Conrad's Modified Kawasaki Origami Paper Rose - Tutorial v3.

This is the third revision of my video series to folding the Kawasaki paper roses. I have reworked on every detail to include the best viewpoint, tips, crease lines, and positions. Have fun and enjoy!
In this series, we will:
1) Learn to fold the standard Kawasaki rose by Toshikazu Kawasaki.
2) Modified the outer petals and base.
3) Stylize center of the paper rose.
4) Explore the beyond.
I have revamped the background music because the previous one was taken down sadly and surprisingly due to copyright infringement.

9 years later. This is still hands down the best tutorial on origami roses!

[@philipbrycen3381]

I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me

[@philipbrycen3381]

@Rafael Ismael I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@philipbrycen3381]

@Rafael Ismael It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account!

[@rafaelismael7928]

@Philip Brycen Glad I could help :D

[@AsuBeats]

totally agree. i remember folding this in my 2nd grade. Now coming back seems nostalgic

[@TravelcheaperwithME]

I appreciate your deliberate approach at teaching this technique. Your method of teaching leaves no room for students to have errors. Great job!

[@ziga1701]

This is a very comprehensive tutorial. It's really easy to understand. You show it the way anyone even without any previous origami experience can get it. Thumbs up!

[@jnip2010]

You are the best teacher I have seen on youtube teaching how to make roses!!!!

[@fairymama6902]

Awesome and amazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm going to be teaching an origami flowers class the day after tomorrow, and I think I will likely attempt to teach the Kawasaki Rose to my students. I'd never folded one before tonight, but thanks to your tutorial, I can now do it without reference, and with luck I'll be able to pass it on, and point folks to your channel. PS I know exactly what you mean when you speak of the excitement of folding one of these for the first time; my heart rose into my throat! It's truly an elegant and magical form, and pleasure in the hand how this form evolves into it's own life. Thanks again for being a most excellent tour guide!

[@draco4569]

This was by far harder than the original. If it weren't for my previous experience in origami (which is nowhere near as much as yours) I wouldn't have been able to pull this off. I've only succeeded in folding the original Kawasaki Rose once, and that was back in high school.

[@stephanie2120]

Best rose tutorial on KZbin. I have to agree. I'd like to make a request. Please. Add more tutorials for the different types of roses out there now. Please. Not only do you make this super easy to follow along, but you show exactly what you're doing, and how, and where, and its just perfect. I've found that paper roses are best for times when you need to give flowers, but don't want them to die, and with COVID, I've needed to re-look up how to make theses gorgeous roses to gift at funerals. This rose is still my favorite one, but that might just be, because the other tutorials available on different types are not as easy to follow along as this one! Thanks again! So very much!

😊

[@yanggirl16]

I love this!!! Looking at it I thought It was going to be really hard, but the reason why it was easier than thought was because you're a great teacher!

[@thomasmoncarey6509]

I wanted to make a rose for my deceased father and...it worked :). It was not easy, but I managed to do it from the first try (I admit, I only watched and tried part 1 and 2, but I have a great result!) Thank you!

[@barmycarmy]

Thank you so much!! I have tried alot of tutorials and failed but with your teaching method (and patience!) i finally was able to make a rose!!

[@jl5259]

Dear Conrad, Your techniques are EXTREMELY helpful for delicate papers (I am using 40 GSM), which gets thin very easily from creases and rips when making the centre diamond. Your trick is a life saver because it doesn't require me to 'pop out' the diamond into 3D, only to then flatten again, like the conventional way does. Thank you, thank you, so very much!

[@Alquimia92]

DUDE!!!!!!!!!! You got me right at the end!! With the small rose inside the bigger rose!! OMG I never thought on doing it like that! Beautiful modification, def. will try it this weekend! Thank you so much for sharing it! =)

[@GrensPoimandres]

This is by far the best version I've seen. I'm gonna try to fit a smaller rose in the center just like you did... hope I get the dimensions right. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@insertphrasehere15]

If you are using a piece of A4 shaped paper, once you cut a square off Of it, the resulting strip of paper is exactly the right width for a square for the internal Rose.It’s somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 (a bit more towards one third).

[@Flamvelation]

I was literally amazed at how great this rose is and how well you thought out this design. I love it!

[@PaulIngramMagic]

You took something that was perfect and made it even better, brilliant!

[@maximushowells7756]

Dead Impressed. have spent time and a half trying to learn a rose pattern. This alternative way of getting the first tessellation is spot on. I got a little over ambitious after getting it right first time with the video and tried it off the top of my head a few times. mainly kept tessellating the horizontal and vertical creases instead of the diagonals. But can now do it Sans-video after less than 6 attempts! -Much Kudos and Many Thanks.

