Make flower bouquets or globes with this great project. A great way to recycle those old magazines and fun to do with the kids.

See the video tutorial and more on my website.

I tried it with six and it was very awkward and difficult to get a symmetrical-looking globe. Six petals just seem to be mathematically wrong (or maybe it's me). Now I know why the Japanese flower globes that I've seen on origami websites are usually shown with five.
