As a child, each of us collected paper crafts. Ships, airplanes, frogs are traditional paper toys. However, the resilient Japanese did not stop there. Origami is a whole culture, the art of paper plasticity. In today's article I will introduce you to one of the types of this art - modular origami. For some reason I wanted to remember summer today and I bring to your attention origami flowers daisy. This very beautiful, clean flower will look great in an arrangement on your desktop. After all, the warm rays of the sun emanate from it, looking at it, you always want to go on vacation. At the moment I will offer you chamomile origami scheme - the easiest to work with. When you master such a volume of work, you will definitely create another scheme, a heavier, but charming daisy according to a different scheme.

Already from the name it is clear that these crafts are based on modules, which, when inserted into each other, are assembled like a construction set. Therefore, the first thing we need to master is creating a module. To do this, we need a regular A4 sheet 1. Cut the sheet into 16 equal parts, as shown in the figure.

2. Take one sheet and bend it in half.

3. Once again in half and unfold it back. Turn the fold towards you

4. Follow the lines, fold the edges towards the center.

5. Turn over and fold the bottom flaps up. At the same time, we bend the remaining corners behind the triangle.

6. Unbend, folding small triangles along the marked lines, and again bend the flaps up. Fold in half.

7. The module is ready.

8. On one side it has a pocket, which we will need during assembly.

Don't be put off by such a long description. In fact, the module itself is assembled simply and very quickly. Once you figure it out, your hands will continue to twist the modules by themselves. Further things you need to know before starting assembly - the module has 2 sides: Short:

and long:

This is important because during assembly we will connect the modules along the long or short side. And finally, we move on to the process of creation itself. I will show you one simple scheme from modular origami. Having mastered it, you will be able to take on more complex models. The “Chamomile” scheme, the first and second rows will be assembled from 20 pink modules. When assembling, the module is placed on the short side, as shown in the picture.

We make the third row of 10 yellow modules, placing the module on the long side. At this stage, be careful that the tails of adjacent modules are connected. That is, we get a staggered connection.

After this, we turn our flower over and the remaining rows will be made in modules on the short side.

Fourth row – 10 yellow modules.

Fifth row – we put 2 elements on each module. Assembly takes place in such a way that the free pocket ends up inside. Thus, we will need 20 white modules.

The last sixth row will consist of 30 white modules. We put 3 elements on 2 modules, again the free pockets should be inside.

The flower itself is ready, all that remains is to make the stem and leaves. To do this, we need a regular straw and green electrical tape.

We wrap the straw with electrical tape, make leaves from colored paper or from the same electrical tape. We insert the stem into the middle of the flower. To do this, we squeeze the chamomile petals a little, and a hole is formed on the back side for the straw. It must be said that there is no need for special fastening; the stem will hold on just fine.

Make a few more of these daisies and you will have a wonderful spring bouquet. This craft can also be a good gift for friends and family.

Modular origami: flowers

In general, there are many types of origami. We suggest trying your hand at volumetric. To create such figures, a large number of identical elements are used - modules that are inserted into each other. The most commonly used is the triangular module. As a rule, it is made up of small pieces of paper, which are then inserted into each other. All module sheets must be the same size. 1/16 or 1/32 of the landscape sheet is most suitable. So, let's move on to creating modules:

As you can see, the module has two bottom corners and two pockets, so they can easily be inserted into each other. This is how origami flowers are created from triangular modules.

However, in addition to the triangular modules, you will need 1 kusudama module for the core of the module flowers.

  1. Fold a square piece of paper in half with the front side facing inward.

  2. Having unfolded it, fold it in half again, but in the other direction.

  3. Unfold the workpiece and fold it in half diagonally, inside out.

  4. We unfold the part again and fold it diagonally, but in the other direction.
  5. Having unfolded the workpiece, turn it inside out towards you.

  6. Using the lines created by folding diagonally, we fold the square.
  7. Bend the edge of the square and flatten it in the middle.

  8. Having turned the square over, we do the same with the 3rd edge, as well as 2 and 4.

  9. We bend 1 edge of the part 180 degrees. We see only its seamy side.

  10. We bend the edge so that the edge is along the fold line of the workpiece.

  11. We do the same with the 2nd rib.

  12. After this, the triangular edge between the bent ribs must be bent towards the top of the module.

  13. In the same way, in pairs, we add 5 and 6, 3 and 4, 7 and 8 ribs of the workpiece.

  14. We unfold the entire workpiece.

  15. We work with the wrong side. We begin to fold and assemble the part, as shown in the photo.
  16. Fold the remaining three corners of the workpiece in the same way.
  17. Our module is ready!

