I am going to try to follow your intructions on this thread to try to make roses... may i know where is a good place to get square art paper ? Popular ? I have to buy A4 size then cut it myself rt ? where to buy the leaves and stalk ? thanks!
We suggest you use brand new sheets of A4 white paper to first learn the folds taught through Formula11's photos and make the basic paper rose bud. That way, you need not be afraid to make mistakes and can practise more to get the 12 fold lines correct.
When you are confident and get all the 12 fold lines correct. You are ready to go Popular / Fancy Paper shop and buy the $1.50 sets of colour papers we would use.
We cut out the square paper from the A4 sheet. The square paper follows the breadth of the A4 paper you use.
Let's make this origami rose this one step at a time, when you have practised folding the 12 folds to make the basic rose bud successfully, we'll be happy to teach you how to make the leaves and stalks subsequently.
