video: don't rip the paper the paper: I'm about to ruin this man's whole origami

[@janetlam1894]

Then the paper does not have good grammar. It is a woman not a man.

My first few tries all ripped but after some practice i got it! It helps if you lift up the paper and bend it a bit before pulling

[@everettthechemicallyimbala7409]

All I can say is you are either Jesus or a freakin' wizard if you did this without the paper tearing

[@madelinecurran4038]

It depends on the kind of paper you are using and how well you work with that paper. Try the Japanese made paper that has a fabric feel to it. Art stores also sell handmade paper that can have fibers in it like the Japanese paper seems to have. These have more flexibility. The oil in my hands sometimes makes paper more flexible.

[@karenguerrero6445]

Same it ripped it is annoying

[@djhay_04]

use kami from a japanese store

[@EdgarAllensHoes]

dude thanks for leaving this comment. I need new paper, the paper I'm using is some cheap Korean dundermiffline crap xD

[@spaghetti7180]

I used really thick paper and tore a petal O o f Otherwise all fine ;-;

[@rebeccakeziasantosa7510]

hey guys, i had trouble with this at first (read: ripped all four petals), but it helped when i started counteracting the pulling of the petals with the push of my thumb in the middle of the origami, on the side where you're also holding down the pinch. try imagining youre trying to push in on the pinching side and pull the petal. it also helps to fold the petal up while you're pulling it out before pulling directly upward! hope this helps

[@tjsmith2748]

Lovely with a battery tea lite inside. I make these for tables for birthdays and other holidays...RWB for patriotic tables.

[@lavynx]

"dont rip the paper" well I'll get screwed now

[@jackcreaser7773]

R.I.P paper (it ripped like 500 times)

[@zoe.c806]

haha i see what you did there

[@jasmineowens2997]

Really? Well The Trick Is You Have To Pull The Petals Gently.

[@syuu2977]

lol I think I dislocated something in my hand after pressing down all that paper

[@MisokoFukumoto]

use rock, it's effective

[@rachelturner9018]

I cannot wait to see if my hands will work tomorrow morning

[@3llephant]

Hope you're ok dude

[@feninabaul7099]

Did this! The difficulty maybe level 2 but it was really hard trying not to rip the paper on the last part 🤭 After my 3rd attempt using a thinner paper, I was able to do it right. Wasn't perfect tho but that's fine 😊 Thank you for sharing this! Going to do more for sure 👌🏼

[@louiemortejo7255]

5:16 I like the goku part 😂😂

[@rachelturner9018]

Ha ha ha that's what that is

[@dawnwelch6579]

Wonderful vid! Been buying bunches of differing origami paper from our local DAISO store; amongst my most recent purchases was a pack of very thin, almost tissue-like paper one could still see some random fibers in! I was successful on my first attempt last night and my second attempt today...did some experimenting with other kinds of paper, but the very thin really did work the best! Don’t let its delicate-ness fool you! The earlier mention about this sort of fibrous paper being more flexible is correct! THAT being said, it really is key to still go slow with the pulling. Be patient; let the paper do the work!

[@jojijohn277]

Dear Paper Kawaii, I love this video, with Valentine's Day coming up I needed decorations. I chose to do flowers, but most of them were too tricky. Your video helped me a lot. You are amazing by the way.

[@paperkawaii]

+Joji John Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful! :)

[@traninhminh-eric9117]

If you guys having trouble with tearing the paper, my trick is to open the both side that you trying to lift the pedal up and then bend forward the 2 side and fold it back

[@marlofelix]

This method works perfectly with paper napkins - the larger the better :) A nice touch to the dining table :)

[@danielwies9289]

It looks like dumplings... BUT ITS SOOO CUTEEE ^~^

[@tjcat9193]

Such a lovely origami, seems so simple...totally fools you! I started doing these with napkins they make nice table decorations :)

[@madelinecurran4038]

Awsome. Nice pace to learn at. First lotus I've seen like this Good job. .

[@tiinantyhy3216]

Thank You for this beautiful tutorial 💟💘

[@rionxq]

your videos helped me alot when it comes to origami . Some origami videos fast forward it so i always have to pause and do it then unpause but your videos are slow so i was able to do it along with your video

[@samartcraft2310]

Thanks you for the video, most useful and beautiful 👍👍👍

I did it !😄 my hands hurt

[@YouKnowMeDuh]

5:17 lol, yessss

[@SongoftheLute]

Wow, I wonder if you could float these little flowers in a bowl of water.. Beautiful!

