Hey momoluvers it's momo and today I'm making an awesome craft that makes cute decor for Christmas. It's called origami fireworks because it looks like fireworks when you spin it

Supplies

1- scissors
2- 15 sheets of 9x9 cm paper

Fold

Fold the paper diagonally both ways


Now fold the paper in fourths

Meet the Crease

Pull the flap up to meet the top corner and crease and crease it. Now push the edge in to make what looks like above

Repeat (kinda)

Do this with each sheet of paper. I'm not going to lie, this step is extensive! (I took about 2 and a half hours)

Fold the first flap up to form a little house shape.

Fold it back down over itself

Repeat on both sides on the entire thing

That's what it should look like when you've completed the whole thing

Flaps

Go between the flaps you just created and fold it up like so and then close it.

It should look like it does above.

Once again repeat this on every flap.

Connect the Ends

Take the two ends and link them together like you did in the beginning.

Finish!

This is what your final piece should look like! When you rotate it in your fingers, it looks like it's exploding.
