How to make an Origami Kusadama Flowers:

Found this lovely project & wanted to share it with you... 

1. Start with the a square piece of paper.
    Fold the bottom corner to the top to make a triangle.

2. Fold both bottom corners of the triangle to the middle top point

    to form a square.

3. Fold the top two layers of the square backwards as shown. It is 

    important that you ensure that the folded back edges line up with 

    the edges of the square underneath.

4. Open the newly formed triangles.

5. Fold the top triangles over so they level with the edge of the paper.
    Cut these triangle flaps with a sharp scissors.

6. Fold the triangles along the existing crease.

7. Add a small amount of glue to one side and attach to the 

    other  triangle.

8. Your glued petal should look like this. 

9. Now follow steps 1-7 to make four more.

10. Gluing the petals together should not be a problem.
      Make sure you let the glue dry before adding the next petal.

11. The flower is completed.

How to make a Rose Napkin:

   
 

     Give your romantic dinner for two a practical twist with napkins folded into a rose-inspired arrangement. The "flower" and "leaves" are tucked into a tumbler and set at each place setting. Don't worry about making the corners meet perfectly -- a little unevenness looks more natural.

To Form Leaves:
 

1. Fold a square green napkin in half along the diagonal.

2. Fold it in half again along the long edge.

3. Fold it once more in half along the long edge.

To Form Flower:
 

1. Use a square napkin of any color. Fold the cloth in half along the diagonal. Place it on your work surface so that the longest side of the resulting triangle is at the top. Take the corner opposite the longest side and fold it up so that it just extends over the top. The top and bottom edges should be parallel.

2. Fold the bottom edge up so that it falls just short of the top edge. Begin rolling the napkin from one end. Guide and adjust the cloth as you roll to give it an even shape.

3. Slip the completed flower between the upper and lower halves of the leaves, and arrange in the glass.
