagon from the instruction.

 

This is the front side of the regular hexagon.

Love-Lily



Between the hands, between the brows,
Between the lips of Love-Lily,
A spirit is born whose birth endows
My blood with fire to burn through me;
Who breathes upon my gazing eyes,
Who laughs and murmurs in mine ear,
At whose least touch my colour flies,
And whom my life grows faint to hear.
Within the voice, within the heart,
Within the mind of Love-Lily,
A spirit is born who lifts apart
His tremulous wings and looks at me;
Who on my mouth his finger lays,
And shows, while whispering lutes confer,
That Eden of Love's watered ways
Whose winds and spirits worship her.

Brows, hands, and lips, heart, mind, and voice,
Kisses and words of Love-Lily,--
Oh! bid me with your joy rejoice
Till riotous longing rest in me!
Ah! let not hope be still distraught,
But find in her its gracious goal,
Whose speech Truth knows not from her thought
Nor Love her body from her soul.


Poem by Ante Gabriel Rossetti
