If you're looking for an easy spring-inspired craft, learn how to make an origami blossom with this step-by-step guide. Make flowers in different sizes and colours to decorate your home or gift them to friends and family.
What you'll need
A square piece of paper. We'd recommend starting with 10cm x 10cm
Turn your paper so it's in the shape of a diamond. Bring the bottom corner up to the middle of your cross and fold. Repeat for each point until you have a smaller square shape.
You're finished making an origami blossom. Why not create a spring display to give to your friends and family?