Modular origami flowers: master class

Now let’s proceed directly to assembling the cornflower flower. To do this, you will need to make 10 blue, 10 green and 70 blue triangular modules and 1 blue kusudama module. The assembly diagram for modular origami cornflower flowers is as follows:

1. 3 rows are assembled immediately:

  • 1 row - 10 green modules;
  • 2nd row – 10 blue modules, put on long side out;
  • 3rd row - 10 blue modules, put on the short side outward.

We get a small flower.

2. Turn the flower over to the other side and fold the 4th row of 10 blue modules.

3. In the 5th row you should put on 20 blue modules. This is done in such a way that there are 2 modules on each previous module. Free pockets should be inside.

4. Row 6 uses 30 blue modules. For every previous 2 modules, 3 modules are put on: 1 module is located in the center, and 2 side ones so that the free pockets are inside.

5. A kusudama module is inserted into the core of the flower.

6. Making a cornflower stem. To do this, we cut out the top part of the cocktail tube; we don’t need it.

Wrap the tube in green paper and cut out a leaf.

7. Insert the stem into the lower central part of the flower. Ready!

So, knowing how to make a flower from modules, you can easily create a whole bouquet of cornflowers. It is best to place the bouquet in an origami vase made from modules. This is a completely different story!

From the modules you can make a flower vase and other figures, for example, a hare.

Master class Craft product Origami Chinese modular Modular origami “Lotus” Paper Glue

We slightly raise the center of the upper six-leaf leaf and carefully insert the crown of our flower into the hole.

This is what the workpiece looks like from the reverse side.

It is advisable to glue the joint using a heat gun.

Glue the lower six-leafed leaf and bend it into the shape of a lotus.

And here are our leaves. We collect 6 rows of 39 pieces. in every row.

Seventh row. We put one module on one ray. Thus, there are 78 pieces in the row.

The next row, we put on 12 modules in the usual way, skip 2 rays, put on 12, skip 2, etc.

Then 10,9,8,7, etc. Now the leaves are ready))

We connect all the details and voila))) Our lotus is ready)))

Here it is in red)))

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who looked)) This is my first MK)) I hope I explained everything clearly))

Modular origami is more complex than simple origami for children and requires attention, perseverance, spatial thinking and patience. However, modular origami is not difficult to fold. The main thing is to be careful! Flowers in modular origami take pride of place. Along with thematic figures for the holidays (for example, an Easter egg on a stand using the modular origami technique), they are created from simple modules. It’s a little more difficult to make volumetric modules. For example, the primrose flower. It turns out beautiful and strict.

For work we will need the following materials:

  • square of origami paper with a side of 10 cm.

How to make a primrose flower in modular origami:

Modular origami cornflower

This article will talk about how to make modular origami. A flower scheme is a whole culture of creating different bouquets. The basis of the crafts are small modules made of multi-colored paper. This technique is assembled like a construction set and allows you to obtain various voluminous flowers. There are a lot of variations of the creation: roses, lilies, cornflowers, daisies, water lilies and even flowers in the form of three-dimensional balls on a thin stem.

Amazing art

Modular origami is the amazing art of creating three-dimensional figures. This technique originated in China. Thanks to small folded triangles, you can make various variations of houses, animals, plants, cars. Adults and children create unusual souvenirs, garlands, and Christmas tree decorations with their own hands. It all covers The color scheme is very simple to create. Its peculiarity is that the crafts are made up of various small modules. Such flowers are almost impossible to distinguish from real ones. They are decorated with rhinestones, sparkles, foil, and varnish. Finished works are used to decorate the premises of houses, apartments and offices. Bouquets are hung in flowerpots, placed in vases, on bookshelves, and window sills.

Preparing for work

The workplace must have a flat surface. To make origami modules you will need:

  • several sheets of A4;
  • pencil;
  • ruler;
  • scissors;
  • office glue.

