Very nice papercrafting, too.

But not origami, which is the creation of designs based solely on folding, and doesn't involve cutting, pasting, etc.

There are some lovely ways to papercraft flowers- very intricate, including daffodils and carnations and lilies and daisies and mums and so many more. Google "papercraft flowers youtube" for some excellent videos.

helpfully,
Bright
