Hi. For the sake of those friends who I am unable to meet, I try my best to help.

Briefly,
Level 1 - Ordinary Kawasaki rose (my folding methods - scarfree)

Level 2 - Modified model (with stems, leaves, central petals)

Level 3 - Gift-of-gifts rose (with stems, leaves, central petals, calyx, rounding effects) ie. Final complete set.
================================

In this series I am only teaching level 1.
I hope that everyone have origami experiences, as level 1 is advanced origami. (You shall see)

Even if you come to my teaching sessions, I will still need to take 2.5 hours to teach you the following series. Therefore by following these series yourself, you have saved some money at least.
================================

If you face any problem while folding, the friends that I have taught previously will be in this forum - yes1705, McRaurel, Moow. They have very good experiences and I strongly recommend them as well.

I do not sell the roses, and therefore the least I can do is teach you how to make them ..

From my experience, this skill can create meaningful sincerest gift for many wonderful occasions - Valentines day, Mothers' Day, Christmas, Birthdays, Anniversaries - or while even visiting a kind friend in hospital.

Sincerely, I wish that great kindness can come from learning this skill,
and I wish everyone great aspirations, great moments ahead with this skill.




================================

Please follow PIC-001 to PIC-113

Level 1 - Expected final product :



================================

Don't use photocopy paper - too thin and collapse easily. Use normal art papers.

Line 5 Ok.


PIC-019
Now for line 6.
Notice the highlighted yellow dot ? Line 6 originate from there.
Line 6 is the most important line of all the 12 lines. If line 6 is wrong, then the rest of the line 7 to line 12 will be affected.

Now for line 7.


PIC-023

PIC-025
For Line 7 , it's to be folded both inward and outward - making line 7 flexible to fold in either direction. ie. The same line is to be fold twice - clockwise & anti clockwise.


PIC-026
For Line 8 , go to "SHOW" side of the paper.

Line 8, originate from the this sharpest point. Line 8 is just a short crease line.

PIC-031
Go back to "HIDE" side.


PIC-032

PIC-033
Do line 1 to line 8 for other 3 sides of the square paper. (Because you cannot proceed to line 9 without completing other sides)

For line 9, this is the dot (see the pen) where line 9 is born - the interception point of line 6 & 7.

Fold line 10 for all the rest of the three sides.

Look closer at the small square made by lines 11 (Very faint at the centre).


PIC-065
Now for line 12.


PIC-066

PIC-067
Fold line 12 for all the four sides. Then it will look like this.


PIC-068
Now that we have fold 12 lines x 4 sides = 48 lines.
If everything is done correctly, the paper will float nicely like this (below), on the "SHOW" side.


PIC-069
After the 48 lines, it is time to do checking - 3 important checkings on the four corners.

Check 003 - ok. Just fold the corner downwards. Thats it.


PIC-089

PIC-090
Open up everything again.


PIC-091
Ok. Finally! Now we are ready to form .
Float the paper on the "SHOW" side first.


PIC-092
Watch carefully.

Lift up the model, go to the bottom side of the model.
(Side notes: All lines are created with reasons, eg. see line 11 at the bottom? If you are observant enough, you will notice line 12 and line 10 too. )
