tutorial found here.
some examples found here.
and flick’r totally delivers photographic inspiration here.

The flowers are super easy to make; the only annoying part being that I decided to be eco and make these with recycled magazine ads rather than origami precut squares. Measuring out many, many, many 3″ x 3″ squares, and subsequently cutting them with scissors because I couldn’t find my exacto knife kinda sucked… but was cathartic at the same time – which I still need every once in a while.

Munchkin & her friend made about 7 flowers each before running outside to do something else, which is kind of impressive to me because they had trouble sitting still prior to this.
