Origami Magic Rose Cube Instructions

First we have to thank one of our readers, Imre of Netherlands, for alerting us to this origami. Imre had written
to us saying he saw this origami online but couldn't fold it and wanted us to make instructions for it.
It has taken us a while to get around to it but this is a brilliant origami design by Valerie Vann. It transforms from
a cube to rose within seconds! It is really a cool design. We love it and we're sure you're going to as well!
Thanks, Imre, for writing to us and we hope you find these instructions helpful!

Made this origami? Comment and Submit your photo using the comment box at the end of this page!

Origami Magic Rose Cube Step 1: We'll start off by making the units for the "petals". We'll need 3 units of these.
These will form the rose so you should use a color you want for your flower.
Start with a 6 inch x 6 inch (15cm x 15cm) square origami paper color side down.
Fold paper in half on the vertical axis. Crease well and unfold.

Total time for origami: 50 min.
