Origami Sakura Flower by Dasa Severova
Learn how to fold my new model - a simple Sakura flower, folded from a pentagon. I recommend starting with around 15 cm big square and using paper a bit thicker than kami, something like printing paper works well. You can also try with even thicker paper and wet shape it in the end... Happy folding!

Flower on the Crossroads by Dasa Severova, Origami Tutorial

This is the video on how to fold the flower on the crossroads, the model I created around a month ago. As there were several demands, I decided to make a video. It's not perfect, but hopefully, you can follow it. The base constructed in this video can be used to make different flowers/stars instead of the one I am showing. Also, it's possible to tessellate it. Let me know if you make it :) It's...
Origami Teabag Star, help

Following a question about finishing the unit for Teabag Star and joining the units, I recorded this short video. The diagram can be found in my book Origami Journey (available on Amazon), but as the unit is very simple you can easily figure it out even without the book. Just start with waterbomb base and observe what I am doing in this video. The model works best with patterned paper, that's w...
Origami Modular Lotus by Dasa Severova

Tutorial showing how to fold modular lotus, my new model which I discovered some days ago. You can use 6-8 units, the ideal size of the squares is around 7.5 cm (3 inches). Don't use too thick paper. Copy paper, kraft paper, and kami should work well. Soft paper is more difficult to work with, but the result will have a more organic look. Let me know if you manage to finish the model! :) Happy ...
Handmade papers made by myself

Let's talk about paper! The most important medium for origamists (and many other artists)... Some weeks ago I participated in a papermaking workshop in John Gerard's papermaking studio in Germany for the second time in my life. As I got my papers today, I was thinking some people might be interested in seeing them. If you have a chance to visit a papermaking studio, go there and try it yourself...

In this video I am showing how to collapse star Anise, diagram for which was published in my book Origami Journey on page 90.

