Fluted Vase
Created by Marcia Joy Miller

1

Start with a completed
Flower Base. Open the model
completely to its inside face.

Display your origami flowers in elegant style with Fluted
Vase. You can also use the vase as a handy pencil holder.
This model is a little more challenging than the other
intermediate-level models. So, make a few of the other
intermediate models before working on this one.

PAPER: Make the model from the designated sheet of
folding paper included in the back of the book on page
179. You can also use a square of bond paper that is
from 8½ to 11 inches in size. After you gain experience
folding the model, you will be able to create an especially
attractive vase from a larger square of paper that has the
thickness of heavy weight bond (such as art paper). If you
do, then choose paper that is the same color or pattern on
both sides. To make a pencil holder, fold the model from
a square of medium weight
bond paper that is from 8
to 10 inches in size.

2 Bring the bottom edge to

the horizontal center crease
and make a short partial fold
at each side edge. Unfold.
Repeat with the other three
edges.

3 Make the indicated partial
crease. Repeat three times as
shown.

BASIC TECHNIQUES:
See Chapter 1 for the
Flower Base exercise.

4 See the magnification circle for detail. Form an octagon
by making partial creases that connect the existing partial
creases.
