The Composition of a Rose and Paper Craft Tutorial

The rose, a flower both beautiful and enchanting, is composed of several parts, much like a human with a head, feet, and body. Let’s explore the ‘components’ that make up a rose. First, it’s important to know that the rose grows on a stem, which acts as its ‘legs,’ supporting the weight of the entire flower. This stem is also covered with thorns, like a ‘suit of armor’ that protects the rose from being eaten by small animals.


Above that is the ‘head’ of the rose, its flower part. The outermost layer of the flower is a set of green sepals, tightly wrapped together, resembling a green hat for the flower. These sepals are not only aesthetically pleasing but also protect the flower from harm. Next, we have the petals, the most visible part of the flower, arranged in layers to form a full bloom. The petals of roses come in various colors, such as red, pink, white, yellow.


.. Each color is eye-catching. Moreover, the texture of the petals is special, soft to the touch, with wavy serrated edges. At the center of the flower lies the stamens and pistils. The stamens, like the ‘male part’ of the flower, are responsible for producing pollen. The pistil, the ‘female part,’ receives the pollen and then produces seeds. Together, the stamens and pistils complete the reproductive task of the rose.


In addition to these, roses also have leaves and thorns. Leaves, like the ‘little hands’ of the flower, help with photosynthesis and the production of nutrients. The thorns, as mentioned earlier, are the ‘weapons’ the rose uses for self-protection. After understanding the structure of the rose, today we can try to fold a beautiful rose using a piece of paper.
1. Prepare a square piece of paper.


2. Fold it in half.


3. Fold it again.


4. Finally, fold it into a triangle.


5. Then unfold it.


6. Fold the sides inward to form a large triangle.


7. Flip up as shown in the diagram.


8. Fold down from this point as illustrated.


9. Next, fold both sides up.


10. Fold the middle triangle up as well.


11. Similarly, do the same on the other side.


12. Fold left and right.


13. Fold as shown in the diagram.


14. Fold the middle triangle up again.


15. Do the same on the other side.


16. Press down the middle square.


17. The top should look like this.


18. Hold the middle with your fingers and twist clockwise or counterclockwise.


And there you have it, a beautiful rose is ready. Learn to make it now.