[@kristi6915]

Thanks for this. I did have to pause it and "rewind" many many times but eventually I ended up with a lovely rose.

[@sayyahdina]

I have had the orikata for this piece for years but never been able to complete the final model before (words and diagrams fail to fully explain the process) Thankyou so much for this video!

[@philiprowney]

Make more videos, you style is relaxed and the speach is clear and sometimes quite lyrical. :0D

[@Tommy531Jed]

Very true...

[@keikotheone1]

Thomas Bautista i almost gave up, but with two or three more tries, i think i could make them look like his!. haha

[@duansong912718]

Rose is my most favorite flowers. I am so glad to discover your this valued instructions, I will try to practice it.Thank you so much.

[@katiabiasin9586]

ma chi sono i 112 non mi piace? siete più bravi? thank you Conrad Chou!! wonderful! you are special person !

[@MintEcho7]

Damn, I don't even know what to say. How did you even think to modify it? I guess you must know Origami very well to be able to be at the point of modifying already complex folds! Haha, well anyway, it's thanks to people like you that others can learn to make such beautiful folds. I really like your modification rose the best!! And also, you're so smart for putting in the tiny rose into the top area. That part made me laugh so hard. >w

[@cbmimilk]

I can't believe you made just one video!!!! Why don't make more? Yours is the better I saw ever!!!

[@LePetitNuageGris]

Gonna make your modification for my wedding corsage and my fiancé’s tie (he found a way to fold the tie so an origami rose fits in. Thanks for the video! Your mods are so much more realistic and elegant looking, although of course the original Kawasaki is still beautiful in its own right.😊

[@keikotheone1]

was a great tutorial! thank you for the attention to detail. i am going to use your design for my wedding bouquet.

[@lapressemusicale]

Wooooow, qué buen tutorial. Solo seguí los pasos con paciencia y obtuve una muy buena rosa al segundo intento. Hay que ser muy pacientes para ver cada tipo de doblez. Conrad usa muchas técnicas que hay que dominar antes para no cometer errores y lograr buenos dobleces. Doblar siempre desde el centro de la línea; no hacer dobleces curvos sobre líneas convexas antes de invertirlas; tomar siempre el objeto con toda la mano para sujetar aquello que se puede abrir, etc.

[@mrosethomson]

This is the best rose tutorial so far! It actually worked and it was easy!

[@fanaticayo]

wonderful tutorial!!! is the first time i can finish a kawasaki rose!!! lot of thanks!!! i´m from uruguay and i love your tutorials

[@lamaduck2899]

thanks so much dude I DID IT! its kick ass! the spirit of origami truly lives in you!

[@PAINTuRED]

Thank you very much for your excellent tutorials Conrad!!! You have the best KZbin tutorial for the very difficult Kawasaki rose. You are very thorough and well paced with clear, step-by-step instructions. Please continue the great work...it is a well appreciated contribution to free information for all of society!

[@VPGabrielInc]

I could easily see the model. You explained very well, And I did both of them easily. Thank you so much for this tutorial! :)

[@MegaPokeMusic]

Beautiful design! I finally got my Washi paper, DEFINITLY using it for this again!

[@MewkyRuri]

Finally a easier video that I understand lol

[@origamimadesimple2051]

Thanks so much, Conrad! I was finally able to fold it! Great job teaching it, by the way! You get a huge like from me!

[@lisameeuw3253]

In one go, speed at 50%.. awesome! 🙏 fantastic tutorial!

[@BusterKunScareCrow]

Thanks for the lesson mate. I was successful in completing the rose! Very helpful indeed. Thanks!

[@fro23n1cw]

Still my fav design

[@ninjacat508]

Fantastic step by step tutorial! You're a very good teacher. The rose is beautiful. Thanks so much :)

[@mohamedaliabbes6591]

Bravos Conrad Bon travail grâce aux maîtres de l'origami comme vous , cette technique restera à tout jamais vivante et plaisante pour beaucoup de monde .

[@hazelb3962]

An excellent Kawasaki tutorial. Thank you!

[@youyoumatong]

Excellent .The best origami roses tutorial.

[@exzylez]

Awesome! You got a great talent dude. I’m amazed! Gonna try this one and will give to my love ones. I hope my patience can coup up! Haha. Thanks for sharing this.

[@rickywelchel917]

Thanks Conrad --I haven't tried the rose yet but its what I've been looking for. Thanks for sharing

[@conradchou2004]

It's fine to have the parts loosened up. Crease lines have memory. Later, you will be folding all the corners together again as you cup it in your hand. You are doing fine^^

[@fernandoasuaje2398]

thanks you so much bro for this video.... now i've my first non-wrong rose in my life hahah

[@TuTRAN-fz7pn]

Hooray! Yes, I did it..easy peasy!

