This gum wrapper origami rose is gorgeous, and the making process is simple and interesting. You only need to prepare 10 pieces of gum wrapper. Through simple folding, each piece of paper will be folded into an independent unit, and finally, the 10 units will be pasted together to roll into a rose. In addition, we will also make a flower stem and a leaf to make this rose more complete and vivid.

Material
Prepare 10 rectangular gum papers. One piece of 5*5cm square paper for folding a leaf, and one piece of 10*10cm square paper for folding a flower stem.
You are free to use any other color paper.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Take out a piece of paper and place it with the desired display side face down to begin folding. Fold the top edge downward along the horizontal dotted line, then fold the left and right edges to align with the bottom edge, getting a triangle on each side.
Next, fold the left corner of the left triangle to meet its right corner, and fold the right corner of the right triangle to meet its left corner.
Step 2
Fold the remaining nine gum rappers in the same manner above.
Step 3
Glue two of the units together side by side.
Step 4
Glue the remaining units in the same way to get a row.
Step 5
Roll this row from the left end and apply glue on the right end to secure it well.
Please be careful not to roll it too tightly, as this will make later shaping difficult.
Step 6
Rotate the model 90 degrees from front to back. To shape this rose flower, curl each petal outward and downward to give the rose a natural look.
Step 7
To make the stem, roll the 10*10cm square paper into a paper stick and apply glue to secure it well.
Step 8
Apply glue on the top of the stem and assemble the flower and stem.
Step 9
Check our guide on How to Make an Easy Origami Leaf, and use the 5*5cm square paper to make one.
Step 10
Glue the leaf on.
