Folded orchid petal pattern / LETTER
A good fit for your idea?
Letter and A4 preserve the component dimensions. Choose the sheet you will print, not a different object size.
Materials and construction
Plain 100 to 140 gsm paper for a first dimensional trial; approximately 160 to 220 gsm card only after confirming the folds. Use a ruler, suitable scissors, a blunt scoring tool and a small amount of paper adhesive. An adult should handle internal cuts, holes and small fasteners.
Before making a batch
Measure the 50 mm reference and two named component dimensions.
Make a complete empty trial and document fold direction, joining order, collision, stability and any fragile features.
Repeat the trial using your chosen paper. Check that every join holds and each moving part works freely before decorating.

Three sepals, two broad petals and one lip plus a 36 mm backing disc.
From file to finished page
- Cut the named components and keep their printed order. Score only the marked dashed folds.
- Gently curve the three narrow sepals and two broad petals over a pencil. Fold the smaller lip along its marked center.
- Place the three sepals around the 36 mm backing disc, add the two broad petals above them, then attach the lip at the center front. Keep adhesive near the center of each piece.
- Let the bloom dry before lifting it by the backing disc. Check the finished spread and any weak central joins.
Printing and use notes
Drawing dimensions describe flat paper surfaces, not verified internal capacity, load strength, fit or material compatibility.
No mailing, food-contact, archival, toy-safety, protective-wear or cutting-machine certification is supplied.
Make a plain-paper trial first; paper thickness and fold accuracy can change the fit.
