Fold with Fabric: Origami Iris

The iris (or lily) is an ancient flower design and a good beginner model. Other flower designs you might try with practice include the lotus, bellflower, rose, dahlia, tulip, and orchid. For this tutorial, the choice is the iris.

To start, you'll need a few supplies. Because fabric is soft, it will need to be stiffened. To do so, use a water-based stiffener, which simply needs to be brushed on to the fabric and dried.

Other supplies: scissors, an iron, and origami paper to measure.