[@MightyTiger21]

If you color the parts that will touch the water using a crayon you should be able to. The wax from the crayon will repel the water and keep the paper dry. :)

[@paperkawaii]

That sounds awesome! 💐

[@hirokobelgica8657]

That is right hehe

[@ericlall9539]

I would actually try to make it out of tin foil so i could put candles in it

[@graceding3516]

SongoftheLute if someone made waterproof paper, you could it would be beautiful!

[@carlislejetubongen919]

I can tell this is much easier than the other origami lotus, this style makes it quicker and faster, the downside is that you need to be precise when creasing the corners and sides

[@isabellenguyen6029]

Guess they need to cut down trees more often😂😂😂😂😂

[@oladamiecka2731]

Yayyy, i did it. It is not as beautiful as yours but its still very cute! Thanks for the tutorial. 💗🌺🌷

[@via_embre]

The trick is to apply force equally on both hands, and keep pressure to the center. Be strong and steady, but slow. Do it right and it'll smoothly roll.

[@mikaylastephan7338]

The best way I’ve found to pull the petals up is just to slowly tease it, it takes some practice but you just have to get used to it

[@manda-rin-donut2517]

What kind of paper did you use? Yours seems really flexible. Loved this video! Thank you!

[@99pinki]

Thank you for the video. Most useful and very beautiful. ^_^

[@kaydennguyen9823]

Two words Be Careful

[@danielwies9289]

A tip, try to not use SMALL PAPER and don't be firm with the paper...

[@HaiItsMyFriendsnI]

Pull slowly, try to not be forceful.. you could try unfolding the paper a bit and letting the layer come up then refolding it a bit so it shapes it

[@vertigocatss]

It’s called magic

[@youtubedude3292]

It is called origami paper

this was a interesting fold it was great

I ripped the paper but found out that it's better to fold it a lot, I mean like all the way not forwards but downwards, if that makes any sense 😅, great content I subbed.

[@conniemorgan115]

that was pretty cool I just couldn't get it on the first try

[@EmoJoker]

Im on attempt number 6 i just csnt find thin enough paper

[@usagili]

That Goku was great haha

[@juanantoniondiokno1830]

What kind of paper did you use?

[@parrots104]

yayyy I get free paper! I print it!

[@whomyouask5448]

I found out the strategy to fold the flower petals where everyone is ripping them. You can see that they bend the tip of the petal in whenever they're folding it. You want to let some space out, so you want to space it out with your finger a bit, but not enough to space out the tip folded part. Then you do the fold thing. I don't know this worked for me.

[@jahanviatri3176]

Nice I like this

[@hafsasiddiqua857]

this is super cool i love ur all videos & of course can we use 15×15 paper ????

[@paperkawaii]

+hafsa siddiqua Yeah, might be more fiddly though! :)

oh OK thanks

I’ve already tried twice to copy this, but I’m having trouble folding and avoiding any tearing.

[@iliachel]

Open the fold up and just fold into the curved shape, then fold back down and adjust.

[@juliainiowa]

what kind of paper is best for this?!?!

[@toshi8050]

the second set of petals that you fold up went up too easy for me and they're flimsy while yours are firmer, i did everything else right i'm not sure what's going on with this step

[@anuradhaverma9232]

I did the same at first! So the thing is that when you put up the first set of petals, don't make the edges (the part where the petal rises from the base) a pointed corner. Look at the video and how they have kept the base slightly slanted/flat. Then slowly pull up the second set of petals. When you turn over the lotus to see the base, it should be closer to a circle/octagon instead of a square

[@starcharmed]

if I use 15cm paper, how big should the small paper be?

[@starcharmed]

Nevermind, I got it.

[@gwendolinebeck2110]

Hi , I love your videos , is what you could do a Koi carp orgami please ?

[@paperkawaii]

Sounds interesting, maybe! 🙂

[@gwendolinebeck2110]

[@evanafatemamim7815]

which size of paper did u use?I am confused because in the video there was written 20×20 cm but in the description you wrote 21×21cm so plz tell me

[@paperkawaii]

It's because I couldn't remember, but either size is fine :)
