Why are you here?

Thanks for showing your support!

What are you doing here???

whoa... you watch other origami??

Hi dude! I’ve wondered why you don’t collaborate with many others.

I'm really glad that you like this one, too! And thanks so much for your kind words, they mean a lot. I do put much effort into my videos, so getting such positive feedback really feels good.

Congrats!

Congrats on folding the model. It's definitely a more challenging one, but in my opinion well worth the effort. :)

You're welcome. :)

I'm sure the box looks stunning in white, too. Thanks for folding along and letting me know how it went!

I'm really glad to hear that!

I definitely prefer folding that way.

Don't give up. It gets easier with practice.

Same I can’t get it right

And I have been trying for 2 hours

Let me know how it went once you get to it. :)

You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it!

Congrats on your fold!

I'm glad to hear that I helped make the model easier to fold!

Hemant Singh good

Glad I could help!

What a beautiful, thoughtful present!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

Congrats! I hope it was worth the effort for you. :)

It might simply be the paper you are using. There is definitely a lot of stress on the points. Working carefully while adding the layers is crucial, but depending on the type of paper you are using you can only add that many layers. This is what 5 layers look like when I fold the model from 6 in / 15 cm kami: www.happyfolding.com/gallery-fujimoto-hydrangea-yellow_red_dreamy_paper

The same thing happens to me.Trying to fold past 5 layers results in a mess and the shaping is difficult because the resulting triangle is so little that you can not get a precise fold. I recently folded it with a piece of tissue foil and I didn't get as much wear as with other papers but tissue foil is expensive to practice on and it does get bulky the more you fold. I think it is just repeated practice. Sara has been folding for so many years and there are things that she does intrinsically that we don't notice. The more I fold the better I get at finding ways to make it look better. I also recently stopped really creasing and more pushing down the folds. I found when I creased back and forth I was getting much more worked looking paper than if I just pushed it down. The use of a bone folder instead of my fingers has helped a little also. Good luck with your folding and hopefully by this time you have been able to perfect your hydrangea's. I am still really knew to folding and can use all the help I can get, LOL!!

You're welcome!

Thanks - I hope not too fast. :)

Hope you enjoyed it!

I'm glad to hear that. :)

Thanks!

I'm glad to hear you feel that way. :)

Yes, I love it, too!

Beauty has its price. ;)

Thanks!

Omg same!

Yes, definitely!

You're welcome!

Thanks!

Thanks!!

Of course you can use this model as a wrapper for gifts to friends. I'm sure they'll appreciate the effort you put into it!

Which paper do you mean? In the video I use kami, which is the type of paper usually sold as "origami paper". I've listed a bunch of origami shops on happyfolding.com/shops - but you can even get it on Amazon.

Congrats!

Thanks!

You're right, there's some similarity - although the scales are the same size throughout. :)

Not quite. :)

Did you find a solution? Im stuck at the same part and even using the most gingerly touch it threatens to rip where im supposed to be grabbing

@@orianadunn4478 Oh, wow ... that's quite some time ago. I didn't give it another try, yet. I found the 4 layer design looked quite impressive already. I think you just have to go for it and test the limit of your paper. Sometimes this stuff looks super fragile but if you push a bit harder you find that it isn't quite as bad. That's something I noticed in several videos. I am too hesitant and too afraid to just push/pull/whatever just a bit harder. And if the paper tears apart you just have to start over and learn something from it. Even though it drives me bananas. xD

Hi, I had this issue too, but I saw another comment encouraging to check out her video on folding the hydrangea flower itself which gives more detailed steps, and worked out that where there was no flap to grab, it was because the folds on the reverse side (under the square) were not where they were meant to be, and needed a bit of tweaking. Hard to explain in words, but I definitely recommend checking out her hydrangea flower video as I found it helped me get past my impasse. Hope this helps you too!

I'm sorry to hear the video is too fast for you. Have you already folded the basic hydrangea? I believe if you know that model already, this video should be fine. As I already have a detailed tutorial on the basic hydrangea, I decided to only quickly show how to fold it here - as mentioned in the video. :) Just in case, here's the tutorial for the basic hydrangea: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNtleZN50sqXinU.html

I've got a tutorial for his Grizzly Bear: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hc2YmrV7yuDWcaM.html

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. Did you fold the basic hydrangea before attempting the lid? That's what I recommend.

happyfolding.com - enjoy origami online Eu faço origami intermediário. Não tenho dificuldade em fazer os movimentos. A dificuldade que falei foi sobre as várias acelerações do vídeo que, em muitos momentos, impede de acompanhar qual dobradura foi executada. Só isso. 👍🏻

I can relate ; - ;

Sara has several other hydrangea tutorials that show the process in a closer view. The basic hydrangea is the same when you fold it from the outside in, as opposed to the middle out. In this video Sara is folding from the outside in and her other tutorials show this very clearly. You can also slow the video way down to 1/4 time and that helps to see all the steps. Once you get the hang of this it becomes rather addicting .Sara also has a tutorial showing the low density, intermediate density and high density hydrangea models and that video has a link and a picture of the crease pattern. I stopped the video on the crease pattern and have now folded all three densities, (although they are a long way from perfect!!). I am still perfecting my accuracy but have learned to fold this from watching Sara's tutorials and I am a beginning origami folder. Hydrangea's definitely take patience and also help me to increase my patience. Hope some of this helps. It is well worth folding as it looks so complex and once mastered, is relatively easy. Sara is a superb teacher. Deborah

:)

Feel free to fast-forward or skip over parts that aren't as interesting to you.

I hope you still enjoyed the video. :)

Yes, it's a more advanced model. If it's a bit too challenging right now, try folding some easier models to hone your skills and then come back to this one. This is what I've done many times in the past, and it's always been so rewarding to see how I progressed, finally managing to master the complex folds that were too difficult for me before. In particular, I recommend you learn how to fold the basic hydrangea first: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNtleZN50sqXinU.html
