How do I make a simple origami orchid?

• The two videos I've found either don't make the kind of orchid I want or it's way too complicated and hard to follow. I tried following the step-by-step instructions but I don't understand what it's telling me to do. Does anyone know where I can find some simple instructions for an origami orchid? I'm determined to learn so I can make a bunch for my wedding in July.

• Answer:

  What the videos frequently do is use larger, heavier paper (not origami paper) for the demonstration (so it is easier to follow) but they results can look 'off'.' Here's a step by step for a the 'golden slipper' orchid, which you would affix to a straw stem. http://dev.origami.com/images_pdf/orchid.pdf For videos, I recommend that you search for those by origami artist and graphic designer Robert Segundo on e-how. Orchids really are difficult. He has seventeen videos just on the orchid.
