Origami 5-Petal Lily Printable Instructions
Origami 5-Petal Lily Printable Instructions
Let’s fold an origami 5-petal lily, a fuller take on the traditional origami lily . The classic version has four petals, and this one has five, which gives the finished flower a rounder, more open bloom. The folding is very close to the four-petal lily, with one real difference at the start: you begin from a pentagon instead of a square. Once you collapse the pentagon, the rest of the sequence feels familiar, and that extra petal is the only new part. It’s a good pick once you have a little folding experience behind you, and it doubles as practice for petal folds, which come up again and again in flower models. Cut your pentagon, work through the petals, and give them a gentle curl at the end. You’ll end up with a lily that looks lovely on its own or gathered into a small bouquet.
