Lay a regular 8½ x 11 paper on a flat surface. Then fold the left corner down to the right side. Make sure the corner is creased at the very tip.
Next, using a pair of scissors, cut out the bottom rectangle part of the paper. You'll end up with a perfect square of paper that's ready for this easy paper tulip crafting project!
Unfold the paper to get a perfect square and then fold the opposite corner (this time to the upper right corner) to the lower left corner and then unfold it. This should create diagonal creases on your paper as shown in the picture below.
Now fold the square paper in half, and then unfold it again.
Next, bring the left and right creases to the center and the paper should collapse into a triangle.
Fold both the left and the right corner flap up to the top corner. Flip the tulip over and repeat the same steps on the other side.
Finally, tuck the right flap into the left flap as much as possible. Flip the tulip over and repeat the same step with the other side.
Now spread the flaps apart. Hold both flaps and gently blow some air into the opening for the tulip to open up.
Fold or curl the petals of the paper tulip down.
