Use a large rectangle of white or yellow tissue paper

- the exact proportions are not important but around

20" by 28" (500mm x 700mm) is a good size.

It is difficult to maintain accuracy. Fold slowly.

a will be the length of the petals

b will be the length of the trumpet

Pull the edges apart until you find the crease

Sink the point using this crease, and then

Things to try:

Use ink to colour the leaves and stem - it is

best to do this after it has had a couple of

days to dry.

Adjust steps 10 - 12 to make a daffodil with

longer petals and a shorter trumpet.

Try allowing extra paper at the centre to

make a stamen.

Try using the same method to make other

kinds of flowers - it is fairly easy to change

the number of petals, but it is also possible

to make double flowers, flowers with sepals

as well as petals, and so on.

Leave some of the corner loose at the top to form

the “sheath” part around the bend of the stem.

Squeeze the rest of the paper in tight.

Shape the other three corners into leaves.

Complete.

Hang the daffodil upside down to dry.

You can either form the bottom of the stem into a flat base

so that the daffodil will stand on a table, or leave it straight

and display the daffodil in a vase.
