Origami flowers! Help me choose.....

Arquard, 16 September, 2010 at 11:27 Posted on Planning 0 9

I'm using goldfish bowls filled with origami flowers as part of the table centrepieces but can't decide what style of flower to go for! I've googled some images and shoved them onto an inspiration board to get an idea of how they compare but I still can't pick! Any suggestions?


They're going to be made from varying shades and textures of silver paper and the bowl may or may not have hunter green glass beads in the bottom. Haven't got that far yet!

Something like this but with more flowers in it:

    I like the tulips & think they would work best in the fishbowl.

    OMG i love it and may have to steal your idea!!! (i hope thats ok Smiley smile )

    I love all of the flowers especially the roses and lily's but there both my fav flowers.

    Are you having a bouquet? What flowers are you having in it? Could you co-ordinate the flowers to match?

    Haha, well it looks like the tulip has come out on top with the jasmine a close second. I think I possibly prefer the jasmine myself, but I'm going to have a bash at each of them and see what I'm better at making. Will flash again with my own versions soon.........

    Think i may have to steal your idea also lol

    I am so impressed with all these origami flowers. It amazes me to think how somwone came up with these from foldong paper. I tried to make a few last night. I did however give up on the rose lol is it me or is it quite bloomin hard???

    I am having candelabras for my table centres like this

    I have been trying to think what to put on the centre bit, other than flowers that will cost a fortune. If i can master the origami then i am gonna try making posies for the centres. What do you think? Its gonna be a long year practicing lol
