Spring is coming to Britain and daffodils are starting to brighten up our parks and gardens. Paper is just right for capturing the delicate form of a flower, and with practice it’s possible to make something that looks almost real.
As well as folding skill, you need a great design. Ted Normington’s daffodil is a masterpiece, first published in the BOS magazine in 1982, it still sets the standard today.
These beautiful examples are folded by BOS member Emma Tysoe. Â If you want to fold them yourself, diagrams are now available on the intermediate models section of the website.
Making the flowers well takes time, be prepared to have a few tries before getting your best paper and folding a great display. Like almost all of Ted Norminton’s designs this is a challenging model to fold well, so if you want something easier why not try
a tulip instead?
