Here’s a breakdown of the steps shown:
- Initial Folds (0:00 – 0:02): The video begins with a rectangular piece of pink paper, patterned with white dots. The paper is first folded in half lengthwise, then unfolded. It’s then folded in half widthwise and unfolded, creating a central cross crease.
- Forming the Base (0:02 – 0:05): The corners of the paper are folded towards the center line, creating a shape resembling a boat or a house roof. This shape is then flattened. The top and bottom edges are folded towards the center.
- Creating a Smaller Square (0:05 – 0:07): The left and right edges are then folded towards the center, transforming the paper into a smaller square. The corners of this smaller square are folded inwards, creating small triangular flaps pointing towards the center.
- Developing the Star/Petal Structure (0:07 – 0:11): The paper is flipped over. The new corners are again folded inwards to meet at the center. Each of the four resulting triangular flaps is then carefully opened up and flattened into a diamond shape, forming a distinct star-like pattern.
- Shaping the 3D Flower (0:11 – 0:16): The paper is flipped over once more. The four outer corners are folded inwards towards the center. The entire structure is then gently pressed and shaped from the sides, causing the center to pop up and the outer edges to curl, forming distinct ‘petals’ or points. The tips of these ‘petals’ are further folded to refine the shape of the flower.
- Adding the Embellishment (0:16 – 0:18): A small white pearl or bead is carefully placed in the center of the finished paper craft, adding a delicate touch. The video concludes by showing two identical finished paper flowers, each with a pearl in its center, held up by hands.
The crafting takes place on a light blue wooden surface, and a white sheet of paper with a subtle green plant illustration is visible in the background. The video is enhanced with subtle sparkling visual effects and features upbeat background music.
