Let's get folding!

I used a solid red sheet of square origami paper for this tutorial.

If you don't have square paper, you can always make a regular paper square by cutting it.

1. Fold the paper in half twice from the edges

Fold the paper in half from edge to edge and then unfold it.

From the opposite edges, fold the paper in half once again.

Unfold it again to reveal the creases you made and move to the next step.

2. Fold the paper in half twice from the points

It is best to complete this second set of folds on the opposite side of the first step folds.

Fold the paper in half from point to point and then once more from the opposite ends.

3. Bring the middle edges together and then top down over them

Fold the paper into a triangle by sandwiching the two middle triangles between the top and bottom.

You have now folded the origami waterbomb base, one of the many common bases that can be used for many different desgins.

4. Fold the upper layer of the bottom points to the top

Fold the lower points diagonally to the upper point.

This fold will also match the bottom edges with the vertical center crease.

5. Open the flaps and squash fold them down evenly

Open one flap at a time and then squash fold them down from point to point.

6. Fold the bottom middle points diagonally in half

Grab the bottom middle corners and fold them in half diagonally.

7. Fold the center flap up, directly in half

Take the very center flap and fold it in evenly in half upwards.

8. Flip over and repeat steps 4-7 on the back

Follow steps 4-7 again to fold this side the same way as the first.

9. Fold the paper in half twice from the points

Flip the paper on its side and open it by pressing it down flat.

Follow steps 4-7 again to fold this side the same way as the last two.

10. Repeat these same folds on the last unfolded side

If you flip the paper over, you should be on the final unfolded side of the four.

Follow steps 4-7 again to fold this side the same way as the last three.

11. Open the bottom and fold it flat

Unfold the bottom completely, which is the side opposite of the point, to get it nice and flat.

This flat side will be the base of this rose.

12. Open up the two pockets on the top and twist to shape it

After opening the pockets, hold the base with one hand and rotate the top of the rose in one direction to give it shape.

The yellow dots show the best finger placement in the picture.

Twist it until you can at least get the outer petals somewhat symmetrical.

13. Finish shaping the rose

You can get a little better shape on the center of the rose by just twisting the very tip in the center.

Keep twisting until you like the shape, and then even out the petals the best you can.

You can also bend and close the outer petals if you want more of the condensed rose look.
