Here’s my latest modular flower design! 🌺 Designed and folded May 2026 from six 3” (7.5cm) squares of back-coated mulberry paper. This model was a result of doodling during CFC6. It can be folded from 5 or 6 units and the units are extremely simple to fold. Assembly is tricky and requires small clothespins, but it is very sturdy on its own once all units are assembled. I’ll post more variations of this flower soon. I can’t decide which I like the best. Naming suggestions are welcome as well. Let me know what you think! 😊

I learnt how to fold this star during one of Evan's classes at the Origami Deutschland 2026 Convention in Bonn. This model is folded from 8 squares of green/gold duo kraft paper, each measuring 72.5mm. The completed model measures approximately 10.5cm at its widest point.

This is one of my favourite models in [Maria's Zen Origami](https://www.ezorigami.com/books/zen-origami-4a2e) book. It's folded from thirty 2:3 rectangles, of patterned paper, each measuring 2" x 3" (50.8mm x 76.2mm). The overall model measures approximately 12cm (4.75"), at its widest point.

I folded this model quite a long time ago, but never found a suitable method of backlighting it, until now. I particularly like the effect that backlighting the model gives. By placing a sheet of glass over the model (thus flattening it), I was able to get more defined colour changes, but decided that I preferred the softer lighting. It's folded from one square of orange kami, measuring 30cm. The overall model measures 15cm, side to side. To date, this is the most levels that I've managed to fold on an Hydrangea.

This model was a test fold, before I folded Infinity in a [nicer paper](https://www.ezorigami.com/folds/8-stage-infinity-79ea). It seemed a shame not to share it, especially as I was able to fold 10 stages. It's folded from 80 squares of green kami. Paper for the largest stage measures 150mm, and paper for the tenth stage measures just 13.52mm! The overall model measures 300mm between points.

This model is folded from 8 squares of red/gold duo kraft paper, each measuring 72.5mm. The completed model measures approximately 10cm at its widest point. I alternated the starting side of paper, for each unit, to give the pinwheel effect shown.
