Fun time Flower Friday! Origami flowers

The Clare Florist Team have decided to try our hands at making flowers today! Yes, that's right making flowers - out of paper - So I thought I'd share our flower origami with you. Deep_in_thought

The_boss_folding It certainly made our weekly meeting more interesting, everyone had a go and got really quite involved.

Our first attempts (especially mine) left a lot to be desired, with our flowers looking like; well waste paper to be honest!

First_attempts


Being the determined Clare Florist Team that we are, perseverance Claire_dave_competing was the key and after a while our origami flower experts turned out to be Claire and Dave who ended up competing to make the best origami lily.  


With the paper folding in full swing, we soon had an origami

Lily Arrangement. The first paper flower bouquet that I have seen.
