Then 2 green or 3 white parts are embedded in 1 green. All the blanks are folded parallel to each other and tied in the middle with a thread.
This is the basis.From the center, these petals are distributed in equal intervals, until a circle is obtained. Then the edges turn up one by one, creating flower petals. First, the top elements, then go to the bottom.

Origami waterlily in 15 minutes. Scheme
Another popular water lily pattern in classicorigami style. Everything is done without scissors. For crafts you need only one piece of paper, it is desirable to take a large sheet of A4, and cut a square. From one square it turns out such an odd job.
So, how to make an origami “water lily”? Will have to navigate according to the standard graphical scheme.
The first step in the folding process is two times.bend the square in half and bend the corners to the middle. Then marks are made for the following steps. The paper flexes along the lines shown in step 3. And then these corners are folded into a “pocket” in the form of a rhombus with even angles. The edges of the rhombus should be tucked so that they are not visible.
The following steps are performed on the other side.paper. Therefore, we turn the sheet over and make small deflections, such as in step 7. Again, turn the workpiece and proceed to the final steps, shown at numbers 8 and 9. That is, we twist the petals and give them the desired shape of the lotus.

Water lily paper. Wet origami technique
Some lovers prefer the technique of wetorigami when make flowers. Origami paper water lily made in this way very much resembles a real flower. But working with such paper is more difficult. Paper is chosen a certain density. During folding, the sheets are coated with a slightly damp sponge or sprayed. But the paper should not be literally wet. The parts slightly moistened in this way are assembled according to a pattern, and then they are gently laid. When such an origami water-lily dries out, all those oval transitions and curves that they wanted to give it are preserved.
But you need to be extremely careful, because wetpaper tears easily. And it develops only in one or 2 layers. The volume is given to the model by overlaying layers of paper, rather than repeated bending, as in the classic origami.
Modular origami
What is interesting about modular origami "water lily"?This model is definitely one of the most beautiful origami. To build such a voluminous magnificent water-lily, you need to prepare quite a few modules, of which all such crafts are usually built. For the base of the flower green elements are taken - they need to be made 318 pieces; 300 elements are made for the flower itself.
You can do as shown in the picture:red flower with a dash of yellow paint. But it is better to confine to a single-colored flower, until an amateur learns to add a pattern smoothly and without errors. After all, it is desirable that the scheme "settled" in the head, and then freely create your own drawings.
We carry out a green sheet support.It is made of 6 equal lozenges fastened together. We start with 1 detail, with each row we increase their number to 7. From the eighth row, we reduce the number of elements again to one. We apply the same scheme to each of the 6 lower lobes. They are combined at the base with 3, 4 modules.
We proceed to the assembly of the main flower.In the same way as the lower petals were created, we make the first elements of the flower. We connect two parts to the first module of the earthen, we attach 3 elements of the third row to them. So up to 5 rows, and then again combine into one element in the last row.
Add petals to free spaceother modules along the same lines. After each row, the elements are slightly folded into a kind of cocoon so that the shape looks like a real flower. We finish, until the details run out. In the center sometimes another small flower of a different color is made.