Modular origami for beginners is just the first step in understanding this art. There are various more complex ways of making figures: development, quilling, kirigama, monegami, kusudama. For modular technology, paper or cardboard of different colors is used. A sheet of paper is drawn into several equal rectangles. To make the future craft larger, you can cut the sheet into 16 equal parts. If less - by 32.

  • 53 x 74 mm;
  • 37 x 53 mm.

Creating an origami module

1. The rectangle is folded in half horizontally.

2. Then fold it in half vertically. The workpiece must be returned to its original position. The result is two straight lines along which you can make a module.

3. One side of the workpiece is folded towards the middle.

4. The second mirror side folds towards the middle in the shape of an airplane.

5. The lower part of the workpiece is bent in an even line.

6. The protruding sections are folded.

7. The protruding workpiece is folded upward.

8. The structure is bent in half. Both sides of the module are firmly connected.

Modular origami for beginners covers various variations of creating crafts. Such schemes are very simple. If you follow the exact instructions, even a child will create an original craft on his own. Let's look at several ways to create flowers.

Modular origami: instructions for creating a lily

To create a lily you will need paper of two colors. You can combine shades to your liking. White and red, orange and gold, pink and yellow look great. You will need 85 modules of one color and 50 modules of another. To create the stem, you need to use green paper. You will need 39 emerald modules. In total you will need 174 blanks. This is exactly the amount that modular origami covers. Assembling the lily starts from the center. The blanks are connected into an even ring. 2 rows are created. Each of them uses 5 modules. Thanks to these details, it will be possible to fasten future petals.

To create a flower petal, 1 module is used in 1 row. Then in each row their number increases by 1 piece. In row 2 - 2 modules, in row 3 - 3, in row 4 - 4 modules, in row 5 - 5 modules. Starting from the 6th row, their number decreases by 1 piece. 6th row - 4 modules, 7th row - 3 modules, 8th row - 2 modules, 9th row - 1 module. Since we used 5 modules to create the center, we will need 5 petals. To make the stem, you need to alternate 1 and 2 modules in each row. Odd row - 1 module, even row - 2 modules. The leaf of the stem is assembled according to the scheme: 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1. The leaf is attached in the middle of the stem. Stamens are created from white cardboard. The material is rolled into a tube. Then it scrolls around its own axis. The flower is placed on the created stem. The stamens are inserted inside. The modular lily is ready! Another way to create a composition is presented above.

Queen of flowers - rose

A beautiful flower that will perfectly decorate a bouquet, this Modular art covers different creation techniques. The easiest way is shown in the photo. Let's consider the most difficult one in more detail. To create such a rose you will need 9 modules. Three of them have their valves cut off. Then they need to be rolled up. To do this, you can use a knitting needle, a tube, or a wooden stick. The long side of the module should be on the same level, that is, with a flat end. The corners of the remaining 6 modules are bent, creating the illusion of a petal bending. For the base, a small circle with a diameter of no more than 2.5-3.0 cm is cut out. The valves of the three modules are lubricated. Then they are attached to the base. Three more similar modules are glued inside. Modules with cut off valves are placed in the center.

The stem can be made from wire painted green. You can use a tube or stick, which must be covered with emerald-colored paper. The bud is carefully attached to the stem. To create a greater effect, you can cut out petals from green cardboard. You should get a beautiful rose (origami). Modular art recommends mixing these flowers with other types to create excellent bouquets. Usually, roses are placed in the center. Asparagus, bergrass, fern, gypsophila or ruscus are installed along the edges. Roses look great in combination with lilies, daisies, forget-me-nots, tulips and peonies.

Modular in the form of a ball

To create flowers, it is recommended to use double-sided cardboard or colored paper. It is desirable that the sides of the workpiece be of different shades. Modules of the same size are made of paper. Then they are given a three-dimensional shape. The corners are pinched and glued to each other. A three-dimensional ball is created from multi-colored modules. Rolled paper is used as stamens.

Tubes, sticks, laces and thin ropes are used to secure the workpiece. Professional modular origami covers various techniques for creating crafts. Kusudama color scheme is one of the rarest and simplest methods. If you strictly follow the instructions, you will get a bouquet of unprecedented beauty. Above is another way to create such flowers.

Origami is the Japanese art of creating objects, birds, animals, plants from a sheet of paper by bending it. Nowadays origami is available to everyone and it does not lose its popularity. We suggest you give in to the general trend and start creating flowers using modular origami for beginners.