How to Cut Regular Heptagon

Showing the approximate method how to cut regular heptagon, which I recently discovered. It's based on the approximate construction of regular heptagon which I found here: web.archive.org/web/20030405073052/www.geocities.com/robinhuiscool/heptagon.html (reffering to construction #5, for which the error is reffered wrongly to be 0.062%).
Very nice👍👍
Thank you for explaining every step! Very helpful. 🌹😊
Adorei o som dos pássaros 😍💖💋
Hi first of all, I appreciate you because of your Sympathy and I should say you I don't have prejudice. hijab is what our lovely and so kind God said not a person. Definitely I disagree with any Injustice but I say you hijab is not Injustice. I obey what our God said because God is wise and know better than me what is good for me . sorry i am not good at English .Thank you
can you do alternate flower tutorials please?
This is a wonderful star you made! [ By the way, it is my favourite connection type]😃
your models are really beautiful and your method to cut pentagon is perfect!
Thank you Maria! :) I only slightly 'improved' the common method for cutting a pentagon.
Very beautiful twisted flower at center!
❤ love this thanks
My pleasure! :)
Thank you, dear Dasa! It is so cute, your flower, and the explanation so clear (as always..)
Dear Renata, thank you very much for your kind words :)
Thank you for sharing your beautiful design! I love it ❤
Thank you very much, Jean! :)
Parabéns cores e detalhes lindos ...🇧🇷
That design is amazing Dasa and so important and meaningful for the beautiful Iranian women
Thank you so so so much for this! 💙 What you’ve done is amazing, and gave me goosebumps… Thanks for helping us get our voices heard 🕊️
Belíssima flor 💕💕💕🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. Gratidão imensa queria por nos ensinar
this is really beautiful and interesting, i'll continue later on hv to go to work ...
💙💛
Great video! 😍I also have a channel about crafting and am therefore always looking for new ideas and inspiration.🥰😃
Amazing, thank you for sharing! 🥰
I love it!
Great, thanks! I love your origami.
What do you use for painting? Acryllic?
These papers aren't painted with anything, they were made with colored paper pulp during the papermaking process.
Thank you so much! Love this Flower. Tutorial is very good!
Thank you very much! :)
you have a lovely channel. I hope you will post more tutorials.
Thank you! I may try, we see ;) :)
Thanks for the tutorial. I became immediately attracted and will give it a try. You said something about paper and what not to choose, but I wish this was more specific. What paper would completely give justice to the model?
Hi Laura, I would recommend something a bit stronger than kami, but not too much thicker. Kami works, but it can rip in the end because there is quite a lot of manipulations. I saw one folded from tant, that worked as well. I imagine, kraft paper will do too, even printing paper.
@@papeRain Thanks! I'll try kraft :)
So lucidly explained... An elegant model
Thank you! :)
thanks for this beautiful tutorial and design.
I am happy to share! :)
A beautiful design - thank you.
Thank you! :)
Thanks!
Dasa - I am trying to create your page 19 Teabag star. I got stuck on step 7 & joining units together in step 9. Can you create a video to help us? Linda Coffey
Hello Linda, thank you for your message! I just created a short video to show that step and also joining of the units. You can find it on my channel or here czcams.com/video/EZo_X7mYXxA/video.html. I hope it helps! :)
This is just the type of model and video I have been looking for. You explained everything so well. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words! I am glad it was helpful :)
Such an amazing tutorial. You are a natural teacher. Thank you for showing us how to fold this wonderful model. Deborah
Thank you very much!
O
I like your designs because they lock together really well and are really elegant. Unfortunately, I am unable to follow your diagrams. The video really helps me.
cute!
It's simple to be folded for me as beginner. Thanks you for the tutorial.
Thank you for the feedback! I am happy to learn that you were able to finish it being beginner :)
beautiful 👍
Thank you - that's a lovely model and your CZcams comments about how to do that slightly tricky shaping step really helped. Now I need to practice so I can make it neat as well as springy - that might take some time :-)
I am really glad it was useful! I know it's not easy to get it working and neat the very first time. I hope you get there fast :)
This is a beautiful model and I would love to try it but i have to admit, I don't read diagrams well. I am more of a visual learner. I was thinking about buying your book but feel like it would be a waste for me since I don't do well with diagrams. I thank you for sharing and it is lovely.
Hi Deborah, I reply so late, but still... It's certainly hard to guess if you would be able to follow my diagrams, I certainly tried to make them as clear as possible, but it's not easy with more difficult steps. Here instagram.com/p/Bi2tOuiBUAA/ is an example how I diagram things.
@@papeRain Thank you for responding. I am getting better at reading diagrams so I will purchase the book and try. You never know until you try! Thank you. Deborah
Amazing, and thanks, I will be uploading videos of origami from "The Origami Handbook" later it might not be soon though...
Great model..can u please show full tutorial?
It's quite likely that I will do a tutorial for this model soon.
The paper is really nice. From the sound i can tell that it is quite thick. What I like about it is the color, unique for each sheet 😊😊😊
I would disagree with you in that ;) the thickness of these papers differs quite a lot, but they are definitely on the thinner side of the scale. Some of them are really thin. For sure it depends also on what you consider being thin. There is only one really thick paper and that is the one made from cotton. But to tell only from the sound how thick they are isn't that easy. Many of them are also quite transparent... :)
papeRain thank you for clarifying this. And yes it is difficult to tell from the paper touching sounds whether it is thick/thin. You should give examples of how each type of paper fit what types of origami models that would be great 😀
That's a pretty good idea! I will try to do so and also as I gave some sheets to some of other origami designers, when they fold something, I can show that as well! Paper is such an interesting medium! It can changes completely how the model feels... :)
papeRain agreed. Paper is amazing and origami paper in particular can create incredible artwork. Do you sell the paper? I would love to try one. I mainly focus on origami flower design and the colors of the paper seem to fit with what i am looking for :)
Thank you, Dasa! This is adorable design! I've folded already three of them :) I have no problem with the last unit. But I don't try to open the unit with "pocket" completely and move tab in direction from the center of the flower to the edges. Instead, I open it partially, only move away from each other inner and outer petals, the pocket is in this case like a slot, and I put a tab in the slot, moving it from inside the flower to outside. It is much easier, I think. (I'm not sure I've explained it understandable, it's hard without photos)
Hi Anna, thank your for your comment! I think I got how you do it. And I can only agree. Still I was struggling to show it somehow here. And also when you use soft paper, the sliding doesn't work as the tension of the papers is too big and softness of it makes it impossible. But especially sith some paper types it works very well. I am happy that you like the model and that you were playing with it! :)
Wow 😍 😍 😍
Gracias Dasha!!! Abrazo grande desde Argentina
My pleasure! Greetings from Geneva :)
That is some good quality material . Love the crisp sound of the papers !
I haven't tried it yet, but I do hope it will fold well! And I love the sound too! :)
Beautiful 😍 😍 😍
Really nice design, thank you for sharing! :)
Glad you like it! :)
Amazing! Thank you so much!
My pleasure! :)
Wow, it is great to see you and your wonderful book! Thank you so much for the great help for the Action flower folding, with this new video!
