The layered petals of the origami Lotus Flower make it look intricate and fragile, but the pattern itself is quite simple. A word of warning: the material used to fold this piece will make or break the outcome. If you start with too small paper, it will become too thick to fold around halfway through the pattern. I recommend starting with a 1'x1' piece to make a flower like the size pictured above, but the bigger the better! Also, avoid using thin or weak paper as it will tear when you turn the petals inside out. The petal-turning step creates the curved petals that make the piece so beautiful, but puts a lot of strain on the paper. For especially durable results, try using material or thick card paper.
