      Naomiki Sato's Origami Roses - Naomiki Sato

      ROSES MADE FROM A SQUARE

      aSimple Square Rose

      This rose is a simplified version of one made from a pentagon. Beginners may wish to start with a piece of paper larger than 8" (20 cm) square, as this is easier to work with than a smaller piece.

      To make the Simple Square Rose, see page 24.

      ROSES MADE FROM A SQUARE

      bSquare Rose

      Adding an inside reverse fold to the Simple Square Rose creates extra volume. Here, the calyx is made from a square version of the Calyx D on page 66.

      To make the Square Rose, see page 31; to make the basic calyx, see Calyx A on page 37.

      cSquare Rosebud

      This is a square version of the Pentagon Rosebud on the page 8. This flower is clean, easy and satisfying to fold. The calyx is longer than on other roses.

      To make the Square Rosebud, see page 40; to make the calyx, see Calyx B on page 44.

      ROSES MADE FROM A PENTAGON

      dPentagon Rosebud

      These designs capture the moment when the rosebud starts to unfurl. For more photogenic results, add the rosebud calyx.

      To make the Pentagon Rosebud, see page 47; to make the calyx, see Calyx C on page 53.

      eBlooming Rose

      This design is similar to the Pentagon Rosebud on page 8, but is made more spectacular by folding back the outer petals.

      To make the Blooming Rose, see page 50.

      fRose with Pointed Petals

      This is the most stunning rose I have ever made! This design uses a larger piece of paper for maximum impact. Leaves and thorns add to the realistic effect.

      To make the Rose with Pointed Petals, see page 57; for the calyx, see Calyx D on page 66; for the thorns, see page 68; for the leaves, see page 82.

      gOld Rose Rosette

      This design, with petals that curl inward, was inspired by the roses at a friend’s house. The short calyx used here can be used for other roses.

      To make the Old Rose Rosette, see page 71; for the calyx see Calyx D on page 66; for the leaves, see page 82.

      OTHER FLOWERS

      hBellflower

      This charming 3-D design expresses the natural fullness of the flower. The front side of the paper faces outward on both sides of the flower, with the reverse side showing in the center.

      To make the Bellflower, see page 86; for the buds, see page 88; for the leaves, see page 82.

      iCherry Blossom

      My intention was to make a blossom with petals that scatter, but once the flower is assembled, it’s hard to make the petals fall off. This bloom uses an easy-to-make calyx, with shallow folds.

      To make the Cherry Blossom petals, see page 91; for the calyx, see Calyx F on page 94.

      jFrangipani

      These flowers, which originate in Central America, have a heady scent. The curled petals look complex, but actually have a simple structure. The yellow color is painted on.

      To make Frangipani, see page 96.

      kBougainvillea

      Called paper flower in Cambodia. The leaves are curved slightly to make them look more realistic.

      To make Bougainvillea, see page 99; for the leaves see page 102.

      DECORATING IDEAS

      lCoffee-dyed Roses

      To get this color, I dyed white washi paper with coffee; soak the paper longer for a deeper hue. This arrangement, using different types of roses, is nice when you want a natural table setting perfumed with the aroma of coffee.

      mRosebud with Calyx

      Here I used washi paper again. I enhanced the basic Pentagon Rosebud design on page 8 with wider petals and the addition of calyxes.

      nFlower Jewelry

      I made small versions of these flowers, using Tant origami paper for the frangipani and washi paper for the rose, and attached them to the metal earrings and the ring with a glue gun. You can add something sparkly to the center of the frangipani earrings as an accent.

      oCherry Blossom Display

      For a modern-art feel, combine cherry blossom-patterned washi paper for the petals with black washi paper for the pistils and stamens. Don’t be afraid to experiment with unconventional colors—you might create a masterpiece!

      pScattered Rose Display

      These soft colors were created using irregularly dyed washi paper. A scattered arrangement of roses in different sizes and colors is perfect for a celebratory occasion.

      Materials and Tools

      These flowers and their parts are folded from paper. Beginners can start with large sheets, around 10–14 (25–35 cm) square. Once you’ve mastered folding techniques, use fancy paper with color on both sides, or washi. The heavier the paper, the thicker it is; use the basis weight (gsm) and the ream weight (kg) to judge thickness. Duodecimo ream weight is 70 kg and the basis weight is 81.4 gsm. Essential tools are a knife, a cutting mat and a ruler. The other tools are useful for adding small details that will make your finished flower look more realistic.

      a) Tant This paper is available in many colors and thicknesses. Duodecimo with a ream weight of 70 kg is the easiest to fold.

      b) Vivaldi Produced by the French company Canson, this paper has vibrant colors and a balance of thickness and softness that make it ideal for roses. The basis weight is 120 gsm.

      c) Crapo Marble This Japanese paper has pretty, marble-like patterns. It is usually sold in A4 size, so it’s useful for making origami from paper smaller than 8" (20 cm) square. The basis weight is 85.2 gsm. If you can’t find Crapo Marble, use any marbled paper of the same basis weight.

      d) Origami paper Paper with color on one side is perfect for practice! Paper with color on both sides is easier to fold.

      e) Washi This Japanese paper is thin but strong, with a unique texture.

      f) Floral wire The higher the gauge number, the thinner the wire will be. For stems, use #18 or lower; for leaves, use #22. When grouping three leaves together, use #26.

      g) Floral tape As the adhesive is on the inside, first arrange the items loosely, then pull them into the correct position.
