This post is dedicated to Melissa and David... who have just brought home their own precious Lily.
I can't wait to meet her!
Lilies are one of my favourite symbols of Spring. While the real deal are gorgeous, this paper version offers a unique flair in every colour of the rainbow. Just pick the perfect paper to suit your style, decor, or even your mood.
Here's the how to...
{Get ready for a lot of pictures}
Start with a square piece of paper.
{scrapbook paper works great}
Fold corner to corner to form a triangle.
Fold corner to corner again, forming a smaller triangle.
Lift up the top fold (fig.1).
Push down towards the table surface(fig.2), creasing the edges (fig.3).
Flip over...
...and do the same to this side. You should end up with a square (fig.3).
Lift up one of the folds.
Open it up.
Once again, push the fold down towards the table, creasing the edges (fig.1). This makes a kite shape (fig.2). Fold in the corners (fig.3) to create a diamond shape (fig.4).
Unfold those same corners and lift up at the centre.
Tuck in the sides (fig.1).
Fold the top triangle shape up (fig.2) and then back (fig.3).
Repeat on the other 3 sides.
It should look something like this...
Turn to one of the flat sides.
Fold in each side towards the middle.
Repeat on the other 3 sides.
It should look something like this...
Roll the tips around a pen or pencil.
Ta da!
You should now have yourself a paper lily. If you don't, try watching this video.
Sometimes I like to stack 2 lilies together {sometimes 3 if I'm really ambitious}.
And I think they look lovely with my previous Scrappy Sparrow project.

ReplyDeleteAndrea - These are gorgeous! I have featured these today. Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up to the Sunday Showcase - I greatly appreciate it. Hope you have a wonderful holiday! ~ Stephanie Lynn
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing - I love lilies and I need to learn how to make them but maybe with fondant instead. Thanks for sharing - maybe my 9 year old can make these for me. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the instructions for the Lily! I am so excited to add these to the top of my Holiday Gift Jars at www.diydreaming.com.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Mine turned out horribly
ReplyDeleteI still mess up sometimes when I make them - and it's always when I'm using the nicest paper, of course!
ReplyDeleteHere's another video that shows a slightly different way to fold them...

Hopefully that helps! If you're still having troubles, please don't hesitate to email me...

ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendations on credit repair on your site.
ReplyDeleteA few things i would tell people should be to give up the particular mentality that they'll buy at this point and pay out later. Being a society many of us tend to make this happen for many issues. This includes holidays, furniture, and also items we would like. However, you should separate your wants out of the needs. When you are working to improve your credit rating score actually you need some trade-offs. For example you'll
be able to shop online to economize or you can look at second hand stores
instead of pricey department stores intended for clothing.
