fold something

This origami video shows how to make a lotus flower out of six separate sheets of paper. There is a way to make a lotus out of just one sheet, but I think this fold is a little easier and looks better because you can make the petals and leaves different colors.

Materials:

1. You will need six rectangular sheets (the sheets I use in this video are 4cm x 7cm, but you can use any size proportional to those dimensions. yes, origami and math go hand in hand).
   1. 3 of the sheets will become petals (choose a color)
   2. 3 of the sheets will become leaves (choose a different color)
2. You will need something to bind the sheets together. In this video, I use a small piece of yellow pipe cleaner so it will look like pollen when viewed from above. Some alternative binding materials are:
   1. rubber band
   2. twist tie
   3. string or yarn (you'll need to tie it)