[@MINGDKING]

I've already mastered it, how ever I thumbed up for your way to explained it! With love from Berlin-Germany! :D

[@conradchou2004]

I usually divide the length of one A4 sheet into thirds. 2/3 for the large rose, and 1/3 for the smaller rose. yes, the exotic art paper i use came in the size of A4. you may use printing paper for easy comparison

[@Persefone3008]

You are incredible!. Your video is super clear and actually I was able to relax, the music is also great!. It is the first time that I was able to finish my Oringami figure with a tutorial video :)

[@draco4569]

That's impressive, considering the modified version of this rose was definitely harder than the original, in my opinion.

[@henh8839]

Some parts were easy and others were hard but over all, great

[@phoenix270381]

Such a great tutorial! Conrad you are a great teacher.

[@VentureCrew007]

I like what you were thinking about the opening xD You rock man.

[@linvenus6132]

..\ I

[@annabelqi8567]

It's so pretty and the instructions are clear, but it just looks waaay too intimidating to make, i still loving watching tho lol

[@pamgaleharvey]

Love your tutorial. Beautifully done.

[@Codrynae]

thank you very much for this tutorial. It was perfect. And I managed to make my first rose!! thank you very much. I have tried other tutorials but none was as details as this one and none actually got me anywhere.

[@SotosAlex]

What a meticulous tutorial! Congratulations! Great origami design!

[@ShelleyDavids]

Good video! well explained, I gave up around 12 minutes though, I'm not very good at origami

[@darianchristie3260]

Hi, it would be a lot easier to see the crease pattern on a blank piece of paper without the writing on.... (eg. 3:12 where you are explaining where to fold the corner... maybe it would also be possible to up the gamma so the creases stand out more?

[@NguyenAnh-bj9lz]

This is beautiful! Thank you so much! The best tutorial of origami so far!

[@MewMew811]

this is truly awesome, very easy to follow. Thanks for uploading!

[@Lolz172]

The ninja star in the middle always sank for me. xD But other than that, I did it~ Thanks for the tutorial. :)

[@edwardtiou]

Hi Conrad. This is an AWESOME piece. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

[@VerticalWit]

just finished the 1st one.. great tutorial.. thank you!

[@wefayouns20]

thanks so much for this helpful video finally I managed to make the Kawasaki rose

[@alexandrapestienko8660]

It's great.I really liked it. I tried to do it and I did it!

[@RenataNonnenmacher]

I'm very thankfull and impressed by your work Congratulations, you are an awesome instructor! :)

[@Ramix09]

my first attempt worked great! :D now lets do it with red paper, and try the mod after that! thanks for the tutorial!

[@mrskwrl]

Best video on the internet.

[@margaretmumford7479]

Fascinating and beautiful.

[@carlosprisse]

Nice!, very clever modification.

[@serload]

I tried the normal and the modified rose and I think the normal Kawasaki Rose is better, because it is more durable and easier to make. I could not make the modified version to interlock properly and the paper got torn at some outer parts pretty easily. But putting a small one in a bigger one is a very good idea and makes the rose look better.

[@hidestyle604]

you are the fuken man with the master plan , triple thumbs up

[@jaretandamanbarak7516]

FELICITACIONES POR SU HABILIDAD MANUAL, MUY BUEN TRABAJO CON LA ROSA DE ORIGAMI.

[@kinwaisiu9414]

wow, so beautiful. Just like real flower. Let me try :)

[@MrDamFERRAZ]

Conrad continue fazendo videos, ficou muito bom, se continuar ganha mais um inscrito... Parabens!

[@EMPeter]

In the description he says that he's using parts of an A4 paper. The size of the squares are 9,9 cm and 19,8 cm. I also used A4 but I divided differently. I used a 21 cm and a 8,7 cm square. It wasn't too small to fold

[@ako4928]

Thanks

[@donaldyap1380]

Damn love your tutorial, wishing you forever in love~!!!

[@Hablabajabla]

[@xristinapesiou2882]

It seems so difficult! Congratulations!!!

[@raffihehl]

I learnd very much. Thank you and make more videos.

[@ELau-rk5vb]

Thanks for the video!! I was wondering if you have a tutorial for the double-twist rose; if you don't, could you please make one? I enjoyed this tutorial very much, and I'm looking forward to future videos like this

[@EMPeter]

I've made it from your previous video, but I always had problems with the locking mechanism. Tomorrow I'm gonna do it again, and also help a friend of mine in creating it. It will be fun. Overall this video is great: you teach well the music isn't disturbing. I wonder if you intend to do other tutorials.

[@HoaiNguyen-gk4ik]
