Origami Floral Swirls Printable Instructions

Floral Swirls is a modular origami model designed by Madhura Gupta. It’s built from just one circle of paper, divided into four units, which interlock to form this smooth, flowing, pinwheel-like flower. It’s a very easy and satisfying model to fold, and the final result is light, elegant, and surprisingly sturdy. As you can see in the photo, the curved petals tuck into one another in a gentle spiral that catches the light beautifully. It makes a lovely decoration for a gift, a table setting, or even a handmade card.