Modular origami: flowers

In general, there are many types of origami. We suggest trying your hand at volumetric. To create such figures, a large number of identical elements are used - modules that are inserted into each other. The most commonly used is the triangular module. As a rule, it is made up of small pieces of paper, which are then inserted into each other. All module sheets must be the same size. 1/16 or 1/32 of the landscape sheet is most suitable. So, let's move on to creating modules:

As you can see, the module has two bottom corners and two pockets, so they can easily be inserted into each other. This is how origami flowers are created from triangular modules.

However, in addition to the triangular modules, you will need 1 kusudama module for the core of the module flowers.

  1. Fold a square piece of paper in half with the front side facing inward.
  2. Having unfolded it, fold it in half again, but in the other direction.
  3. Unfold the workpiece and fold it in half diagonally, inside out.
  4. We unfold the part again and fold it diagonally, but in the other direction.
  5. Having unfolded the workpiece, turn it inside out towards you.
  6. Using the lines created by folding diagonally, we fold the square.
  7. Bend the edge of the square and flatten it in the middle.
  8. Having turned the square over, we do the same with the 3rd edge, as well as 2 and 4.
  9. We bend 1 edge of the part 180 degrees. We see only its seamy side.
  10. We bend the edge so that the edge is along the fold line of the workpiece.
  11. We do the same with the 2nd rib.
  12. After this, the triangular edge between the bent ribs must be bent towards the top of the module.
  13. In the same way, in pairs, we add 5 and 6, 3 and 4, 7 and 8 ribs of the workpiece.
  14. We unfold the entire workpiece.
  15. We work with the wrong side. We begin to fold and assemble the part, as shown in the photo.
  16. Fold the remaining three corners of the workpiece in the same way.
  17. Our module is ready!

Modular origami flowers: master class

Now let’s proceed directly to assembling the cornflower flower. To do this, you will need to make 10 blue, 10 green and 70 blue triangular modules and 1 blue kusudama module. The assembly diagram for modular origami cornflower flowers is as follows:

1. 3 rows are assembled immediately:

  • 1 row - 10 green modules;
  • 2nd row – 10 blue modules, put on long side out;
  • 3rd row - 10 blue modules, put on the short side outward.

We get a small flower.

2. Turn the flower over to the other side and fold the 4th row of 10 blue modules.

3. In the 5th row you should put on 20 blue modules. This is done in such a way that there are 2 modules on each previous module. Free pockets should be inside.

4. Row 6 uses 30 blue modules. For every previous 2 modules, 3 modules are put on: 1 module is located in the center, and 2 side ones so that the free pockets are inside.

Some craftsmen make real masterpiece flowers from paper. Looking at them, it seems that we are unlikely to be able to do something similar. But in fact, there are options for making paper flowers that even children can master. And the option presented below is just that - simple, not requiring much effort, time and patience.

What you need to make a paper flower:

Colored paper (in this case, very convenient colored pieces of paper for notes);
glue stick.

Step 1. Making a petal

We will form a flower petal from a 9x9 square. In this case, blocks with sticky notes are indispensable!

Fold the square in half diagonally.

We combine the corners of the resulting triangle with its vertex.

We get a rhombus.

We wrap the edges of the rhombus towards the central axis.

We straighten the resulting workpiece.

We turn out the “tails” on both sides as shown in the photo.

We get this design.

We bend the “ears” extending beyond the edge of the diamond inward.

We wrap the edges inward along the existing line.

We wrap the petal, connecting the folded edges.

Apply glue to one of the sides to be glued.

Glue it together and get a petal.

Petals can be from 5 to 10-15.

Step 2. Glue the petals together.

Coat the end side of the petal with glue.

Glue the two petals together.

We glue all the petals one by one and get this paper flower.

The final look of the craft. Photo 1.

The final look of the craft. Photo 2.

This flower using the modular origami technique is very easy to make with your own hands. In this case, you can vary the number of petals, glue together the “stamens” inside the flower, and paint them in a contrasting color. If desired, you can add a bead to the center. Such a paper flower can become the basis for making topiary or an original element of gift wrapping. And if you like other flowers, then do not rush to leave our site, because we will show you how to make tulips from paper. In our opinion, the craft turns out very beautiful!
