Our Remembrance wreath turned out quite nicely. Making the origami poppies was a good activity allowing some peaceful reflection and also requiring some focused thought. Looking back on the process, a lot goes into making an origami poppy (or any piece of origami). The folds need to be precise. The steps need to be correct. It can seem like a jumble of creases & geometric shapes until a final step turns that paper square into something recognisable & complete.
If you have made one of these origami poppies, what did you notice along the way? What shapes were created? What helped you make your folds precise? What skills does an origami artist need, and where else might they be helpful? Please leave a reply to share your thoughts & observations.
I love the poppies, they look great!
Thank you!
I had fun makeing them but when you have to pop it into a diamond i got a little frusterated thanks for teaching us mr.milloy!
I am glad you enjoy making origami. What do you think could help you with that frustrating step?
i don’t know it was confusing
I hope you will look over some of the comments that get posted here and can maybe come up with a question or two to ask about these problems. Maybe seeing some of the solutions others share will help you find a few of your own.
I loved making the poppies, they turned out awesome. Thank you for teaching us how to make poppies Mr.Milloy!
I’m glad you agree that the poppies and the wreath turned out so well. I do enjoy doing origami, making the folds, and seeing how simply making a series of folds can turn a square of paper into something fascinating, even beautiful. I hope we will see you do more with origami this year.
